       The question is not how fast someone can create software. The question is how long after creating the software will someone support it.

       @lapcatsoftware support it? Is anyone even USING it? I think that's the more relevant primary question.

       @codinghorror @lapcatsoftware I gave my local ai strict guidelines when assisting me in making a simple booking system; PHP, HTML and CSS only, with a touch of progressive enhancements in vanilla JS on top. It had to last decades with minimal intervention.This was a project I would otherwise not have had the time to complete, but which I finished in a few nights spread out over a week.The flood of quickly made and then abandoned projects is kind of inevitable, but there are ways to leverage ai for long term projects with minimal maintenance, given the right constraints. No dependencies and fast moving parts, just old and 'boring' tech!

       @lapcatsoftware software is a liability, not an asset 🫠

       @lapcatsoftwareI was today days old when someone came into an #OpenStreetMap chat, saying they've made a tool for "comparing" (definitely not copying) data from a nonfree source, asking if someone can please host it for them because they (I believe I'm quoting their chatbot mouthpiece here) "just made the first version and the tool belongs to the community now"then they started also feeding the resulting chat conversation to an LLM and pasted its responses at us.Support period = over! 😂
