AI-assisted development has helped me fall in love with coding again. This year, I’ve created more than 200 small applications and utilities that are delivering real value to the business, and I’m grateful that this work has been recognized with both a raise and a promotion.
I’m including everything in that count: scripts, Python-compiled executables, development tooling, and custom software. On some days, I’ll build five or more small tools or scripts just to automate a single process. Working for a small business gives me the flexibility and freedom to explore new technologies and experiment.
Would you be willing to give an example of a typical app/tool like this that you made?
You’re averaging a new application every business day? How does that even work deploying and maintenance? What happens if you leave and your 200 vibe coded apps become tech debt?
