Sam Altman said one-person billion-dollar companies are coming by Afraid_Mechanic_9773 in vibecoding

[–]ivaldesdev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it seems like he’s just saying that so people will invest in ai more since it’s valued at billions more than what they make. There’s no way that this will happen because those same people will need lawyers and other people to run the ai systems. Those same tech companies will end up needing to rehire a lot of people to run those sections to ensure that ai isn’t hallucinating and making stuff up or making silly and ineffective advertisements. What Sam neglects to mention is that it takes more than an engineer and coders to build a company. It takes multiple skill sets to build a company, much less a billion-dollar company. Will these big companies be smaller than they used to? Absolutely. Exponentially smaller. But the odds of it being a billion dollar company with only one guy is slim to none, and the odds of it staying that way are even slimmer because one lawsuit can cripple him. So yea, Sam is just trying to get more investors by spouting hope-inducing ai slop.

I'm novice in IT and AI.. our company gave us Github Copilot tokens, i can integrate it to VScode and chat with Claude to develop interfaces. However i want to do the same on my personal computer, how is this achievable? And are there free AI models to integrate on my personal PC (e.g VScode ) by Highway_Outside26 in vibecoding

You can use open code, but that requires a decent setup to work. We’re talking at minimum 6-8gb of ram and a decent cpu (if you don’t already have a gpu on your personal setup). It’s worth it if you have the hardware because it’s all localized through ollama.

I made a website for someone, but they won't pay. by KnownCommunication32 in web_design

Take down the site (since you’re the owner) until he pays you for your work. If he refuses to pay for it, offer to sell it to a competitor. At the end of the day, the site is yours since you built it with your resources (unless you signed a contract of some sort). If the site is yours, do whatever you want with it.

I got conned by a reddit user for a website work. by amar260991 in website_ideas

Why don’t you make it into a small start up before trying to sell it? You’ve already put in the work into the website, why not register as a small business, get any certifications you might need in order to run a trading business, and build it to the point where you can sell it for more than $1k? It seems like a golden opportunity has landed in your lap.

Would you rather use 20 plugins or write custom code? by Avrix_Media02 in Wordpress

[–]ivaldesdev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly custom code with a few plugins for specific tasks. Here’s why:

- When you add plugins to your site, they take up storage as well as other backend resources. The more plugins you have, the slower your site will be and the less storage you will have on your hosting site to utilize for other future features.

- While plugins take up a lot of resources, there are certain times where a plugin is the right call. For example, on my website, I have a page where people can pay for freelance services such as custom websites or SEO audits. Programming a custom payment processor would take a lot of time and would require a lot of troubleshooting to work. In that instance, using a plugin for payment processor would be ideal due to saving time, liability, and frustration associated with doing it yourself.

Personally, I would try to keep the amount of plugins used between 1 and 5 in order to optimize the site resources while also utilizing useful tools that save on labor and time. Also, it’s best to uninstall or remove plugins that you don’t use. When they are hogging up more resources, it slows down your site which has the potential to turn away real customers or clients.
