На первый взгляд AI-native звучит как очередной красивый ярлык для компаний, где всем выдали ChatGPT, Claude Code, Cursor и пару внутренних ботов. Но если смотреть не на инструменты, а на то, как реально работает компания, картина становится интереснее.Оказывается, значительная часть нашей работы — это не создание продукта и даже не принятие решений.

В современных реалиях, когда интернет всё чаще напоминает минное поле сблокировками и замедлениями, надежда на зарубежные (да и на некоторыелокальные) сервисы тает с каждым днем. В какой-то момент я пришел к выводу:если хочешь, чтобы инструмент работал стабильно и не зависел от настроенияпровайдеров или геополитики — напиши его сам. Так появился, например, Fury Messenger (о котором я уже писал здесь) — мессенджер дляAndroid, заточенный под нестабильное соединение. Но решив проблему текстовогообщения,... Read more ›
