Is Bolt.new actually a Cursor.ai and v0 killer?

I'm afraid of the future, where you have tons of rotten codebases managed by no code llm kiddies

[martinezfg]

Your videos are awesome. No fluff, no silly intros, no stock videos for the sake of having stock videos. Just stuff I can learn and apply. Never change.

maybe bolt should use bolt to add diff feature and see how it goes when reviewing.

lmao I love how straight up you are at the start 😂 the amount of new AI tools coming out every week at this point

[ItsDvil]

I knew you will do a review about it! Thank you so much!

It looks more and more to me like we won't get replaced by AI anytime soon. Especially in a field that is constantly changing and evolving it just can't keep up. These AI tools still shine the most when used as assistants that help you instead of letting them do everything. That's why copilot and cursor will be in demand where this product seems like it's trying to be more autonomous which I'm not sure will work with the current state of AI. Honestly it looks more like a cool gimmick than a real product you can use.

Thank you for testing this more in depth. I was hyped on the announcement but had my reservations.
You highlighting the obvious difference between web containers and the desktop environments cleared my doubts and I know this won't fit my use-case but can definitely serve the use-case for my mentees who are learning basics and they want to see things working before diving deeper.

This uses Claude which tends to not rewrite long segments of code so if you're not carefully you could end up clearing all the core you had initially and good luck getting that back in the same structure

I think it is still the best to use it as a tool, not for the whole process start to finish. I for example just managed to implement a whole new page and API route that uses Replicate into already existing app, using bolt and v0. Definitely speed up the process since the app was already using tailwind, shadcn, zod etc. Bolt helped me with the API route, I just pasted in the Replicate schema and docs, and then I redefined the UI using v0. Ofcourse it needed some manual work, to get it just right and how I wanted it :D

I had similar thoughts. It's good for beginners but once you to get to the potatoes, you end up running into some issues. Curious to find out what you think of Replit Agent. Been messing around with that a bit lately

[lucaschitolina]

@WebDevCody do you have any content on how to manage openai credits in my saas?

[neociber]

The AI tooling we have right now it's pretty good, if it continue to get cheaper and small when you can run locally or send millions of requests per cents I think the future will be pretty interesting.

Offtopic: lucia auth author just announced deprecation of lucia-auth package.
Are you planning to rewrite your auth using custom API (as he suggests) or switch to using smth like better-auth?

In any case - It would be great if you would share your journey, since I was planning to use lucia auth in prod and now I think I will use guides provided by it's author to roll my own auth with oslo and arctic (basically lucia).

[guacamoly]

Just curious how much money are you spending on AI tool subscriptions (not on api calls for your own saas)

[nickwoodward]

Who doesn't want to jump straight to fixing obscure errors?

[wforbes]

I tried it right after vite conf and it broke on first prompt.... started blasting code directly into the chat thread instead of the editor.
It got stuck in a loop trying to fix that first problem, wrote a few more bugs while doing that, and then I was out of the free 150k tokens.
At that rate you'd run out of the 10M tokens it gives you in the monthly free tier in about a week of fulltime work days.

A programmer desparately wanting to replace himself, fails time and time again. This is the funniest situation ever.

Cody, you can acutally just open dev tools -> right click the html tag -> and save as a screenshot. With that you get the entire site, no matter how height, as a screenshot.

The problem with generating code is usually that when things start going wrong (which they inevitably do), AI will start going in circles and desperately try different solutions and make an even bigger mess of it. Great for generating boilerplate and starter code though, saves a lot of time.
