- The author addresses skepticism about AI-generated projects by arguing that writing code is only one bottleneck; actually shipping products involves many other challenges.
- The author lists personal projects built with AI in the last year: Skifreedle (daily SkiFree game), Autodeck (auto-generated Anki cards), Endless Wiki (AI-generated wiki), VicFlora Offline (cached plant database), and smaller tools like gh-standup extension and image geolocation benchmark.
- Each project would not have been created without AI assistance due to time constraints or complexity; for example, Skifreedle's UI iteration or Autodeck's payment setup.
- The author notes that while there's no flood of AI-generated companies, there is a flood of small, weird projects enabled by low-cost AI assistance.
- The post also mentions a shout-out to Simon Willison's similar list and provides details on project adoption (e.g., 500+ users for Autodeck, 280k+ pages for Endless Wiki).
