One of my favorite things about AI is that I don't have to execute the curation and criticism at the "page of monospaced text" stage to anywhere near the degree, difficulty, or criticality. I love being able to build it, try it, say "No, no I don't think I will do this, this is amazingly awful"
- apsurd 5mo agoI agree but the practical cost is most heavily paid in a collaborative work setting. Now everyone at all layers of a company is doing build prototype exploration but without the intermediary internal-filter check. Instead, these explorations get a straight line to production, for reasons I'm not exactly sure. Because it can I guess?
- jaggederest 5mo agoYeah that's where my eyebrows go to the moon. My investigations are at best in staging after a dev machine review, if nontech people are involved you need per-user cloud dev I think
- hgoel 5mo agoThat's the part that surprises me. I have only ever shared one prototype I made with AI, and only because we were presenting on how we were exploring AI use and with constant mention that it was a proof of concept prototype. I feel like putting any prototype, even if it was hand written, would be really risking my credibility if I put it into production without having it at least to the point that it wouldn't matter if it was vibe coded, via a few weeks of using the project myself.
- torben-friis 5mo agoFunnily enough, I live for the page. I would love to do my whole job with pen and paper and ignore the computer even.
- jaggederest 5mo agoI actually in a lot of ways agree with you, I could probably do my job via paper letters :) but especially for more UI-heavy work which I'm pinch hitting on it's really difficult for me to translate large features from page to reality for that kind of curation.
