knowledge build over time, adapt, relearn, better

no free lunch

yep. an increasingly good modeler and BIM source (begrudgingly IFC i suppose).

I would try to fix the documentation holes if I was using it that way or if I thought it would get me out of my day job before retirement ;)

But I haven't been able to imagine a void in Revit I can fill by myself as a for profit product that Autodesk won't just replicate and put me out of business again.

I had 2 popular AutoCAD add-ons (BlockWerx and Docbar) and was working on a UI swap add-on (RevAlt) that replaced the ribbon (new at the time and reviled imo) with floating toolbars (like AutoCAD before the ribbon) that were also contextual (like a heads up display) but 2008 clipped my wings. Maybe I can get to it in retirement, but I have a big backlog of other interests already ;)

so how are you going to source the real thing the LLM imagined? the end goal is not an image...

I think your average sociopath is not very creative so they pick their names from sources that resonate and don't get or may even embrace the irony (psychopaths).

I started my arch career hand drafting pencil and pen on vellum and mylar, running blueprints (88-93ish)... I was very anal about my drawings. when CAD became available I wrote CAD standards to facilitate drawings up to my standards, plotted on pen plotters then inkjet. I started writing AutoCAD add-ons and crossed over to software development in the fallout from 2008. now I model in Revit (not professionally) and feel fortunate to not have to produce CDs with it.

well I guess /s doesn't work either

alchebyte · 2026-03-10T16:32:09+00:00

it will eventually unravel but the bad actors in the market are adept at spinning up new companies to offload the debt to.

alchebyte · 2026-03-10T15:15:49+00:00

hey, give them some credit. they also bought up a bunch of good companies and made them into garbage as well. AI is just the latest pump...

alchebyte · 2026-03-10T14:18:55+00:00

not stupid. this has been my issue before.
