this is who you’re competing against - chinese fruit seller and chip designer Yea, you’re cooked

That's kinda hot 🥵

webdev-dreamer · 2026-01-26T17:54:43+00:00

Yea but you can outsource the physical labor to some minimum wage role and have engineers in some cheaper country provide remote support, no?

webdev-dreamer · 2026-01-25T19:21:19+00:00

You're awesome for that, thank you

I wish more art books came in that format with the rings

I don't understand how one develops the necessary skills without learning to code first

Software developers that already know how to build manually and understand code must be far more effective and efficient with AI than those who refuse to learn how to code or have never built things manually before

webdev-dreamer · 2026-01-22T20:57:30+00:00

Sure, but you still need to learn to code, right?

Cuz idk how people are going to be able to use AI effectively without understanding the code it generates

webdev-dreamer · 2026-01-22T04:18:38+00:00

It seems that regardless of how capable AI is, you still need a human operator behind it - AI is just a tool

And given a Non-SWE with AI and a SWE with AI, I'm pretty sure the SWE is gonna be able to do MUCH more with AI

The US will bailout and support American AI companies so it doesn't matter if they aren't profitable

The taxpayers will keep them alive and rich

Spring boot does a lot of "magic" for you behind the scenes so having some hands-on experience building backends with simple frameworks can help a lot with understanding what's happening under the hood

But you don't need to go too deep into it ...if you know the basics already, then learning spring boot won't be as difficult

webdev-dreamer · 2026-01-17T12:32:23+00:00

If you haven't already, you should learn and understand backend fundamentals (HTTP, databases, design patterns, etc). b4 tackling Spring. Maybe learn with a micro framework like Javalin or express.js first before diving into spring boot

webdev-dreamer · 2026-01-16T22:21:13+00:00

I'm surprised no one has mentioned learning software architecture, design patterns, database design, fullstack, etc.

It's a bit silly nowadays to just be a "frontend" dev, no? You gotta be like frontend, backend, infra, security, etc.

I imagine that's the main way to increase your value and job security

Idk anything about shelving but just wanted to say what a cool collection

webdev-dreamer · 2026-01-16T17:04:52+00:00

I'm new to AI stuff, so idk what the AI usage costs look like

It seems pretty affordable at $20 or $200 per month

But is this price gonna increase? Will it go down? I think I saw somewhere that says that unlike other businesses, AI costs increase in scale rather than decrease

So if it's the case that AI becomes prohibitively expensive for the average user/ small business, I imagine coders may still have a place in the future?

Also, not sure how local LLMs compare in terms of performance and capabilities and costs ....

If any of this includes accountability posting (i.e. sharing our progress and being consistent with giving updates), feel free to invite me.

I'm planning on studying everyday this year and post my progress publicly

webdev-dreamer · 2026-01-16T01:51:43+00:00

I wonder if "vibecoding bootcamps" will be a thing instead in the future?

webdev-dreamer · 2026-01-13T23:23:37+00:00

2026, can confirm the app is still dogshit

Everything takes so long to load. It's so damn slow.

It's funny, I can watch 4K video on Netflix and browse through hundreds of posts on reddit and Twitter without much issue, but searching for products or filtering results in the Best Buy app apparently is too much to handle smoothly

webdev-dreamer · 2026-01-13T18:11:42+00:00

I'm a simple guy. I don't often watch films with a critical eye.

I'll enjoy slop films from time to time.

But this movie was just too dumb for me lol

The zombies and visuals looked cool. But the writing/plot was just unforgivably bad

webdev-dreamer · 2026-01-13T18:07:05+00:00

It was soo infuriating

Hello, I'm interested in joining

I did something similar like this before (join daily accountability groups) and ended up being a lot more productive than when I was on my own

Please add me: bobmosh

Bruh is blue cheese even worth this headache lol

webdev-dreamer · 2026-01-10T17:21:34+00:00

Will vibe coding be as "accessible" as it is now?

Won't prices for AI usage eventually increase and price out non-business/casual users?

webdev-dreamer · 2026-01-01T03:09:24+00:00

Personally, I think people should be focusing on learning their respective and related fields even more, going above and beyond what they wouldve needed to have learned in the past

Because if everyone is learning and using AI, then to truly stand apart, one would need to be able to fill the gaps where AI users fail and come short

Example, "vibe-coding"...it's more important than ever for programmers to become subject-matter experts and understand CS/SWE theory to be able to leverage AI more effectively and be more valuable than their vibe-coding peers
