I'm addicted. This is the most fun I've had coding in decades. I feel like I've got superpowers and the limit is just how quickly I can prompt out my ideas.
Those 500m are for coding. Started with $20 and now I'm on the $200/mo codex plan. Resets are crazy... free tokens, why not take advantage of all that VC money? Using omp helps a lot too, the fact that it uses an LSP under the covers is a game changer.
I'm building products non-stop. I have my own business where I built that dashboard and code within our own closed source. I'm side questing on another potential business idea. I published a bunch of open source. Go look at my HN browser extension (https://oj-hn.com) and tell me it is slop, I use it every day, works great, zero bugs and trivial to maintain. I wouldn't have built any of this, without AI.
Using AI to code is a brand new 10k hour skill. I started off not believing and a combination of models just getting better (very quickly!), the tooling getting better (ie: zed acp / omp), and turned myself into a believer. My eyes are wide open.
CloudFlare and their advancements makes it really easy to just deploy things and build products on top of. I'm glad Ryan is making celld, it'll bring this tech to the masses. Durable Objects are really neat, not everything has to be giant and scalable in every way. Just get the job done, refactoring is easy now.
Lastly, I had a major accident in May. 11 days in the hospital. Almost died, but I fought back and I'll recover. I'm very thankful for this life and I want to make the most of it. Building things people want, is how I will contribute. AI is being used heavily in the hospitals now too.
The downvoters and anti-ai angry posters trying to pick apart my words can go f'ck themselves.
Second-to-last paragraph has me non-jokingly interested in talking about working on something together.
Interested in chatting about a bigger swing, following the same user-first design mentality?
I have a great niche staked out, have operated in it previously for somebody else, personally elicited most if not all of the pain points of the underserved users in mind.
I saw ridecontrol a day or so ago - very sleek UX, and sharp UI; I sent it to all relevant contacts!
thank you. i built https://ridecontrol.xyz because of that accident. dr said to get on a trainer and strengthen my leg/butt muscles, i didn't want to write in a cartoon (zwift) and i couldn't find any other free software that i liked, so i used AI to build my own.
read the source, it isn't slop. i spent a lot of time carefully refining the UX to be something i enjoyed, clean and simple. the focus is on the data and there is even a whole physics engine under the covers to make the riding resistance as similar to the road as possible. i used the developer skills i already knew, to build something in record time. i ride an hour a day now and the exercise has been magical in my recovery. i would have never done something this complete and solid without ai and it would have taken me months instead of days.
absolutely reach out. let's build something. username at gmail.
I suspect you’re being downvoted because 500m a day (for that many days) is a bit much,
but there’s definitely plausibility, here.
If we all can’t hear more here, can I hear more by being your Executive Assistant?
