I make all my own slop apps now. Bespoke crappy solutions for bespoke crappy problems. Abandmont rates are up, I can attest
Yeah same. I make loads of little things to bodge my own problems but would never be moronic enough to try and capitalise on something that took 60mins to make.
I like Cory Doctorow's take: AI is good for single-use, personal code to solve an immediate problem, and terrible for long-term, production projects. I imagine there's a bunch of neophytes out there who use AI to create their first project, find out that github exists, and thinks someone else must be having the same problem they just solved, so why not release it to the public?
