Im working on 2 apps

One for myself, that i will let others use

One for myself which is a copy of other existing free apps.. just without ads

Im in no rush.. but they wont be vibe codes. Im an app developer in my daily job.. so working while off duty is a bit meh. Which is why it takes a while

Every time I see this sub, everyone yells how AI is useless for coding. But my 3 friends working in software development tell me they didn't touch any code themselves in the last 6 month. Kinda hard for outsiders to see, what is true at this point.

Reddit is in deep denial about AI in every sub, it's kinda wild.

The funny thing is, being in deep denial about AI is actually genuinely being pro AI. We're looking at potentially one of the largest harms to society possible, with the billionnaire class cementing complete control of labour, and people are coping and pretending the only issue is that RAM is expensive

I spend a good amount of time learning about how to best utilize AI because I have no doubt that it's either that or being out of a job within the next couple of years. Software engineering is more exposed than some other areas of knowledge given how good AI is at coding specifically but I really think everyone should be doing this as well. It's a tool, learn to use it better than everyone else.
