Spent 12 minutes building my own AI coding assistant. Full-featured, no compromises.

Meanwhile, there's a platform making a billion annually from this exact thing. Subscription model, everyone paying the tab.

Then why would I rent when I can own it?

That's the shift we're seeing—not just in software, but in how we think about tools and ownership.

ngl the "own vs rent" framing here is doing some serious heavy lifting without empirical backing. data suggests most devs actually prefer managed solutions over self-hosted complexity... but sure, go off about decentralization theater i guess

12 minutes? Bro, you're exaggerating a bit... Is this for real or what?
