Yes, I have experienced it, too. I was building a web crawler using Replit as an agent. I could have done that in 2 hours without LLM help but I wanted to see how the LLM would do it. I gave it a set of of instructions but the LLM could not execute on it. It later choose an alternative path but that also did not yield. I then gave an exact list of steps. Results were slightly better but not what I was expecting. Overall, it's good to get something going but you still have to hold hands. It is not the best but also not the worst experience.
"We should strive for execution where at least your comrades also win." --> this won my heart!
It is not a zero-sum game. You win when your comrades win. The glory is not in taking it all but taking pride in what you have created and can potentially create and expand on over and over again. :)
I like reading posts like this one. May be they serve as a form of therapy for me that I’m not in this alone. There are others in a similar boat, fighting the good fight, making similar mistakes, and having the same realizations.
Very well; now, I can go back to work with my head up high. :)
This is a full-time position and not a contract engagement. The ability to work remotely is a possibility for an exceptional engineer.
We are looking for a dedicated and an experienced IOS developer to join a specialized, and small mobile team.
This is a key position in engineering team and you will have a unique opportunity to shape upcoming product features. You will drive implementation from ideation, scoping, development and ultimately to production.

One thing to note why you'd always have all these ideas and others don't is because you're a founder and they are programmers. It takes a certain level of conviction to voice your ideas. Not every programmer has that conviction.
Looks do matter but they only get you so far. What's more important is how you carry the conversation. You can make up for pretty much everything if you are good with words.
This is a classic technique for influencing people. The rule of thumb is nobody likes to be criticized in any situation whatsoever. The worst thing you can do is to tell them they are wrong. One way to get a difficult message conveyed is to get the other person say "yes" a few times before being told things as they are.

I believe some of the data aggregation is done by reverse engineering APIs of mobile banking apps. You can easily do that by setting up MITM proxy to intercept requests. In some cases, you may need to decompile app binaries to decipher password encryption algorithms.
I also think it's super important to make something you can sell in addition to making something people want. Frankly, there are so many things people want but not every founder has resources or is well-equipped to sell it.
Your goal as a founder is to maximize chances of __your__ success. Having the right founder-market fit goes a long way.
I think this is part of the reason who RoR, MEAN and other such frameworks are so popular. They tend to be easier to setup and many developers love it. My own theory is there are so many bad devs out there so that contributes to the hype because so may devs end up adopting it.
