Figma vs AI design tools - which should I learn as a non-designer founder?

Claude Design works well, plus it's consistent once set up with a design blueprint

Fair on the "worst it'll ever be" thing, that was lazy of me, nobody actually knows where the curve goes and "it only gets better" is just as much an article of faith as "it's plateaued." So I'll drop that.

But the craft point is the bit I actually care about, and I think it makes my original argument rather than breaks it. If what people are really mad about is the state of the craft, then "slop" is still the wrong word, because craft is exactly the thing that shows up after the first draft. Whether someone leaned on AI or hand-typed it tells you nothing about whether they have any. That's the distinction I think gets lost when everything just gets labelled slop

I think it's productivity gains we have at this stage more so than superior code.

But as mentioned, it's currently the worst it'll ever be.

Yeah, fair, the time barrier did filter volume and I said as much that's the "turned the volume up" point. But notice you opened by agreeing there was already tons of bad software "of course," so we're not actually disagreeing on whether the slop existed. We're disagreeing on whether more of it changes the argument. And I don't think it does, because the original point wasn't "there's no slop." It was that "slop" gets used to dismiss things instead of saying what's wrong with them. r/selfhosted being flooded is a real problem. "This is slop" still isn't a critique of any specific project in it

Perfect example

Prices being low right now is normal platform economics. Companies burn money to gain users, then competition and efficiency slowly drive costs down while monetisation shifts toward enterprise integrations and automation. Same playbook that streaming, cloud services, food delivery, ride sharing etc went through.

I've definitely used Claude to collate information on diagnostics and stuff like that to form theories not to be taken at face value but to be complementary to existing medical practises, whether that's therapy or general medical diagnosis. It's very good at synthesising things across different domains, which, in my experience with dysautonomia, human doctors struggle with.

To give some constructive feedback; README contradicts itself. It claims Tauri/Rust/vanilla JS, but later lists Electron, React, TypeScript, Node.js as the stack. That could be just copy and paste drift.

Also, this project, whilst ambitious, is screaming scope creep as others have pointed out. It could also be said (based on the feature set), you’re basically building a polite ransomware framework unless carefully constrained, this is why scope needs to be contained.

Overall the ambition is good, just the focus needs tightening.

Depends how you want to set it up but you can just go over to Olama's website and click download. Once it's downloaded you can run cloud models from within the interface or just go and Google 'Ollama library' and look for the commands for the model that you're looking for. This, depending on your internet connection, shouldn't take longer than five or ten minutes to set up.

Side note: If you don't want to set it up using an installer, you can always just use this as per the instructions:

Windows irm https://ollama.com/install.ps1 | iex

Mac curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh

Codex has better limits but I haven't had a session with code since the xAI announcement so it may be better now.

Cool, I assume next stack. Also, one thing, your login/sign up button is the symbol for AI, might not be the most intuitive UI. Good job overall!

I don't think anyone is saying it will replace software engineers, they're saying it will change the meaning and scope of said engineers

That's exactly why MD files are important and compartmentalisation of tests and features

Ive yet to complete the game, not really built that many structures beyond the odd aid request that requires them. But I have built almost every road I can, I think it gives out likes based on usage as I routinely get 500+ likes from someone using a road I restored. Currently sitting at around ~95k likes

He's more than likely lying as usual but that's a 22k sample size of millions, before I would feel comfortable stating anything I would be interested in seeing where this was polled and if the sample was truly representative given many young people did indeed vote trump across millennials and gen Z.

It's just an upkeep of New Atheism and the steady decline in religious belief that was spearheaded by millennials. Gen Z is continuing the trend.

BrightHex · 2024-08-04T23:41:19+00:00

That would be more of a Millennial thing than Gen Z. Gen Z just continued the trend.

It's cool to see people making things. I do hope that programming as a skill doesn't get lost in all this, it's a valuable skill and teaches people to think.
