building a social app-creation system with a small team.
it evolves daily and still isn't what I want it to be yet, but we’re into it.
I design and code things and have a dependent/dysfunctional AI relationship.
posting updates as we go.

I'm rob. I work on cooked with a tiny team.
it's a social app-creation system we built from scratch.
I'll be posting updates here so people can see what we're doing under the hood while we keep scaling this thing.

I see reports from companies saying AI is actually slowing down their programming and making it worse. I get something like a 2-10x from it, but I run myself ragged mentally applying structure and architecture to the prompts. I think this is some kind of indicator

do you end up designing a complex system or solving major world problems - but only when you've stood in hot water for 20+ minutes?

do you actually like to code? do you find that you are doing so much more now with AI but it's really not the same job it once was?

the safest code is the code that'll never run... because you forgot to enable the feature entirely

real multitasking is more exhausting than most things. I used to be able to just focus on my one task I was on but now with ai agents doing most of the work, I'm more like a manager running 2-3 teams. it's wild how much i'm creating though.

one thing i'm finding very challenging about designing and developing a big platform is that even with a truly amazing product person and ui/ux expert, we struggle to bring forward the actual depth of functionality we've created to the user. it's so hard to do well.

i want ai to be a perfectionist about the code it designs in the same way i am but it's not and i just don't have time to be like that anymore

i think i’ll probably follow a lot of people here.
trying to get a read on the broader vibe of everyone online so we can make cooked into something everyone actually likes

anyone familiar with this space might look at cooked and assume it’s another no-code generator.
it’s really not. the architecture underneath runs actual full-stack apps and can pivot them at scale in real time.
probably the coolest thing i’ve ever built, and i’ve built some stuff i really liked.
