This might hurt the ones like vercel etc... or even smaller hosting services like tiiny etc...

I don't get the spammer thing? You'll still need to verify your identity, as the whole thing uses stripe? So I don't get all the hate...

I prefer to delegate as much as possible to AI services once I have a mature process that is easy to validate. Buying a domain name feels pretty mature to me etc, so I don't get where all the hate is coming from?

(Maybe I'm way to deep in the whole AI/Jack Dorsey/Block model?)

A series of tokens is one-dimensional (a sequence). An image is 2-dimensional. What about 3D/4D/... representation (until we end up with an LLM-dimensional solution ofc).

It depends... I've worked with hundreds of juniors & seniors during my consulting days.

I've had ups and downs in this situation, but on most cases it's about showing the light to a path forward.

In most cases, the software development was straightforward, and most of the coaching was about a how to behave in the organisation they were functioning in.

One can only have so many architecture/code quality reviews, typically we evacuated the seniority of the devs on their ability to cope with people (colleagues, bosses, clients, ...)

We did have a few very bright technical people as well, but those were about 10 on a 2000-person company.

The reason I explicitly mentioned the slightly autistic junior person, is because I've worked with one, who was about to be fired, because other people had issues dealing with him.

So I moved desks, sat next to him for over a month, and he ended up becoming the champion for one of the projects we were doing, because he was very bright, precise and had a huge memory, which mattered a lot in that context.

Other stories are similar, once they were about to throw out a colleague because he was taking days to do something that should have taken a few hours max. So I say next to him, to see what he was doing.

Turned out he was refactoring all the code his feature touched because he couldn't stand bad code. So we moved him to quality control, and last time I checked he was thriving...

I guess what I'm saying is that -just like with people -, you need to find a good modus operandi, and have matching expectations, but if you can figure it out, it will pay off dividends.

Whenever I'm rate limited (pro max plan), I stop developing.

For anything but the smallest things I use claude code...

And even then...

For the bigger things, I ask it to propose to me a solution (when adding new features).

It helps when you give proper guidance: do this, use that, avoid X, be concise, ask to refactor when needed.

All in all, it's like a slightly autistic junior dev, so you need to be really explicit, but once it knows what to do, it's incredible.

That being said, whenever you're stuck on an issue, or it keeps going in circles, I tend to rollback, ask for a proper analysis based on the requirements, and fill in the details of necessary.

For the non-standard things (f.e. detect windows on a photo and determine the measurement in centimetres), you still have to provide a lot of guidance. However, once I told it to use xyz and ABC it just goes. I've never written more then a few lines of PHP in my life, but have a full API server with an A100 running, thanks to Claude.

The accumulated hours saved are huge for me, especially front-end development, refactoring, or implementing new features to see if they make sense.

For me it's a big shift in my approach to work, and I'd be really sad if I have to go back to the pre-AI area.

Truth to be told, I was a happy user of cline & Gemini and spent hundreds of dollars on API calls per month. But it never gave me the feeling Claude code gave me, the reliability for this thing is saving me 80% of my time.

I got tired of editing videos, so I wrote a tiny web app that allows me to record uniform ready-to-publish videos for my SaaS in real-time, so creating & publishing a 5-min video only takes me about 15 minutes.

The videos look like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rdeir2-bVA

Creating a video is simple:

- think about the subject (usually during the week)

- 5 min: copy an existing video script and edit it to match the current subject

- 5 min: record the video with OBS capturing the web output

- 5 min: publish it on FB/LI/youtube/...

It uses a simple scripting language with actions that I can trigger by pressing a button. The script has custom commands that allow you to mount HTML/overlay the webcam video/show the webcam video as a thumbnail/play music/... And you can compose commands into other commands.

Here's an example script I used for the video mentioned in the beginning:

    const script:Record<string,string[]> = {
        Intro: [
            `/name empty screen with overlays
    /remove *
    /volume 0`,
            `/name empty screen without overlays
    /remove *
    /volume 0
    /append div.hide-overlay`,
            `/subs

    `,
            `/intro

    # Quickly qualify leads

        ],

        Main: [`/remove *
    /append img#bg.fullscreen[src="prices.png"]
    /select #bg
    /animate fade-in 3s both
    `,

        ],
        Outro: [
            `/site https://**OBFUSCATED**/r/vsl/vsl/en/designer/index/ts-alu`,
            `/remove *
    /caption Tom Janssens / Owner
    /wait 5s
    /cfg https://**OBFUSCATED**/r/vsl/vsl/nl/designer/index/solar-de
        `,
            `/remove *
    /outro
    ![](vsl-TV-transparent.png)
    # https://virtualsaleslab.com
    ### [email protected]`]
    };

    export default script;

Update: Obfuscated some urls in the example script, as they are pointing to my test environment ;)

Isn't this strongly related to monads?
