独立开发者阿杰的第一款独立游戏在Steam上线三个月，扣除平台抽成后，他的收入仅仅只有312美元。 而在另一边，从大厂离职的陈云飞借AI之力，从构思到上线仅用一小时做出的"小猫补光灯"，冲上iOS榜单Top20，一年赚了近百万。 当AGI浪潮席卷，开发门槛被夷为平地。阿杰与陈云飞的故事，就像一枚硬币的两面，反应着AGI浪潮下真实的剖面：一边是多数独立开发者面临的生存 环境，另一边则是少数独立开发者乘上技术东风赢得机遇。 据《AI时代开发者生态白皮书》，中国开发者中有13.7% 的人以独立开发者身份活跃，一群选择独立创作路径的数字游民，渴望用代码创造价值，同时 也面临着一场关于生存、创造与归属的持久战。 谁是独立开发者？ 在过去，成为一名全栈工程师需要掌握前后端、数据库、运维等多领域的复杂知识与技能，是高门槛、高投入的职业目标。 AGI的出现，正在重塑竞争格局，为独立开发者创造了更多机会。以GPT-5、Claude Opus等为代表的先进大模型及其日趋成熟的开发工具链，以前所未有 的方式降低了"全栈开发"的技术门槛。 独立开发者通常指独立从事软件、应用、游戏或其他数字产品开发的个人或极小团队，他们不隶属于大型公 ...
