<p>Build trust, collect data from cdrowdsource, if you want to succeed on this.<p>Build trust by: truly making this a public good, by open sourcing it. Be the maitnainer. Data dump every week as a zipball/tarball. These will ensure you can't rugpull.<p>With this trust, offer an extension (open source of course) to all, which whever a user goes through crunchbase, traxn, etc, sends any factual data (hence non-copyrightable) to you. If you gained trust, I would also do this.<p>You get the right to be a maintainer, and figure out if you also want to make a business with it on top.</p>

<p>> It's perfectly possible for an engineer to be both a fantastic engineer, and bad at using AI<p>In this era, AI native skills are the major factor, alongside system design, which define who's fantastic. As an example, deep programming language or framework knowledge is a commodity now and not meaningful as a skill difference.</p>

<p>I'm seeing this in some teams I am aware of. It is usually a 3-4 people team working very closely. They're not using gas-town or such, but are typically creating abstraction after abstraction for reviews and assimilating changes (usually with a claude 20x account). They are human in the loop until the system stabilizes and needs no further AI.<p>It was like science fiction becoming aware of this pattern, but as the OP says, this is indeed happening. Going to change the shape of tech careers for sure. my 2c.</p>
