The existence of an AI hype train doesn’t mean there isn’t a productive AI no-hype train.

Context: I have been writing software for 30 years. I taught myself assembly language and hacked games/apps as a kid, and have been a professional developer for 20 years. I’m not a noob.

I’m currently building a real-time research and alerting side project using a little army of assistant AI developers. Given a choice, I would never go back to how I developed software before this. That isn’t my mind poisoned by hype and marketing.

If you're using cloud AI assistants, they're being heavily discounted to you by investors, for now. Those discounts won't exist forever.
