    I’m the opposite. I am so bad at coming up with ideas, but writing code for a new project with no tech debt is exhilarating.

          I sometimes wonder if these tech bros are truly oblivious to how stupid their ideas are, or if it’s a deliberate con intended to fleece tech-illiterate investors.

          I suppose it’s a little of column A and a little of column B, but I do wonder which is more prevalent.

    Just be the “business person” and find a dev to do the “easy” work, like every other person I’ve heard from when they present an app idea to me.

      Same. Been wanting to learn some new frameworks and stuff, but I’m incapable of learning without using it on a real use-case project I actually need.

      And I’ve been all out of ideas on that front for a while.

    Me when I begin and end my app.

    The middle part is fun. The setting everything up part sucks, and the polishing sucks.

      This. As a software engineer it has really reduced the mental load when starting a new project from scratch. I can quickly come up with the skeleton for a project and any boilerplate functions and just focus on making things work.

        I messed around with it back when it was apparently better than it is now, and it sucked ass. Fed me outdated info, broken code, and overall was a nightmare.

        Tried it recently real quick because I was converting my code, and I didn’t want to dig in the documentation, and the info ChatGPT spit out was 100% false. Not even broken, just wrong.

          It can be surprisingly helpful. I needed a small program to change between three “states”, two separate programs that use the gpu and can’t run at the same time that I run on a server, and an “idle” state where none of them are running. And a simple web ui to check and change state.

          This was the conversation: https://chat.openai.com/share/661322bc-2bd2-4608-9c7f-ec6d9f488601

          Note that it did mess up the transitions code a bit, but it was easy to fix after a brief look at the documentation. However, the http page worked 100% straight off the bat, and the flask code and running of the commands worked perfectly. It’s not a big thing, but a lot of “boilerplate” code and double checking docs was avoided. And this is the free tier.

          I feed it the relevant documentation first. It has large enough context size to handle it. But even that’s unnecessary as long as you’re not using a niche library.
