155 sats \ 5 replies \ @BlokchainB 6 Aug \ on: The AI era is breaking the glass ceiling for solo founders?! AI
I recently had this sense of euphoria when I started to use replit to build my dream SN iOS app. Went from taking course to course to feeling like whoa AI did all this for me. Laid out the roadmap and even produced a UI.
But now I feel like I have imposter syndrome. I know this app will have lots of issues and will be no where near ready for the masses.

All you have to hope for is that all the doomers are right and there will be no more employment for devs, so that the current price tag of about 6-8BTC a year for a good, self motivating, Sr dev goes down to more affordable price levels.
Unlikely though, because now literally everyone can be in your position. Demand will forever be high because everyone can have openai generate code. There is no moat in having the code, but being able/motivated to read slop and fix the issues in it does, and is probably going to be an awesome career plan.

Totally get that - I’ve had the same emotional rollercoaster. The bugs, the mess - that’s where the learning is. If it just worked, it wouldn't feel earned. Keep going - the fact that you’ve shipped anything already puts you ahead of 99% of "someday builders")
