Comment on AI Code assistants has made completing side projects so easy

Comments

Same here! I built around 6 side projects this year! One literally in 1h which now serves my little community I living in (<5k people) everyday.

A fun side effects I got from this: Now I can see my ideas fully fleshed out, and realised that, a), most of these ideas are stupid and better solved by existing solutions , or b), that the code was never the problem but tweaking the UI or user facing part to really hone in the problem I am trying to solve!

what coding agents you are using?

I am using Claude 98% of the time, and using Zed as an IDE for it.
