That's a fascinating way to look at it.

I've always found my self at the clean code end of the spectrum (which also means simple and flexible to me) because it makes it easier to be flexible for customer needs. So I like good code but it's a means to an end.

Hahaha yes- reddit relationship advice is always like "You need to leave them immediately, what are you thinking, have some self respect you need to end it" when the other person forgot the redditor's favorite brand of corn flakes or something.

Convenient warfare!

That's exactly why I think vibecoding uniquely benefits solo and small team founders. For anything bigger, work is not the bottleneck, it's someone's lack of imagination.

Yes there's more red tape the larger you get but there's also working product(s) that when they're broken you stop making money.

Swiss vote one-time private key comes in the same envelope as your certificate of eligibility and ballots for postal votes.

miniflux is pretty good. news.mystuff.net is pretty sweet.

Do you feel Claude does better on this?

Yes.

Claude feels more like an equal, a coworker. It tells me what I need to know and nothing else, if it suggests extra options it uses like 3 lines for it.

ChatGPT is either a groveling sycophant who says your every brainfart is the greatest idea ever or a Patagonia-vested marketdrone who always uses a 1000 words when 10 is enough.

If it thinks your idea needs something more it'll just go ahead and waste a million tokens writing out its idea in full without prompting. Any simple question requires me to scroll down to find the full answer among all of the purple prose.

Fascinating- I've always loved the big picture, architecture, and I've also loved stable software but have one hell of a time fixing bugs. AI helped me a ton with that.

Well if you're ever in need for a complementary mind in side projects- huh, how does one connect over HackerNews?

I just put an email address in my profile. You could set up a temporary one and add it if you’re hesitant to share your real email with the internet.

Sounds like they wouldn't need someone like you anymore, now that they've got AI to do the parts they're not good at =)

This is where I’m at

I stopped trying to recruit cofounders because I don’t need them anymore

I can do everything I need to do by myself plus tools at a pace no set of humans can achieve

But AI can fix the bugs, so they won't need me either!

I dunno I think I'd rather use bitwarden secrets to pull the current ones using systemd preexec and an access key in the service file which is root and 600.

Curve pay works!
