I wonder if the folks who are like "Hey look! I built an app with AI!" understand what supporting an application and supporting customers/users of an application is like.

I fear it's similar people who adopt a cute puppy and then later it sinks in that they'll need to care for a dog over its entire lifetime.

Of course some people just give up on their adopted puppy and surrender them. How many applications will be abandon-ware within a year or two?

@rasterweb You think it'll take that long? I'd say 6 minutes at _most_ for most of it to be abandoned..

@rasterweb one hundred percent.

They don't want to support an app. They want the thrill of making something, and maybe even sell it I suppose.

They aren't doing it for any community they care for, they're doing it because they want to be acknowledged for making a thing.
Except they didn't.

@rasterweb

Good analogy. We're going to see a lot of it, I fear.

@rasterweb the vibe coded stuff from back in 2025 was problematic like you are saying. Now with Skills like Superpowers you can have the agent create your features with TDD and create specs and plans that ground the agent. They create some pretty impressive code. I know I’ve been doing this for 35 years.

@kevm Can they handle customer support and feedback so you don’t have to?

@rasterweb not really following your point. I’ve always provided support and enhancements for customers. They pay the bills.
