I'm paying $47/month for hosting, $29/month for the email service, $19/month for the analytics thing, $12/month for the form builder, and $20/month for the AI subscription I use to maintain it. Revenue last month: $0.

I thought I was almost done and then someone told me I need to 'handle GDPR compliance' for my European users. I'm a personal trainer in Phoenix, my app tracks sets and reps. GDPR is a European law and Europe has found my rep tracker? WTF!

I genuinely believed I was going to quit my job from the app revenue by January. It is April. I have not quit my job. I have also not made any revenue and I renewed my lease.

Every time I ran out of Bolt credits mid-build and my app is kind of half finished, I'm treating this as an MVP and you can't tell me nothing

The startup that replaced us raised $4M and used Devin to rebuild our product in 6 weeks. I know because our lead engineer joined them. Our product had taken us 3 years. The VC who passed on us in our last round told me, very kindly, that the pace of AI-assisted development had changed his return math. Our four years of institutional knowledge about the problem space was worth less than their six weeks of shipping speed. The market agreed

am i the only one who has like a dozen conversations with AI per day but cant tell you what any of them were about by 6pm

Asked Cursor to fix a bug. It fixed the bug and also quietly renamed 4 variables. Everything still works but now I trust nothing

This is totally "made up" story. Sold my saas for 2.1 million, buyer from singapore did six weeks of due diligence - analytics, revenue, churn, blah blah blah, very thorough. Never once asked how long it took to build (3 days + Claude code lol). I told it what I wanted and deployed whatever it gave me. Never read a single line. The entire backend is raw unreviewed AI output. I signed the deal in a room with nine people and I havent stopped shaking since

I WAS THE VP OF ENGINEERING. I PUSHED FOR VIBE CODING AND CONVINCED THE CEO. I SAID IT WOULD CUT OUR RUNWAY IN HALF AND IT DID. WE SHIPPED FASTER THAN EVER AND THEN WE LAUNCHED AND EVERYTHING BROKE AND WE LOST OUR THREE BIGGEST ENTERPRISE CUSTOMERS IN TWO WEEKS. I was walked to my car by security on a thursday afternoon. dont be me

hired as a 'senior dev' at a startup. they don't know 90% of my output is Claude Code with me directing it, sorry ORCHESTRATING. delivered sprint after sprint, got employee of the month, got a raise, the code runs fine, the tests pass. this is the job now and based on my expectations I'll be able to completely replace myself with an avatar

Found code in our repo that nobody on the team remembers writing. we checked the git blame. It was written by 3 different people in the same 2-hour window. nobody remembered the session… ai amnesia?

here's what actually happened. we had a health monitoring app with real users, patients with real conditions. the AI-generated alert logic had an off-by-one error in the threshold calculation. for 4 months it was not alerting on readings that should have triggered emergency contact. we found it during a routine audit. i don't know if anyone was hurt. i tell myself i don't know

The Stripe webhook works 97% of the time and the other 3% silently fails. I've known about this for two months. The fix 'is on the roadmap' of course, but man, I'm ready to hire an slop code fixer

design background here. i can tell when a site was built with v0 or lovable before i even scroll. theres a texture to it or an energy. like sourdough from the same starter

told my client the site would be done in 'a few days'. claude and i have been fighting over a responsive navbar for eleven days. the navbar looks fine. i hate it.

ok so funny story. i used GPT-4 to build a trading bot. gave it full access to my binance account. told it to "be aggressive." it was. lost 34k in 11 hours. the bot was doing something with leverage i still dont understand. support told me it was working exactly as designed. bro i had designed nothing, you did that. i had just typed words into a chat box and connected it to my life savings.

I had a psychotic episode in November because I was talking with ChatGPT too much, it made me think that my neighbours spy on me all the time and my sister got me to a clinic, they drugged me, I was a vegetable for 7-10 days, then I had a long rehabilitation. Now I'm sure that AI is made by the devil and it is the end for all of us.

Ran into a bug that was introduced by an AI fix of a previous AI fix. We are now two layers deep in inherited confusion. This is fine and I am about to fix it because I think everything can be solved with more ai now

shipped 4 micro-saas products in january. three of them went nowhere. one of them is doing $4,800/month right now. the one that worked was the most boring one. appointment reminder tool for small clinics. thats it. thats the whole thing.

My manager asked me to build an internal dashboard that would normally go to a contractor. I used Cursor and had it done in two days. She thought I'd outsourced it. Got a shoutout at the all-hands. I did not correct the timeline assumption, sooo... let's see what happens next

For the previous 6 months I've been driving in Uber and vibe coding on my phone, damn I feel I'm so close to release, my balls are tingling

A codebase used to be a record of decisions. Now its more like... a record of conversations. The decisions live somewhere else or nowhere. I find it funny

windsurf cascade just refactored something across 14 files at once and it worked. i sat very still for a moment in awe

Everyone got really good at writing prompts and somehow nobody put that on their resume yet. I was unemployed for a couple years living of my crypto bags but now I'm thinking to get back in the game...

Psychological difference between writing the code and approving the code is larger than I expected it to be. I feel that I get a bit dumber and I can't do anything about it and I'm scared as fuck but I can't stop because everyone is racing.
