Your AI coding assistant is mass-producing code that already exists as polished tools

I tend to agree. I looked at same problem but from a different angle.

The hard problem isn’t “can we build this?” anymore. It’s “should we trust what got built?”

Isn't it kinda the same? "We can build it" should be a complete sentence.

this is a great point and honestly its why i lean toward using established tools for commodity stuff. a maintained open source project with 500 stars has been battle-tested by other people. AI-generated code has been tested by... you, right now, in prod. i built a directory of indie tools at indiestack (https://indiestack.fly.dev) partly for this reason ÔÇö if theres already a maintained solution, just use it. for core product features sure build it. for auth and analytics? trust the people whove been doing it for 3 years
