Minimum Vibable Product… I’ll see myself out now
It took me a minute to realize that “MVP” means “most valuable player” to most people.
Apparently I’ve been in tech far too long, and care about sports far too little.
Minimum, sure.
Viable …
I going to point out the V wasn’t for Viable
know what’s great for MVPs? language specific frameworks like ruby on rails.
runs like dog shit, but you can have a full fledged app in days or weeks instead of months.
AI can’t do that.
Modern Ruby runs great. I’m a little surprised Ruby made it as far as it did with how bad it used to be though
agreed.
modern ruby can even outperform python, php, and others.
rails is still dog shit slow. but it is better now. considering what rails does though, the performance tradeoff is negligible. proper indexing and query improvements are extremely beneficial to UX.
I was looking at open-source app builder toolkits the other day and they’re all “ask an AI to build garbage” wrappers. There were way fewer options for toolkit-style visual app builders because those can’t be loosely slapped together in a couple weekends.
One can do all the vibe coding they need but if they understand nothing what the AI is giving and also not verifying, things can go wrong very quickly.
