Every experienced programmer hits this phase - the moment you see a $60/month tool and think, "I can just build that myself." But here's the trap: you'll spend weeks coding, debugging, maintaining... and end up wasting thousands of dollars' worth of your time - all to "save" $60. The Primeagen calls it the programmer's problem forgetting to discount convenience. Sometimes, it's smarter to buy time instead of rebuilding wheels. Be honest - have you ever fallen into this trap before? Follow @realbigbrainai to stay up to date with the latest Al news.

This is what I call the programmers problem, which is that every programmer that gets to a certain experience level believes they can pretty much make all products. And so when they see something charging $60 a month, they go, I can just build that. Why would I pay? Why would I pay $60 a month? I when I can build that you know what I'm gonna do? I'm gonna spend a long time building it spending effectively thousands of dollars in my time. And I'll just build my own save that $60 a month ease. I think I think there's this thing that is broken in programmers heads where they forget to discount convenience.
