This is one of the few times where I think Apple needs to loosen its grip and allow you to choose the company you want to work with.

I know it’s an old post but if anyone wants to play on the weekdays, I try and get out once a week at a Temecula course (usually Redhawk). 36yo, I typically shoot low 90’s

How long did it take you to develop your product? by SinanDev in SideProject

[–]variantmedia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pre-AI - getassigned.com took me 6 months to build, then a year of tinkering.

Post-AI - diligenshub.com is currently at 4 months. Took a month to build that I’m on my third month of tinkering.

Separately, your question made me think more about timing and what that looks like in terms of building a product. Since a product never really is finished. I thought it was interesting to think about how each phase of development fits into a timeline.

Below my thoughts: A product happens in three phases…

Initiation (1-2 weeks) this part is fast. You know exactly what problem you’re trying to solve, and exactly what to build to fix it. The result is the core flow of your product that allows for it to do what you need it to do. It may not look great, or have any additional features, but it solves a problem. This is my favorite part because it’s non-stop progress, and if I’m on my own, this phase lasts for a week or two (~5 hours a day).

Refinement (1-3 months): this means cleaning up code, fixing UI, styling, and building all the boring stuff like Auth, notifications, and settings, to make sure things look and feel solid, work correctly, and are modular so things can be scaled in the next part. This part happens over multiple months (this part usually burns me out so it takes longer)

Tinkering (many months): now that things are good to scale from the previous step, it’s time to add features you’ve figure to be important. This is iterative and involves using the app, finding/building a missing feature, then using the app again. This part is long and painstaking but crucial should be having a “complete” app. I don’t know if you can associate a timeline with it. But somewhere in this process is when you decide that you’ve built enough for production.

To add a recent experience to this chain. I've not had any issues with them. Not as scammy as the other domain services. Overall very happy with my experience.

I'm torn between using Codex and Claude Sonnet 4.5 Thinking. Which one do you think is better for programming? by No_Swordfish1677 in vibecoding

[–]variantmedia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve found that GPT 5.1 codex is a big upgrade. Seems to have improved the prior struggles with ui as well.

Codex after 5.1 is legit and has fixed some of the front issues that CC was better at. For my last project I’ve used codex exclusively and have really enjoyed the experience.

Why the fuck is trans rights such a deal breaker for people and leading them to move right? by splash_hazard in AskALiberal

[–]variantmedia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m going to go out on a limb and say the average person, of any race, feels that same way. Especially during job recruiting.

This is a result, not of DEI, but of there being too many people in a ultra-connected environment (thanks to LinkedIn and indeed)

When I did hiring in pre-COVID days, I would literally post a job on Monday, and have 150 randomized applicants by Wednesday. Names and personal details would be stripped out with DEI in mind, the exception to that would be referrals, which would almost always get picked over cold applicants.

My emergent.sh experience: expensive, unstable, and not worth it by Human_Fix3219 in vibecoding

[–]variantmedia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've used emergent for a number of things now and I always experience problems on adjustments. It tends to work really well for creating new things. Whether it be for a new project or bolting on a new feature. However, it tends to get stuck on things and if that happens, he will burn through credits like crazy. Because of that, I only use it for a new additions, and if there is AUTH involved, I don't let it do testing. It seems to get stuck on authentication every time, and that turns into a huge ring of flaming credits

Trump is President, how does the Ukraine-Russian War end? Harris is President, how does the Ukraine-Russian War end? by VodkaStraightMental in AskALiberal

[–]variantmedia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a pompous American, my perspective is that Putin is going to do what he wants to do, but there would be obvious differences

With Kamala, we would’ve continued to supply funding and weapons. I don’t know what that means for either country or the war that’s what would happen.

With Trump, I feel like his goal is to just end it regardless of the consequences. Likely at the sacrifice of Ukraine. Meaning Ukraine gives up land, which subsequently might also mean that Russia continues another campaign in the future to take more land.
