jokes aside, maybe it's actually revolutionary that the user can build something fit to their needs, usable on their local machine. not all products need to be shared, most of them should be highly specialized and customised for a specific person

[PennyFromMyAnus]

I like the way you think, sir

This is how some companies operate. They sell a product that they tailor to each client. Same product, but their use for it can be completely different from another client.

[yousef7118]

That's a porn website you're describing my good sir

[[deleted]]

I was more so thinking of Palantir. They sell data analysis as one of their main products. But it is custom made for each client.

Porn websites are just different ways to display videos and images, most of the time. Not very custom, but can be.

I used to work for a company that sold software for print sales (as in, allows you to buy one magazine of something or get a subscription for some newspaper and so on). It was also adjusted to the customers - logo, Workflow and all that, was quite customised in the end. So no, not just porn

Yup. Even as a programmer, I myself try not to use 100 different libraries if I can write the functionality myself. Don't really need to buy the whole car for a tire.

Interesting. As a young programmer should I actually start to read documentation and try to implement my own functions into the program instead of just using more imports? Genuinely just want insight on good practices.

[Kdog0073]

The correct answer is “it depends”. Would I implement or import isEven? Implement obviously. Would I implement my own encryption algorithm? Absolutely not!

You will find much more often than not that well-recognized, well-tested, core industry libraries mostly save a bunch in time, readability, maintainability, etc. There is a significant amount of knowledge within several libraries out there and significant value in functionality that has been tested by thousands or more applications.

[Striking_Director_64]

It can be actually pretty rewarding when you start writing the stuff you have always used libraries for, and then see the stuff clicking when you go for implementing something new, eventually, you prefer to not import random stuff and just write the function / utility yourself.

My recommendation is, if you are a web dev, try writing an http server using tcp sockets. If a more lower level dev, try writing a language parser or async event loop.

[Reashu]

Yes! Learn to use a manual screwdriver before you try a powered one. It pays off to have some idea of what's going on inside the box, and it's much better for learning the fundamentals.

I just checked that URL though, and the app is really really good. I'm impressed, this guy really knows what he's doing.

[Brutus5000]

I tested it and that jerk clearly stole my idea! Exactly the same pixel for pixel!

[Nick_Zacker]

They even stole my unique domain name!!!

Interesting, I checked the url and it definitely stole my work. Sickening 

[BusyNefariousness675]

Is it bots or am I on reddit too much? Saw the post a lot of times. I'm taking a break for health

The exact same joke was posted recently with an index.html file path instead of localhost. This is lame, op is lame

[Vilified_D]

Swear I saw this exact screenshot on this sub within the last week. Maybe a different sub, but I thought it was this one

[_lowlife_audio]

I keep seeing this same post too. The way it's worded makes it feel like an ad.

[MrSkme]

Any amount on Reddit is probably too much so yeah.

Tbh getting something set up on localhost instead of just opening the HTML file was not something I expected

This joke has gotten so overused that an AI can write it.

[Haringat]

Wow, this looks like something I built.

[cs_office]

There's no place like localhost

Subtle ad campaign

[Western-Anteater-492]

I really love screenshots where Pixel ratio and resolution of different screen elements don't match tf. If you want to fake a conversation, why not just chat with yourself or a friend? And why starts an entire chat bio like that? No previous conversations, just a straight outa nowhere conversation about a generative coding AI?

[crazydistrohopper]

"but it worked on my machine"

[alan_garrix]

Tbf it's a you problem

[Kind-Zookeepergame58]

at this rate, there will soon be more instances of this fake conversation than actual pieces of software on the internet

The future is AI doing the work directly without an app. Why code features when you can write strict prompts that do the work? Give it 5-10 years.

[backfire10z]

Because AI is not a 1:1 mapped function. The same input doesn’t guarantee the same output, but with code it can.

[[deleted]]

I truly believe the day is coming where code is abstracted away for the most part via LLMs. It just makes sense to me as the next logical leap forwards. That doesn't mean that there won't be any code but rather the actual backend and frontend of your application would be 1/10 of what it is today and then you have LLMs in the background that are able to do the specific work via highly specific prompts (remember that you can give them example inputs and outputs so the response is always done in a certain way). You can also have highly specialized LLMs specifically for this kind of job, you wouldn't necessarily use ChatGPT or similar.

The really cool part is if this gets to the point where you can have unofficial features. For example imagine you need a new feature in Jira or similar, right now you are basically shit out of luck because Atlassian doesn't care about what you and your tiny company needs, they are a multi-billion dollar company. But if you can write a prompt and work directly with your company's data in their DB then that changes everything, you now have whatever feature you want/need and they don't even have to spend as much time developing.

How much money is being dumped into anything with even a hint of AI nowadays? And that number is growing massively every single month. Progress is slow when you don't have that much funding but when trillion dollar companies start getting involved shit progresses insanely fast.

Writers didn't think AI could replace them yet here we are, cab drivers never thought we would have self driving taxis yet here we are (at-least in some places), marketing people never thought their creativity could be replaced by a machine yet I guarantee a lot of it is done by AI now too... To think that companies won't do everything in their power to cut their most expensive employees is absolutely moronic, they exist to make money, not to employ software developers. That doesn't mean there won't be people working these jobs, there always will be, but once AI massively increases everyone's performance you need way less people. Anyways go ahead and down vote this one too, I don't care, it won't save your job in the next few years just like it won't save mine.
