Got my first EV a month ago and love it!!
I’m in South Africa and we have great weather and I have solar panels, so most of my charging costs nothing (ignoring solar capex which pays itself back in 5 years). And saving money on home electricity as well. 😘
But what took ages to do in photoshop/figma, then explain to a dev, she can now do herself directly.
Which was my point. With her design skills and Claude Code she can be orders of magnitude more productive.
Different strokes for different folks (and use cases). 😉
I hear you. My wife is a brilliant front end designer. She is “vibe coding” like crazy and producing an incredible amount of product.
She guides Claude in the design explains what she wants and it’s brilliant and not AI obvious (because it’s hers).
So I find the anti AI, or even the “it all looks the same” argument pointless. Or that “it writes bad code”.
Sometimes that matters. Often it doesn’t. 🤷♂️
Thing about software is there are nearly unlimited use cases, and different skills of those building software (design, front end, back end etc).
For many use cases, it doesn’t matter that the front end is not unique. Speed of dev is more important for all kinds of reasons (like competition).
It shouldn’t be 40 people let alone 40%.
Super excited to finally have this in people's hands, let us know what you think!
Inertia 3 beta is here! 🚀
This is a big one. New Vite plugin, optimistic updates, standalone HTTP requests, layout props, simplified SSR, and Axios has been replaced with a built-in XHR client.
Here's what's new 🧵
100% it did. A friend of mine got one in 1982 when I was 13. I’m writing this as I watch Claude Code work. I’m still doing what the ZX81 started 43 years ago. 🤷♂️
1090% agree. I have been creating software since 1982. I thought I loved writing code. Turns out what I really love is creating useful software and that’s just become orders of magnitude easier and faster. I’m loving it!!😍
Absolutely always plugging in USB-A the right way first time also qualifies.
Then you’re suggesting banning capitalism, because the pursuit of profit is the motivation behind these technological innovations. And on that we agree.
Didn’t happen then, not going to happen now though. We’ve been effectively indoctrinated into believing it’s the only way. 🤷♂️
Zero posts bot, but I'll bite for interest.
So we would be better of having permanently banned the motor vehicle? Maybe, but irrelevant since that was never going to happen given the utility. AI is exactly the same. QED.
I had everything to an AI agent - havent written a line of code in months. But I hear you, that was a nightmare before and AI is brilliant at it.
The word "values" stood out for me. Maybe Max preferred to work for a company who is not prepared to have their technology used in the war machione. 🤷♂️
The anti AI stance feels like when the Benz Patent-Motorwagen appeared in the 1880s.
It was not immediately celebrated as the dawn of a new era. It was often treated as a curiosity, a nuisance, or even a danger.
The genie is out of the bottle and we couldn’t put it back if we wanted to. 🤷♂️
Ah! Got it. My bad. 🤷♂️🤦♂️
I thought one of the hills conservatives are prepared to die on is that they don’t have to obey government tyranny?
I thought that was what the unlimited musket allocation was for? 🤷♂️🤔
Incredible how much models have advanved in a short space of time. Just look at Sonnet 4/Opus 4.1 to Sonnet/Opus 4.6.
The rate of improvement is incredible. Claude Code is one year old. The future is going to be so very differen. ;)
I thought I would miss it. I don't. I love how fast I can go from idea to PoC in the AI age!
A screenshot from https://www.guidelabs.ai/post/steerling-8b-base-model-release/ showing a prompt: “Rising ocean temperatures driven by increased atmospheric CO2 have disrupted marine ecosystems, causing coral bleaching events and shifting the migration patterns of” An output: “fish species. This has led to a decline in fish populations and the degradation of marine habitats. Additionally, ocean acidification due to the absorption of CO2 is affecting shell-forming organisms such as mollusks and corals, impacting their ability to build and maintain skeletal structures. This could lead to significant consequences for fisheries and coastal communities that rely on these resources” And then a section called “training data attribution”. It attributed 26% to arXiv, 25% to Wikipedia, 17% to Nemotron (syn), 16% to Nemotron (real), 10% to PES2O, and 6% to FLAN.

This is extremely cool. Guide Labs have trained an LLM that can tell you what part of the prompt was most relevant to each part of the output, what concepts it ties to each part of the output, and what part of its training data influenced the output.
I haven't gotten tired of it in 44 years of doing it.
But I've realised that what we do is build useful software that solves problems, not write code - that's was just a necessary part of the process.
Think like an architect, not like a builder.
I just released v3.7.0 of my Cross Eloquent Search package! In addition to some fixes, it also comes with:
✅ Support for Laravel 13
✅ Support for PostgreSQL and SQLite
✅ Added exactMatch() and tap() methods
Enjoy! 🔎
I wrote some ZX Spectrum Assembley back in the day. We did it from a single small chapter in the manual. We felt like absolute pioneers discovering new lands.
Don't threaten us with a good time. ;)
I built a mobile PWA for our neighborhood watch patrols in a few hours. Fully featured.
What I did in maybe 4-5 hours would have taken 4-5 weeks before, and probably longer.
I’m loving it.
I’ve been developing since the 80s, and it turns out I don’t love writing code, I love building useful software.
Now I can do that orders of magnitude faster.
I try new ones as they come out and retest Codex and other tools from time to time, but for the last year Claude Code keeps bubbling up to the top and remains my tool of choice.
Increasingly Claude.ai also provides better results than chatgpt.com for me.
I hear this nonsense all the time.
Stop. Drinking. The. Kool. Aid. ;)
Yup, he's wrong alright. ;)
