I’ve tried his photoshop clone and it really is impressive. Yes, it needs more work. Yes, there are rough edges. But for something that one (!) guy build in a few weeks while also building several other programs? Holy crap, that is awesome and also a little bit scary. That really is a usable copy of photoshop.

Are you really that impressed by a guy that ordered something else to build their idea?

Replace something with someone and you have an average company? I get that ai is bad in the long run, but screwing over big corps with their own weapons is kinda funny

And would you be impress with the worker that does the work or will you praise the CEO?

You know, Steve Jobs invented and programmed the Mac, the iPhone, did everything for the iPad himself, programmed MacOS and created iTunes by himself. Elon Musk developed several rockets, multiple cars, his own AI and is an expert in building tunnels and hyperloops - according to people on the internet.

Maybe not the best examples for the crowds around here. You might have a difficult time looking for someone who admires either of those two.

You’re not exactly helping your point here.

Haha, you might want to move that last sentence to the top. I think people are rage replying before they get to the end. (I nearly did)

Disregard the op, don’t agree with him.
In my case the worker. Then again, I live in a country with very good unions. In my company (50k+ employees) there is a lot of focus on showing what employees did and exchange programs with other companies by the creator.

Oh my God, a developer that created a Photoshop clone in a week, that would be amazing! Of course I’d credit them, but I’d also credit the CEO of a company that was doing that. I mean, how many companies are going that?
