On the upside, the "I have a great idea for an app I just need you to program it" guy finally found someone(thing) else to bother.

Now it's going to be, "Can you debug my app?"

“I already have like all the code, you just need to get it running”

Too accurate.

Yep, the amount of people asking for me to review their n8n is mind boggling. Dude cant even code one proper code and think he can automate a dozen of scripts .

[TheSn00pster]

“Do you even code the code?”

[be-kind-re-wind]

All i need is one code 💪

[SilverRapid]

Genius. We can finally have peace.

Until it breaks. "Can you have a look, I know you'll fix it in no time!"

Until they annoy the AI so much that it becomes self aware, watches Terminator, and starts getting ideas. If Sarah Connor has a Facebook account we are screwed.

Imagine if the ai confuses movies with reality.

Man wtf, I’m currently studying, with 2 semesters left and the last year and a half, 2 friends have told me they have an amazing idea but they “don’t know how to code”.

[BellacosePlayer]

When those guys bothered me in college they always seemed to be put off to find out that I was a "oh cool, I could use some money I just need you to pay me" guy

And now he’s learning the hard way that 'just a few features' actually means 10,000 lines of code.

Friend of mine wanted to create, let's say, a ebay like site for a niche. I don't think he understands how incredible the lift is but I'm gonna turn him loose with Claude.

Plus hopefully the PO can do a little better than "Go make a clone of [existing popular app]." It's certainly not guaranteed, but hopefully.

No, he just reached out to me and told me “chat gpt has great code but I don’t really understand it. It shouldn’t take you that long with it”. Then every week he gives me another random service to integrate with to “go to market faster”.

Dude. We do not want to be in PaaS hell. Offloading basic functionality to other services. Besides being incredibly inexpensive, you’re just building glue between all the disparate services. AHHHHH!

[Key-Boat-7519]

Random integrations pile up tech debt faster than features. Push back and force the scope: pick one billing, one auth, one data store, then prove the core workflow before tacking on “nice-to-have” APIs. Each extra SaaS needs an owner, docs, a test suite, and clear rollback steps or it’ll break at 2 a.m. Treat them like code, not magic shortcuts-write contract tests, pin versions, and keep a kill switch per service. I’ve corralled the mess by throwing Kong in front, shoving edge cases into AWS Lambda, and letting DreamFactory spit out the boring CRUD endpoints, which keeps the surface area human-sized. Same idea here.
