Developer Automates Coding Assistants To Clone Software
Open-source developer Geoff Huntley recently created "Ralph," a bash loop that repeatedly feeds prompts and AI outputs into Anthropic's Claude Code to iteratively produce working software. He used it to clone commercial and open-source products, build a ZX Spectrum tax app and a new language called "Cursed," and estimates agentic coding can run at roughly US$10 per compute hour. He warns this could let startups cheaply clone SaaS features and disrupt developer roles.
Scoring Rationale
Practical, directly usable agentic coding shows clear disruption potential, limited by single-source reporting and uncertain widespread adoption.
