After heavy Jev testing, dev says big labs lost the script: 'We're building prod, not God'

A developer who pushed "a ton of tokens" through TypeSafe's new product Jev shares a pointed review: the big labs have lost the script. TypeSafe's intro line — "We're building prod, not God" — resonates because they build tools that let engineers ship products for regular people, rather than chasing grand AGI narratives. His proof: when ChatGPT shipped, people marveled at ChatGPT; when Jev shipped, people marveled at what everyone else was building with it. He calls out Anthropic in particular for lacking the humility that a technology's creator won't be its best deployer.
