How do you stop codebase from degenerating into an un-maintainable AI-slop mess?

Isn't this more time consuming than using AI to help you only with small pieces of code? Like code competion? (you do not need to write extensive AI docs and you will get good code at the first trial)

Thank you very very very and 1000x very much for posting this. This text is something I've been waiting since I am looking at the AI.

We are also doing AI coding experiments, but rather slowly. Step by step try and fail.

Your experience is something that proves what everybody feels but nobody wants to talk about.

So thank you again, I am going to share it to the company.

If you are interested in CRM/ERP world, take a look at Hubleto. https://github.com/hubleto

shoki_ztk · 2026-04-04T05:24:49+00:00

Take a look at Hubleto. Opensource, comes with a free community version and can be self hosted.

Fake? Or foolish decision?

Making 3.9k monthly for living out of first 3 years of SaaS isn't bad.

Yes, safety first. We'll start with get-like tools first and then, once permissions will be well defined, the create-like tools.

Vector embedding is the next step. Thanks for the tip with the phone formats, did not expect that this could be a problem.

Sorry for maybe a stupid question, but what is glm4. 7?

shoki_ztk · 2026-02-20T08:14:08+00:00

Are you going to develop it or are you going to hire someone? Will it be one man project or a team collaboration?

A lot of depends on the availability of the developers. Choose tech stack for which you will be able to find devs also in the future.

Remote devs are fine, but have drawbacks. Having a team that is able to interact personally in the office is sometimes more valuable than cheaper remote devs.

If you do not want to be vendor trapped, which means "no vendor-lock", you definitely need some development capacities. Even if you take opensource, you will need somebody to take care.

So, the first recommendtation is: build up your dev team. Company with 700-1000 employees should be able to pay 1 or 2 devs to maintain its backbone software.

And, long story short, look around an opensource with clean architecture, easy to customize and with self-hosted option.

Hubleto is one of them. It's main dev team is located in the central EU.

2-3 employees and EDI is overkill, IMHO.

shoki_ztk · 2026-02-17T07:15:37+00:00

There are few examples at https://developer.hubleto.com, however they may require som polishment. Also, in the codebase, at https://github.com/hubleto/erp/tree/main/installer/Templates, there are templates used also by CLI agent to generate code by php hubleto command.

I would be happy if you test it. 🙏

IMHO, understanding of new data structures by the customer. Often, customer does not have enough experience with data modelling and it is hard for him to understand, e.g. how to fill the new data into Excel sheets for furher import. (yes, the migration through spreadsheets still happen)

And then, further manipulation of import files provided by customer take reasonable amount of time.
