We have all these vibe-coding platforms and a flood of applications that are 90% there but not quite finished. Then everyone is trying to get that last 10% and capture the value there. The people winning so far are mostly agencies, right? Or hackers going door to door and selling custom solutions. But what’s ki...

I can't prove it, but I think AI is causing me brain damage

Not sure what to do, worked in software engineering for nearly 20 years now. And the last several years of working on this stuff has caused what I can only describe as significant cognitive corrosion. Hoping to transition out of this career or into a new role as soon as I can where I can use this tech significantly less.

Ask HN: Will AI trigger mass IP protectionism in software?

One of the reasons AI is so "good" at software development is that it is trained on a snapshot of a large corpus of already solved software problems.

Or has the value of code, tools and software become so cheap it doesn't really matter anymore? Comments URL: https:/...
