Replit AI Agent is insane. You guys are probably not going to see me for a while. I wanted to insert some funny tool belt meme but I don't even have time to look for a meme so you'll have to settle on my words. <exagerated tool belt with all the gadgets in batman suit meme>

devs are done for. never been clearer. even replit's offering it seems like a bandaid. the end game being companies will just deploy their own agents without saas in the middle, and hobby devs will run it locally.

I disagree. Here’s why. When Home Depot, or other hardware stores were able to offer more refined raw goods for hobby diyers, explosion for skilled building continued. I think the misconception is that people underestimate how much infra and products it takes to build complex networked cities that feel modern. And how many different types of people it takes to participate in the market. I do think engineering wages will shift but their great ones will still be getting big $$$ and will be in very high need.

i don't think you can apply the same logic as home depot streamlining physical building with software and ai. those sectors are not the same. what we would imagine as an agent in physical building is industrial sized 3d printing but that's not in reach to most people yet, software on the other hand - just clone a repo. you cannot use absolute rules when making comparisons in this scale.

Luckily I’m using relative variables and weights, not absolutes. How much experience do you have building homes and what the pipeline of that looks like? I ask because I have learned software mapping that aspect of the physical world and it has worked amazingly to help me navigate my understanding of software, even as it scales.

i can tell you if i build homes today it certainly won’t be remotely as easy as prompting.

Yeah but you also carry the particular understanding of how to prompt. I understand data, can talk products, somewhat architecture, have great physical resource reasoning (self-proclaimed), and if I tried to write code, I struggle, if I prompt I struggle much less. Today anyone can run copper pipe, solder, and turn on the water line, literally a car drive away. Yet very few do. You’re overestimate the will people have to do things and their ability to overcome the cognitive load, even if commoditized, carries to execute properly. Even if just words and prompts.

you lost me, the difference is too far in between the two fields of practice. prompting today may not as be as intuitive as asking it to do x in a snap of a finger - but that's the goal (soon, certainly is possible today today), sitting on the couch or desk doing voice commands, and asking it to iterate again if there are issues - i dream of this day, no keyboards, no clicks, just ephemeral apps. you cannot do this with physical building (yet?) which has existed since forever.
