Since you joined the forum in 2024, it sounds like you missed a lot. Blip Interactive was around since I had my iPhone 3G (so he was coding well before that point) and after over a decade of effort for iOS music had to return to a real job to support his family, because the iOS scene was too caught up in arguing BM3 and others were far superior as they nit-picked every feature or lack of feature in NS2. That scared away customers and NS2 flopped. I think a minor amount of research would reveal that he was far from a code-and-run vibe coder.
It wasn’t a serious comment as @FizzyLizzy27 said above. But that is some seriously revisionist NS2 history lol.
Maybe not. A little snark is one thing, but I reserve the right to disagree on equating Blip Interactive as a code-and-run vibe-coder. Attempts at humor can be emphasized with emoji. I’m not flaming, just saying.
This isn’t the thread to discuss NS2, but of you want to elsewhere, let me know.
Me coming late to the party is where the impression comes from. Everyone holds NS2 to a high esteem and a lot seemed pissed when it disappeared. But to me, I bought it and within weeks it was discontinued.
Really, I don't know how my comment could be anything but a little snark. It was a sentence and a half. The point is, quality or slop, most indie apps can be axed at the drop of a hat.
Yah I hate to say it but my price tag for small indie shops is pretty low because of things like this, also apps later breaking in weird ways. If something is amazing, awesome and ambitious but rests on one set of shoulders I won't invest much. Even my time now. I spent years making a bunch of BM3 projects, amassing a couple hundred. Then I get a new M1 Pro ipad and go to curate them into groups to continue working on them but so many were broken because of various AUV3 updates. Never had this bad of luck on desktop and my Maschine projects from years ago all work fine. Err, maybe a bad example given the current state of NI, meep.
I saw something today in a vibe coding developer's blog who I won't name that I found interesting...
For this one / first vibe coded project, they were spending around $100 (USD) a month for the Claude "pro tier" agent, or whatever it's called.
How long before that app stops making you $100 a month just to break even...
Makes the $100 a year developer programme seem trivial, which I kinda think it is considering what you get. But even then, some indie devs argue that they can no longer justify paying that every year.
I'm curious to see how enthusiastic these pioneers will be 6-12 months from now... Because v1.0 is the easiest thing you'll do in my limited experience. Fixing bugs, dealing with the shifting sands of iOS versions, Apple's proactively shunting you on to the latest developer tools etc. You're gonna need Claude to help with that stuff too... Probably around the time that shiny new app from 6 months ago is making you zip-all dough.
Allegedly, I'll be "out of a job" for not embracing AI code generation... See you back here in 6-12 months then.
Seen that for years with start-up web design companies. They take in lots of new clients, knock-out cheap websites using template themes or ‘website in a box’ third party services. A year later, all those clients are bombarding their support with questions about missing features and broken layouts, which all need sorting for no additional cost.
Result, the rogue companies close down rather than spend money on fixes or new templates, and my business gets to take on a whole new bunch of their abandoned clients. We use easily updated, clean coded systems developed over the last 20 years, so retain clients, and get good feedback as a result.
Just starting to get enquiries due to broken sites that appear to be ‘vibe coded’. Ironically, instead of thinking I’d be out of a job soon, this AI slop is keeping us more busy than ever!
I sound like a broken record, but as with web design, 50% of software development’s value, is in future-proofing and support which, requires a cost-effective solution to provide it.
Can’t remember if I said it before, but I’ve done work as a software tester and found that’s been helpful using AI coding. The more familiar I am with Swift the better I can express what I want the AI to do and the easier it is to clean up mistakes.
Most coding work I’ve done has been as a contractors cleaning up messy codebases with teams of engineers and scientists. It’s been ages, but maybe now’s a good time to try to make something happen with that again. Open to any suggestions on finding work 😬
I’ve worked on the UI/UX design-side for software companies, particularly those with web interfaces, but not involved with proper software coding. I guess with the extra complexity involved compared to web development, having a bit of AI help might be a bonus.
At the end of the day though, running a business is all about making a profit, so being able to ensure you can keep your products and services updated in a cost-effective manner, keeping your customers and clients happy is key.
I’m avoiding the unknown AI wormhole for now at least, and sticking with the systems I know!
