Frontend, backend, workflow engines, payments, idk all of it.

Like you can make a cross-platform react native app with expo in a day without any AI (a proper app, not a boilerplate). Same with many web apps.

Shadcn with themes and components, tailwind, temporal workflows, etc etc. The complexity of making apps was solved years ago.

You can always have a dynamic pool based on your load of ready to use docker containers, then it takes like 15 seconds and is faster than basically any sandbox provider.

The tooling in 2026 is so easy you can do almost anything without AI very very quickly.

Its not like Claude is pioneering those. All that was done prior to all of them by some random startup.

>> how do you think about defensibility?

defensibility nowadays is app support and development. the more work you pour into it the more defensible it will be.

I personally would gladly pay to have app constantly polished and improved. What I would not use is some vibe-coded alternative that was slopped with AI in a day and pushed to github with a tweet "i made a free X alternative" and then abandoned.

>> apparently a bug?

it's a bug only if they get a harsh public response, otherwise it becomes a feature

It will be hard to convince them otherwise when their jobs are replaced with AI, and they are in their late 40s or later - with no time to adjust and to learn new craft.

Yeah I kinda agree. Considering llms write most of the code today, the need for fancy tech is lower than ever. A good old crud app looks like a perfect fit for ai - its simple, repetitive and ai is great at sql. Go binary for backend and react for frontend - covers 99.9% use cases with basically zero resource usage. 5 usd node will handle 100k mau without breaking a sweat.

Like any company they will squeeze the usage as much as they possibly can. There is not a little chance that prices can be 1k+ so only enterprises can allow coding subs.Those who have ROI will pay for it.

Current phase of usage/pricing is just testing the waters. Especially considering they are the market leader in this category.

It doesn’t really matter how good your taste is if you are drowning in the ocean of crap.

It won't get cheaper. It will be replaced with a better model at higher price. Like phones.

more and more often you see "new discoveries" that are very old concepts. the only discovery that usually happens there is that the author discovers for himself this concept. but it is essential nowadays to post it like if you discovered something new

yes and then still subsidise subscriptions by an order of magnitude

its obvious they will tighten everything and raise prices for years to come

And most importantly - limit housing speculation e.g. don't allow private equity to buy those.

Housing should not be a speculative investment or a wealth growth vehicle.

Housing must be a commodity.

> Can you expand on this?

sure. does your note taking app supports formatting? you don't need it today. you will need it at some point. images? same.

does it handle file corruption etc? no? then its pretty much useless.

does it work across devices? in modern world, again, it is pretty much useless without it

it works across devices? then it needs hosting. if it is hosted it needs auth, it needs backups

you can go on for ever.

the bar for very minimal note taking app that you actually will use is very high, with other software it is even higher.

and this is not even state of art, this is must haves

whatever you prototype - the one who built it in 6 month will have economy of scale to make it cheaper than your diy solution, and because they serve many customers and developed it for 6 months - their product will be 100x better than the one you diy

there is very very rare use case when diy makes sense. in 99% of cases its just a toy that feels nice as you kinda did it. but if you factor in the time etc it is always costs 100x more than $5/month you could usually buy
