12 hours agoMost Developers Are Using AI Wrong.
Using AI in coding can create an illusion of speed, leading to a lack of understanding and ownership of the code.
Every iOS app I've shipped over the last nine years started the same way: a Rails developer with a great web app, users who want it in the App Store, and weeks spent on Xcode, signing certificates, and Swift boilerplate that has nothing to do with the actual product.
To dislodge that, OpenAI would need to deliver a platform that is meaningfully AI native rather than AI augmented. That means the repository itself becomes a living system that continuously understands the codebase, its intent, and its risks, rather than a passive store of files.
So I made a commitment to myself at the start of [month] to actually ship things instead of endlessly tweaking projects in private. I called it "Vibe Coding" - basically just building whatever feels useful in the moment without overthinking. In the first month, I managed to launch two tools: 1. Names Combiner ( https://namecombiner.us/, the better version of namescombiner com because people cretezcize me toooooooooooooo much Combines two names to create unique name mashups.
After streamlining our development and delivery process, we'll ship a new Stable release every week. Endgame will now be folded into our weekly activities. This acceleration is enabled by AI automation, including a one-click experience for creating test plans from feature request issues, reducing manual steps previously required.
Software development used to be simpler, with fewer choices about which platforms and languages to learn. You were either a Java, .NET, or LAMP developer. You focused on AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud. Full-stack developers learned the intricacies of selected JavaScript frameworks, relational databases, and CI/CD tools. In the best of times, developers advanced their technology skills with their employer's funding and time to experiment. They attended conferences, took courses, and learned the low-code development platforms their employers invested in.
