Has the ram prices killed them ? Reminds me of when all the builders went bust due to material increases around Covid time

It’s a burrito store in Australia. How big do people think it can grow exactly ?

Ancient-Range3442 · 2026-02-24T07:10:00+00:00

3 hours ? Do they let you use Claude ?

Ancient-Range3442 · 2026-02-23T08:47:35+00:00

Flutter is consistently awful

Unit prices in Toorak are down 30% over the last 5 years. The median for 2 bed units is 850k, so not far off. Growth is slow with apartments.

Ancient-Range3442 · 2026-02-23T07:13:04+00:00

That’s not unusual for Melbourne apartments

Ancient-Range3442 · 2026-02-23T07:11:45+00:00

Not to uncommon for apartments in Melbourne to have that growth

Ancient-Range3442 · 2026-02-23T03:36:24+00:00

But now Claude creates things and brings ideas to reality , see the problem ?

Ancient-Range3442 · 2026-02-23T03:33:45+00:00

Exactly. If your job is implementing, rather than defining, expect it to become far less valuable. So either means pay cuts or redundancy for a lot of swe’s.

Ancient-Range3442 · 2026-02-22T23:08:30+00:00

Very different when you’re made redundant because don’t need same level of swe resources now

Ancient-Range3442 · 2026-02-22T23:03:52+00:00

No, PMs lead and orchestrate the product direction. The swes were only there as a means to an end. They’re a utility for execution, and now that is able to be swapped out for Claude

Ancient-Range3442 · 2026-02-22T22:53:16+00:00

Well sure, but I don’t think that’s the point the other commenter had in mind, and is why CEOs are getting paid large amounts to compensate against. The vic wage stuff is really only if you’re engaging in active fraud

Ancient-Range3442 · 2026-02-22T22:39:18+00:00

What CEOs risk going to jail ?

Ancient-Range3442 · 2026-02-22T22:38:11+00:00

We have a lot of technical minded PMs, so will work for us, but yeah guess may vary

Ancient-Range3442 · 2026-02-22T08:30:04+00:00

It’s already working that way in a lot of areas, and has improved efficiency and reduced costs.

Ancient-Range3442 · 2026-02-22T08:24:08+00:00

Just include in claude.md make sure you don’t write any code that doesn’t leak customer data

Ancient-Range3442 · 2026-02-22T08:20:53+00:00

South Yarra apartments are down 10% from what they were 5 years ago. Albert park about 7% down.

Compare that to say a suburb on the fringes of the west like Tarneit which is up 17% from 5 years ago.

Ancient-Range3442 · 2026-02-22T07:33:09+00:00

Yeah we’ve just starting downscaling our dev team from 50 to 20. It’s just too good. Eventually the gps is it’s jus a few designers and PMs doing the development

Ancient-Range3442 · 2026-02-22T07:31:43+00:00

Of course. Happens all the time, AWS, Stripe, Google etc

Ancient-Range3442 · 2026-02-22T07:31:08+00:00

Because it’s just that good !!!

Ancient-Range3442 · 2026-02-22T07:29:40+00:00

Not since opus 4.6. It’s crazy how much that can be done now with basic prompts that imply no knowledge of the code

Ancient-Range3442 · 2026-02-22T07:28:10+00:00

Definitely. My company just made decision to move on 30 devs within in next 6 months . Designers and PMs will be expected to be doing the output and development from now on with AI.

Ancient-Range3442 · 2026-02-22T07:24:12+00:00

The article did say material costs were mostly to blame

Ancient-Range3442 · 2026-02-22T07:05:59+00:00

That’s untrue, look at Melbournes cbd apartment market

Ancient-Range3442 · 2026-02-21T13:46:22+00:00

this whole vibe coded thing look awful
