No longer hiring junior or even mid-level software engineers. Our tokens per codebase: Gumroad: 2M Flexile: 800K Helper: 500K Iffy: 200K Shortest: 100K Both Claude 3.5 Sonnet and o3-mini have context windows of 200K tokens, meaning they can now write 100% of our Iffy and Shortest code if prompted well. It won’t be long until AI will be writing all the code for Helper, Flexile, and Gumroad. My guess is by the end of 2026. Our new process: 1. Sit and chat about what we need to build, doing research with Deep Research as we go. 2. Have AI record everything and turn it into a spec. 3. Clean up the spec, adding any design requirements / other nuances. 4. Have Devin code it up. 5. QA, merge, (auto-)deploy to prod.
