The brings me to one of the point that i've been contemplating. I've been a long time web developer (Some of you would also likely know that i'm a long time tech speaker, mostly on web technology), and in the earlier AI days, the general consensus was that AI can quickly replace a junior dev. However, as the models gets more advance, and with powerful MCPs that complete the entire develop-test-feedback loop, many tech-savvy individuals can now be very potent developers as well. And as this goes on, i can imagine software/code are essentially commodity, do we still code? I run a small dev-shop, so that brings me to another question, what are our value in the near-to-mid term. What i essentially did today isn't just code. I was basically the PM, the UI Designer, the Copywriter, and the QA, all in one afternoon 🌚 The AI didn't just replace a junior dev; it replaced an agency. (yes, not now/immediately) Not only that, testing a silly idea like this in the past would probably cost 2~3 weeks of weekends?. Now, the "cost" is just one afternoon. This changes the landscape, we can imagine (or already seeing) a flood of softwares/saas/pico-sass and how would the market react? I don't have all the answers, but one thing for sure, dev-shop like myself would need to evolve, with different game plan. Perhaps one-man shop with many agents? or focus on product & strategy? Either way, our value can no longer be just execution. If you are interested in the app, check out dahmati.com
Earlier, I read about a viral app in China called "死了吗?" (Are You Dead?), and again in South China Morning Post & BBC. It is essentially an app that let user check-in every 2 days to avoid their predefined contact receive a notification about them.. not being alive. Since i have been experimenting with vibe-coding lately, i decided to fully vibe-code this app to see how far it can go. Turns out, it's actually way beyond my expectation. I spent about ~7 hours from concept to completion, not just MVP but fully functional app. From the more obvious stuff like DB, backend services & front-end to comprehensive stuff like - A consistent UI Design & Branding - Full compliant Installable/A2HS PWA with custom install prompt banner that's conditional to user device - Web Push Notification onboarding, and reminder push - Feature-gating for freemium business model, and Stripe integration - Mixpanel integration with custom events
