Looks cool. Are you a Rivian owner who solved their own problem or did you stumble upon it randomly??

  • Thanks! I used to own a Tesla and there were similar platforms out there. Bought a Rivian and wanted something like that. I started building this before AI-assisted coding was very popular. But it greatly increased my productivity.

    • There is that quote "there are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see". I feel like there is a solid variation with solid business opportunities instead of cathedrals haha.

      I've found AI to be a big productivity boost for myself, but I don't really use it to generate much actual code. Maybe it could do more for me, idk, but I also don't feel like I'm being left behind. I actually enjoy writing code, but hate most other programming tasks so it's been nice to just focus on what I like. Feels good to have it generate a UI skeleton for me so I can just fill out the styles and stuff. Or figure out stupid build config and errors. Etc etc.

      Anyways congrats on the product. I know a lot of people are negative about productivity claims and I'm certainly skeptical of a lot of them too, but if you asked most programmers 5 years ago if a super-autocomplete which could generate working code snippets and debug issues in a project would boost productivity everyone would say yes lol. People are annoyed that its overhyped, but there should still be room for reasonable hype imo.
