Eating Our Own Dog Food
Published: 2023-09-21 08:15:30

‍There are many ways to validate your product and to get feedback. At Fine, we're not only changing the game in software development, but we're also making sure that we are on the right path by "eating our own dog food."

"Eating your own dog food" is a popular phrase in the tech industry. It means using your own product or service in your daily operations. It's a testament to your belief in your product's capabilities and its ability to solve real-world problems. At Fine, we wholeheartedly embrace this philosophy.

## How Fine uses Fine: Building the Future of Software Development

Fine is on a mission to accelerate software development to the maximum. With a vision to replace the traditional IDEs, we're pioneering a new era in software creation. But how do we prove that our platform is not just a concept, but a practical solution for developers and businesses? We do it by using Fine to build Fine. We don't just talk the talk, we walk it.

Fine is not just a product; it's the operating system for Software 3.0. We firmly believe that Fine is the way we will build software in the future, and we're proving it every day by using it to build itself. From managing tasks to streamlining features, Fine has become an integral part of our development process.

### Here are the benefits we get from using Fine internally

- **Accelerated Development:** Fine enables us to build, iterate, and release new features faster than ever before. Even our community members [are surprised](https://discord.com/channels/1079797105318703144/1080157468476309525/1152355717123166298) at how fast we are moving:

- **Quality Assurance:** Our AI agents ensure that code quality remains top-notch, reducing bugs and enhancing reliability.
- **Team Collaboration:** Fine fosters collaboration among our developers, creating a seamless workflow. We also have a better understanding of what other devs in Fine decided to build, since we have the specifications they wrote for each task.
- **Continuous Improvement:** By using Fine internally, we gain firsthand insights into its strengths and areas for improvement, allowing us to refine the platform continuously.


What I like the most about these benefits is that they directly relate to the features that separate us from the competition:

**First, let’s look at our core promise.** While coding assistants like GitHub Copilot have revolutionized coding, they primarily focus on the next few lines of code. Fine, on the other hand, takes a giant leap forward by providing developers with AI agents capable of handling complete software tasks. Each agent is an expert in its field, and when combined with a codebase, they run with extreme accuracy, significantly boosting productivity. 

**We get to verify that every day. We are a small team, but we move fast because we have virtual teammates that help us with all kinds of features.**

**Second, let’s consider Fine’s uniqueness:** Unlike many competitors that target individual contributors (ICs), Fine is designed with businesses and teams in mind. We prioritize teamwork, privacy, and the creation of multi-agents. Fine isn't just a tool for solo developers; it's a platform that empowers entire teams to work smarter and faster.

**We are building Fine as a team, and so we immediately see what helps us and what slows us down. By tasting our own medicine we truly get to assess the quality of our product.**
