It took me 14 hours to make this thread, finished at 5am. Pls, be nice.

yeah that's my key concern.

or it might also be the opposite and junior devs may be using AI and learn faster.

In my own biz, I stopped hiring junior devs because it's faster for me to use AI for coding than to explain what I need and then validate the implementation with code-review...

I didn't mean all-dev, but "junior" devs.

I was planning to build 100 mini tools for SEO. The goal was to hire a dev team. I approached an oursroucing agency and they told one tool will cost 1k-4k. So the budget is between $100k-$400k.

I decided to try to do it with AI developers. Tried bolt.new, v0 and then replit. Replit did the work the best. It took me less than half an hour to make the tool I wanted. Now I wanna spend the next 10 days making all these tools myself.

Anyone doing the same?

I made a 100% free directory for open source and self-hosted tools. Enjoy saving your hard earned money by not paying for all those expensive SaaS alternatives
