Next.js, Svelte, Solid, Astro, Vue, Nuxt, Remix, Qwik and jQuery join forces to build FRAMEWERK.
Today marks a historic moment in web development. No, this isn’t another Vite plugin or a beta for something that was already released six months ago. It’s bigger. It’s bolder. It’s… consolidation.
I’m from Switzerland and the article tells the truth. Buying is crazy expensive!
And there is one thing the article is not mentioning: if you own a house, there is a fictional “rent” income on your own property, which is “income” on to of your real salary income and gets taxed… there were many approaches to get rid of the law, but it never went through.
Also, in the last years the interest rates were crazy low for loans in Switzerland. 0.6% (!!) you read right was normal. It changed recently as the Swiss national bank increased its the reference interest rate to about 2.5% - still low compared to other countries. Which means, if you have 1m in load it meant 1m0.006 =6000/year of interest rate! Today 1m0.025=25000/year
I did not something similar, but here’s my catch after reading about 3/4 of the comments as well as your reactions to it.
I think you should do it! Follow your passion!
I see all the arguments of people say “nah” but I think this career switch will bring you joy and happiness. Also, you always have the ability to go back. More likely is, that you grow into the coffee business and might end up building your own company.
Having a small espresso machine at home, I brought it to a espresso machine maintenance company. I entered the shop and I immediately felt the passion for good coffee, the craftsmanship of maintaining and fine tune coffee machines and finally make a good espresso. Pure joy to see and experience!
We are building LandHive AI, which enables you to generate websites by simply promt the system with a website title and a content briefing. See a demo: https://youtu.be/0S5rU0odTOk
My biggest challenge using the api so far was that the output is not reliable. Randomly from time to time it outputs notes and comments even tough I asked to only reply in a code block. Also if I rerun exactly the same promt, it can output something completely different (different content is fine, but I teach chatgpt to follow a structure - it works in 90% of the cases just fine). I’m using 3.5 not 4.
The api can be down regularly. This is annoying especially if you have longer conversations. I had a hard time to resume a conversation. I usually restart the whole process.
However, the overall capabilities are mind blowing. The system surprises me very often.
I feel you! Especially when working with larger more complex projects, Figma files and code tend to diverge. For me the code is the source of truth and Figma a wished future state. I’d love to have a tool, where I can “reimport” code and work out ideas in Figma and the implement and iterate. What I do often now is design ideas I’m Figma and very early on work with code while strictly thinking in components.
I recently had this issue multiple times. I’m certainly not against Contact Sales as an option, because of course there can be a special case/need which needs discussion. However, it would have saved me and the SaaS provider multiple calls just to find out where the price is. Is it less than 100$, 500$ or 5k+ a month. If I knew, that even a basic package is 5k+ it would not be a fit. If I knew, it’s less that 500$ I’d be interested to start talking as it’s in a reasonable budget. In this specific case, it was even more frustrating, as I already started to use the product through a free account with 3 credits - when I used them, I was not able to buy new credit but had to start talking to sales…
How do you deal with stuff that should be on the list, when you are not at the desk? I was using a notebook too, but I got frustrated, because my notebook was not with me all the time. My phone is…
We run our company with a forest in mind. Client projects are gardens within the forest. We have a green house for seedlings (innovation projects), we have a fire in the center, where we regularly meet and hang out. We have an outlook point, where we look out to sense what’s on the horizon… obviously, we don’t want our gardens full of weeds or trash laying around.
I had to smile while reading the post as I experienced this many times. It’s a shame. The question remains: How can this be improved? Especially critically when public money is spent on large scale multi million projects. As a citizen, I would like to see a “fair” bidding process where the “best” supplier wins.
