Side point and short observation, but it's now happened to me 3 times in a week.<p>I've found that where previously i'd leaned on 3rd party APIs to do a range of tasks that previously would have been a pain to either code, hack together or just do - I just end up using an AI sidekick to help me handle the integration.<p>Obvious pitfalls: nowhere near as comprehensive or thorough as the likely service i'm trying to replicate. And no doubt this serves an initial purpose only.<p>That said, for services that were in the $100 p/mth range, i've rapidly found myself re-creating all the functionality and crucially in a much much more custom/relevant-to-my-app way that means I just don't need them anymore.<p>There's an entire swathe of service that just won't have the relevance they previously had because they can be integrated with such ease.<p>Sounds like hyperbole, but it's happening more and more often and was curious what others were doing!
