On: Guys, I'm Scared

[threecheese]

So let’s hear about it; sounds like you have an excellent response to the hundred of comments here about the lack of “real products” being built this way.

Things I’m curious about: - Swift? Hearing a lot about genai lack of effectiveness in the language and in the Xcode platform - Do you understand the codebase enough to provide support to paying customers, or are you confident enough in the models to not care - How are you handling security controls, and are you delegating this to the models? Given you can (likely) capture keypresses this is important - What does your process look like? Toolchain etc

Also, we sorta like these types of shills, if you do it right; most of us are in the same type of boat.

I'll walk you through what I did:

1. Codex setup the skeleton xcode project

2. I prompted it to add a sound for every keystroke and leave placeholder names for the audio

3. I recorded the audio of keystrokes and added to the folder codex told me to add to.

4. I then asked it to review the xcode project from the perspective of apple's app store policies. And then asked it to rectify them all.

5. I ensured there's no API calls or logging of keystrokes (this is arguable the main value add I had during the build)

6. Submitted to the app store. Passed review.

7. Codex for landing page and asked for placeholder images.

8. Submit to HN and have a beer giving a toast to the career I once had
