Summary

The creator argues that AI can write what you need in one or a few files without frameworks, because frameworks exist for human developers. He quotes photoai.com, a 40,870-line index.php that earns $105K/month in revenue and $80K/month in profit.

Key points

• Claim: AI-generated code may not need frameworks, since those are abstractions for humans.
• The AI has learned from all libraries, so it could write the features you need without adding dependencies.
• Example: photoai.com is one 40,870-line index.php file earning $105K/month revenue and $80K/month profit.
• This is an opinion on trends, not a proven practice.
