    I'm also developing solutions with this, and everything will depend on how you contextualize the agents so they understand how your product should work within your market vision. Generating consistent and decent code works, but you need to manually persist (for now) the operational principles and inviolable fundamentals of your program. Bugs will always appear, but the speed of implementation is impressive and, in practice, becomes cheaper than hiring an entire team of developers.

      Yes. you can't just leave it and go somewhere. Constant monitoring is required

    does this go on your phone, or do you need a smart watch, or what? did you actually do any physical testing?

      The idea is a children to install it on their parents devices and do nothing more. No smart watch, no need to the parents to frequently click anywhere. Just keep their device with them. I did it that way on purpose. To be as less intrusive as possible. The app stays there and run 24/7 and detect locations, moment of activeness and rest, sleep, and creates behavior patterns. If any of the pattern gets violated, it send a notification. I give an example: my father do a daily walk between 8AM and 10AM. If he misses that one I will receive a notification. If my mother fails on the street and she does not move for some time, I will receive a notification with the exact coordinates.

      That simple ;)

    > Is the code quality good? Honestly, I don't care. > The app shipped and looks stable — so the code is in decent shape

    not generally things you want to fuck with when making claims about health or safety.

      :) It will be really stupid from my side to just let it go, without being sure that it will work. I am a professional after all, with almost 20 years of experience. There are 2000+ tests, 50K+ lines of testing code. I tested myself, and a lot of other people tested, with different devices. Covering all cases that we can think of. This is serious project, that I really hope that it will help a lot of people, and I really invested a lot of time and effort to make it stable. I intentionally delayed the push to production with a few weeks, so that I am 99.9% sure that I covered everything.

      Of course, we are human after all, and I will highly appreciate every effort and support from others, so that we can make the product do better. :)

    Wow, you spent a crazy amount of time on something an experienced dev could hack together in a weekend without AI, and probably as little as a day with Claude Code.

    This is like an anti-ad for AI and vibe-coding.

      I doubt. Experience dev can't make 400+ files and write 2000 tests in a weekend. At least, I was never that fast and productive ;)

      With my experience, developing android apps in Java, 10-15 years ago, such project would need at least 2 developers, for 5-6 months of development and testing.
