By 2026, contractors specialized in solving problems with all the mess vibe coding is causing will be in high demand.

Opportunity?

Claude took my intention and sent it to Hawaii, and I wanted to reach Phuket.

I build small app that should handle sharing of encrypted content, that needs to be decrypted on the other side. So I leaned on Claude's expertize ("pretend to be a security expert dev...").

Did not work well.

first weekend with zero alcohol after a while.

Ok I got it! All GenAI sucks and we have given it much more minutes than it deserves.

Code generation: it's ok for landing pages and simple apps. Anything more complex is a joke.
Writing: all same, without a soul and voice.
Photos: we've passed the 4 fingers phase but it's still cringe.

*sigh*

apologies. removed.

Social media interactions, when written by humans, too!

We went from complete manual labor in coding, to being 100% frustrated why AI doesn't understand our intentions quite fast.

Illustration of my attempt of trying to replace ChatGPT with Claude.

Green Day - American Idiot on repeat today.

If using ChatGPT as coding companion feels like pairing with a junior developer, using Claude 3.7 feels like working with the smart-ass developer in 2007 that has read 3 PDF books the night before and wants to show you ALL they've learnt. So much overhead.

I always have found Tesla to be an overrated and hyped EV that anyone should 3x reconsider buying it. Cheap in the inside, fancy with gadgets and software and smooth on the outside.

Bluesky is so NOT toxic that it feels weird.

More mind your own business, less cancel culture.

I'VE BEEN DECEIVED!! 🤯

So it looks like OpenAI sold the ai.com domain to DeekSeek. Before I used it as a shortcut to ChatGPT, now it's Deepseek.

Haven't reached that step yet but the promise is 'yes'.

I made a crazy decision to travel Berlin - Vienna by train today. I am on my second train (connection) and one more to catch in Salzburg.

The train is comfy but the stress of chasing one train after another has a price and the price is an airplane ticket worth.

Haven't tried Bolt but v0 is slightly different purpose (UI/Visual representation). A problem with Lovable is that the threshold between the free and paid plan is too low so I couldn't experiment with anything complex. I tried it with a simple landing page, so next I will try an actual project.

I just tried lovable.dev.

I will go cry now in a pillow from how good it is.

I am 4 episodes in Severance 2nd season, and it feels boring as shit. Does it get any better later?

Hey yo, what do you use to create high quality screenshots out your webapps? (for usecases like landing page or so)

Software development is not only about who writes the code. It's about configuration, ownership, maintenance, incidents resolving, communication, follow-ups and all other small tasks that require nonbinary thinking.

Still a way to go.

And I agree to some extent that tech will change, teams will be more performant with less people, but the human factor is still far to be replaced.

Replacing it would mean that a person with, or close to zero tech knowledge is able to do everything an intermediate level developer can (from 0 to 1).

First they mongered the fear that designers, photographers and creative artists will be replaced. This is only true if you're after mediocre results.

Now they monger the fear that we are screwed, we are to be replaced tomorrow as software developers.

What is the frontend Lovable/Bolt ?

This! 💯

People talking about him in cringe-worthy fluttering and compliments made him feel he has the right to behave as such.

The world is tid-bit confused now.

Was the answer correct?

Thanks! I use simply Tailwind.
