however I have a feeling that if too many people (and organizations) start doing this the open internet as we know it breaks

Looking for a full-time software engineering role with real ownership, particularly around backend systems, infrastructure, and AI-native development. I currently lead end-to-end development of a Japanese learning platform using TypeScript and AWS. Previously, I built Java/Spring Boot services and Kubernetes infrastructure, and led the team’s adoption of ai native development workflows. I’ve built with LLMs since 2022;

i get why they're doing it, but i just don't think it will scale. new image gen models are just getting better and better. if they simply choose to categorically ban them, they're missing out.
For example, person A implements the simple solution, gets the project done faster while person B over engineers, has seemingly impressive stuff to talk about but at the end of the day doesn't ship.

Love building with AI!also check out https://www.spottedinprod.com if you're looking for some nice iOS apps
ofc i'm aware of modern agent loops; without them it wouldnt be possible to build apps with the click of a button in the first place
my code is 90% ai generated at this point

> Roadmap and priorities: What gets built when and how to balance competing needs
> The transition itself: How to bring in more support without disrupting what already works
In other words: they have no clue what to do next (https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/ankis-growing-up/68610/2#p-1905...)
linux / windows requires extra testing as well as some adjustments to the software stack (e.g. liquid glass only works on mac); to get the thing out the door ASAP, they release macos first.
looks like the same framework they used to build chatgpt desktop (electron)
edit - from another comment:
> Hi! Romain here, I work on Codex at OpenAI. We totally hear you. The team actually built the app in Electron specifically so we can support Windows and Linux as well. We shipped macOS first, but Windows is coming very soon. Appreciate you calling this out. Stay tuned!
- workspace agent runner apps (like Conductor) get more and more obsolete
- "vibe working" is becoming a thing - people use folder based agents to do their work (not just coding)
- new workflows seem to be evolving into folder based workspaces, where agents can self-configure MCP servers and skills + memory files and instructions
kinda interested to see if openai has the ideas & shipping power to compete with anthropic going forward; anthropic does not only have an edge over openai because of how op their models are at coding, but also because they innovate on workflows and ai tooling standards; openai so far has only followed in adoption (mcp, skills, now codex desktop) but rarely pushed the SOTA themselves.

Doing a working holiday in Japan, Osaka starting April 2026. I love building stuff, especially when it has to do with AI (mostly LLMs). I have tons of ideas, so in my freetime I turned many of them into open-source projects (see GitHub). At work I'm working with Java / Spring Boot and k8s - 50/50 split between Dev and OPS. I would be particularly interested in positions that have something to do with AI native software development/applications. The field is rapidly changing and I think there's a lot to explore.AI written text is often characterized by a very peculiar choice of words — many people report "delve into" is a particularly telling sign of text written by AI.
If you want me to add more examples, feel free to ask me for more!
