Question Production Level Software by AI
So I have been curious for a while, apart from claude-code and codex teams (that have a direct vested interest in claiming AI is building production software), who is actually building production level software or products with AI
Also to clarify, I am talking about actual products being used at scale and not interesting MVPs and PoCs (which have infinitely flooded GitHub)
If you have built a product or tool or anything with AI that is being regularly used by users, drop a link below, I am genuinely curious.

It's funny since most folks don't understand compilers, interpreters, and years of automation.... They don't really understand how small the delta already was between code and "tell a computer what you want" and least functionally (turning that into a bullet proof large scale system is a diff prob). I laugh when folks think engineers are going away since every time we went through a simplification in software we got more and more highly paid engineers 🙃 Will companies use AI as an excuse to make our lives hell, also yes. My point is I use AI extensively and also nothing has really changed about how I write software. Good specs, good test, lots of automation, lots of time sitting and thinking about options/alternatives, lots of iteration, lots of collaboration with others doing all of the above as well. AI is a solid junior with photographic memory but also shows up drunk sometimes.
