You can take a look at GoodSender. They're new, but they promise 100k emails per month for free, plus $1 for each additional 100k. However, they require the customers on your list to explicitly give consent, or you must send templated transactional emails.

Idea is great, however I probably have trust issues :)

As a tech person, I would probably create encrypted file on my family cloud drive with instructions, to be sure that I own the data and I know what happened there. On another hand, it requires some efforts (and also instructions for the family how it can be decrypted - the hardest part :D )

AI has non-deterministic output. It can give different results for the same prompt, so for different prompts it can definitely produce artefacts with the different quality.

I think you just need to tune your prompt for script or ask Claude to fix it.

I guess the author never tried to write big FE application in jQuery :D It definitely required some skill.

My humble opinion: “deskilling” is an illusion. Sure, I don’t write code by hand anymore, but I spend most of my time using the knowledge and “sixth sense” I’ve developed throughout my career to control what AI is doing.

At the end of the day, I have to make more architectural and business decisions than before - it’s just higher-level and more complex work.

On the other hand, there’s increasingly little reason to hire someone just to write APIs or work on the frontend, since AI handles most of the routine tasks.

So, this feels much more like the Industrial Revolution than “deskilling.”

I saw quite some systems that were supposed to be rebuilt from the first days of development (sometimes there were called MVPs or PoCs)

It never happened :D

Not sure what problem it is trying to solve. Do everything in one place without going to Github/GitLab? It is hardly the biggest issue I have with code reviews

ChatGPT/Claude/Perplexity are partially replacing search engines now - and this is the reality. However, like with search engines and their output, I think the most important skill is do not trust them blindly.

And programming... Well, I think it is a fun way to make your brain exercise, seems like a good reason to teach it to kids. Also, it helps understand how most of things are working internally nowadays.
