Freelancers are shuddering in horror (or gasping in delight) at all the work they'll be getting from this in the next few years.
Endless numbers of ridiculous Ideas Guys will be showing up at tech meetups with "I got this thing like 90% of the way there, now I just need this little bit done, it'll take a good coder a few hours, right?".
Delving into the code base will be a Dantean expedition into the first few rings of Web Dev Hell, replete with LLM hallucinations of API endpoints that would be great if they existed.
The no code space in YouTube is on fire right now with people showing off how to build apps with ai.
The tools aren't too bad, I've been building a few things with cursor and ChatGPT to see how far you can. It's basically like you're pair programming with a junior who knows how to do all the basics but needs a lot of help in review.
Your read that this is going to be a huge mess in the freelance space soon is very accurate, the better the tooling gets the worse it will be.
