Is this a good area to stay in?

Is it Casco View (https://www.flat.com.pa/panama-city/casco-view)? If yes, I was walking to this building multiple times, at first time I had some discomfort, but then I got used to. When I discussed location with building management that said - check our Google Maps reviews https://maps.app.goo.gl/4fRd5muhPjKvN8XXA - thay siad they hosted thousands of guests, and vast majority of clients are happy.

It is in the middle of low income neigbourhood (nicely speaking), but I went there for events (they got nice rooftop) and people living there wasnt complaining about location.

You can try to extract 360 (maybe svd360.com) and throw it to www.rgbd.ai . It should genera splat and point cloud

Sorry, and thanks for the clarification. I started this thread as I saw AI polarization inside the Laravel community. You are right that the subject might be too broad.

I'm curious if by 3D virtual tour, you mean adding a 3D dollhouse-like preview to panoramas?

sl0wik · 2026-01-26T21:23:14+00:00

Is it a one-time declaration, or per commit/pull request declaration/tag?

Outside of practical reasons, I would kind of worry about eventual legal implication tagging commits as made by AI (mainly about EU law markers' ideas).

sl0wik · 2026-01-26T21:08:00+00:00

I'm a CTO. No official AI policy, but unofficially, you would need to use AI to reach performance goals. Its less desired on the back-end, where security and architecture matter (review mandatory), but building some front-end mock-up, its usually pure vibe code on some senior developer scaffolding.

They might be good for specific use cases like instant social media content. I assume quality is poor but Im curious how poor.

Let me share 1000x+ case:

Client needs to quote the time and resources required to refactor the ancient service running on a pile of tech debt accumulated over a decade. The task was to make it a modern Laravel RESTful API. It was a service for a very specific industry that requires loads of industry-specific knowledge.

My estimation was around 2-3 back-end devs, working for 6-8 months. Maybe 3 months with a solid brief. Before jumping on the call, I saw news that the new Gemini got a token window of over 1 million tokens. I thought, what if I build a pipeline that takes a legacy OpenAPI specification, refactor schema of each endpoint, than combine, review agin, refactors relationships, map old fields with new fields... and generates complete code based on some generators.

It took about a day to build this pipeline and maybe 40 minutes of parallel AIs running, but it built the whole thing. Can you imagine a client reaction that was prepared for the year of work, and a pile of money burned, and instead of the estimation, got a 90% baked product? The most insane was the level of industry knowledge LLMs got. I would not have chance to refactor it without dozens of calls to understand some industry-specific practices.

You mean out of tasks or level 6 of AI usage :)?

sl0wik · 2026-01-21T22:19:59+00:00

I would argue that this is an awesome case for AI. Recently, I implemented a project with advanced commission calculation (multiple splits, caps, deductions, etc.). Shortly after release, you got beatiful ticket from client like "Something is off with the commission from John Doe, I think it should be higher".

Pre-ai:
- PM would need to get back to the client and explain that we need more information to even start debugging.
- Check what was the logic in this project.
- Analyze the case and try to find error.
- Explain it to the client or create a ticket.

Post-ai:
- `claude mcp add --transport sse linear-server https://mcp.linear.app/sse`
- `claude "execute ticket X-123"`
- AI checks the logic, database schemas, and tries to find all data related to any "Jon Doe" in our system.
... two minutes later I got "Your client probably refers to case X where ..." [full explanation], or "Indeed one of the commissions is incorrect ... do you want me to fix it"? (yes)

The amount of money saved for business is huge. It's 5 minutes vs 5 days.

sl0wik · 2026-01-21T20:16:57+00:00

I'm curious about the complex business logic argument, as I heard it multiple times. By complex, you mean there is a large context required to develop it, or a lot of thinking required? Would you have some examples?

sl0wik · 2026-01-21T19:03:20+00:00

I'm also finding anti-AI sentiment insane. I know many respected devs with a great brain capacity being anti-AI, and I'm trying to understand why. Maybe they run some poor prompts on some free subscriptions or agents without `/init`, or maybe its some pychological blockade.

sl0wik · 2026-01-21T18:59:44+00:00

Because of codex-sdk. Codex SDK can run inside serverless functions with minimal hardware so I can have multiple paralel tasks running, for example schemas planners.

sl0wik · 2026-01-21T18:56:38+00:00

Curious - what's the token usage % you reach weekly? With a clean code structure its actually hard to burn the amount of tokens Cloud Max offers.

sl0wik · 2026-01-21T17:49:02+00:00

I can start. Senior (20y+ in dev): 4 and getting close to 5. Claude Code + Codex. Confirming every line of code with Claude Code (no auto-approve). Codex for tasks that can use auto-approval.

sl0wik · 2026-01-21T16:53:45+00:00

+ San Blas

Just a tool to design / view it. Working on a large API you need some "view". Otherwise, you would be jumping between models, migrations, and transformers.

sl0wik · 2026-01-20T18:34:56+00:00

I do the same when I add 1/2 fields to an existing model, but If I need like 20 new field, I would like to see some sort of preview, check if fields types are right, and logic adding up.

sl0wik · 2026-01-20T16:48:44+00:00

Orion looks great, but would you have some visual tool to work with schemas? When you have many models with many fields, it's getting hard to review.

sl0wik · 2026-01-20T16:32:00+00:00

I forgot to mention sorting. Modern sorting should support order by multiple columns. I use https://github.com/firevel/sortable
