Indeed. Maybe it's just a function of passed time, but it feels like people surrounded by hustlers - including themselves - look at this and think "what's the hustle behind this?" because they can't imagine anyone doing this for any other reason. I get it, but it's quite sad.
It's a function of the economy going in the shitter, with food and housing prices tripling or quadrupling while wages go up 5 or 10%. People want to be paid for their work because they can't afford to pay rent giving gifts away, and hustling is the way to survive because there aren't enough jobs or even if they have a job it's not enough.
Visual Basic scratched this itch for anyone who was willing to spend roughly the time learning it as, say, becoming basically proficient at Excel. But the ship appears to have sailed for that kind of RAD development.
Kiro is such a disaster. It starts well with all the planning, but I haven't been able to control it. It changes files on a whim and changes opinion from paragraph to paragraph.
Also it uses the Claude models but afaik it is constantly changing which one is using depending on the perceived difficulty.

Claude Code does the same. You can disable it in Kiro by specifically setting the model to what you want rather than “auto” using /model.
Tbh I’ve found Kiro to be much better than Claude Code. The actual quality of results seems about the same, but I’ve had multiple instances where Claude Code get stuck because of errors making tool calls whereas Kiro just works. Personally I also just prefer the simplicity of Kiro’s UX over CC’s relative “flashy” TUI.
"Not controlled by ideology" is a pretty bold statement to make about a self-declared Communist single-party country. There is always an ideology. You just happen to agree with whatever this one is (Controlled-market Communism? I don't know what the precise term is).
I cannot edit this now so I want to add some clarification, it just means on this specific topic: electricity, china dont act like us or german, abandoned wind or nuclear, its only based on science
Asking from ignorance - are schemas not enough to replicate this most of the way? What are the extra nice to haves that would bring PG on par with Oracle here?
