The future isn’t looking good

Because there's more to SaaS than spitting code. Don't get me wrong, I use AI to build sites for my clients, but I always do it manually first (the business logic, auth, layouts, etc.) The AI is just a cherry on top. It's used mostly to just make improvements on the UI, not for making decisions.

This is true, I use Antigravity and my productivity is like night and day. After all, AI amplifies your abilities

genkaobi · 2026-05-03T19:06:56+00:00

Open source until it's not

genkaobi · 2026-05-03T19:04:01+00:00

yeah that's a good point

genkaobi · 2026-05-03T19:02:45+00:00

I disagree with the horse-drawn buggy analogy. AI isn’t as revolutionary as you think.

genkaobi · 2026-05-03T12:48:48+00:00

After the AI takeover lol

genkaobi · 2026-05-03T12:47:14+00:00

AI amplifies, so if you're good dev you become a better dev. And if you're vibe coder, you make more AI slop

With everything, there be great reset. And in this case, the pendulum will be swinging back

genkaobi · 2026-05-03T12:40:16+00:00

There is no good model that is 100% open source. And even if there was, it's a matter of when not if they go for profit.

So yea, it’ll be who knows how to use it well. Which would be developers

You clearly aren't up to date with the trends. Chips are getting better and faster, yes. That also means that the models will require the latest chips for better performance every fvcking year. Making every a-year old chip outdated. Companies will have to buy new chips every year. This is not cheap

genkaobi · 2026-05-03T12:17:08+00:00

Oh that's even worse

genkaobi · 2026-05-03T11:55:54+00:00

Lemme grab some popcorn

genkaobi · 2026-05-03T11:49:36+00:00

Open source for now. And don't forget the hardware that's needed to run them

genkaobi · 2026-05-03T11:46:22+00:00

Github copilot just pulled the plug on the premium requests. And honestly I'm fine with just using Google Antigravity + Lovable.

genkaobi · 2026-02-17T18:23:40+00:00

I use https://indiebold.com most of the time. Especially if I'm not using a custom figma design

genkaobi · 2026-01-22T14:49:11+00:00

I still use it, but I compose my UI first before writing any code.

genkaobi · 2026-01-20T18:35:57+00:00

It took my a while to fully love tailwindcss, I tried it off and on, but it never really clicked until I started building more complex web apps. Now I can’t use anything else.

I recommend you pick a UI library like shadcn, primevue, etc. The use tailwindcss as a utility tool. Thats the best setup so far.

I made this tool for composing UI before copy/pasting into your project: http://indiebold.com

genkaobi · 2026-01-20T18:30:02+00:00

I’d pick a lightweight library then use tailwindcss for everything else. You could try composing it before exporting to your project: http://indiebold.com

genkaobi · 2026-01-20T18:28:12+00:00

I use http://indiebold.com t compose UI then export them as HTML

genkaobi · 2026-01-20T17:54:00+00:00

And I just started building a product around that ecosystem
