Everyone has their own way of measuring quality. Mine is that a Billy bookcase that I bought from Ikea 25 years ago is must stronger and more stable than a Billy bookcase I bought from Ikea 5 years ago. And, when looking at what Ikea is sel

Apologies, it was a typo. I asked what 'Admin Template' because there are so many, and rather than build something from scratch, I wanted one it seemed to have understanding of. It mentioned AdminKit and it worked out pretty well.

How do you measure 20x when someone says they do that? Does that mean you deliver the same amount of code in the same time with 20x less bugs? Or the same quality code in 20x less time? Or 10x less bugs in 2x less time?

I mean from a time perspective, your mileage may vary. So me finishing a carded up block of work that is expected to take 2 weeks (80 hours) and I get it done in 1 day (8 hours) then that would be a 10x boost. There are always tar pits of t

I probably am a fool :) 10x to 20x is in relation to time, so something that would have taken 2 weeks (80 hours) would be done in 8 hours to be 10x.

That's right for this part of the work. Most of the coding needed to give people CRUD interfaces to resources is all about copy / pasting and integrating tools together. Sort of like the old days when we were patching all those co

I've had a lot of issues with Claude and web development. I ended up asking it how it wanted to work and would an 'AdminKit Template' work to get things moving. It recommended AdminKit and that was a good move. For me, custom

I wish I could. Some problems are difficult to solve and I still need to pay the bills. So I work 8 hours a day (to get money to eat) and code another 4 hours at home at night. Weekends are both 10 hour days, and then rinse / repeat.

Possibly, but not really. With most projects where innovation is a key requirement, the goal isn't to write textbook quality code, it's to prove your ideas work and quickly evolve the project. Once you have an idea of how it'

I did experiment with this where Claude Code was the 'programmer' and ChatGPT was the Software Architect. The outcome was really solid and I made it clear that each was talking to an AI and they really seemed to collaborate and re

Yes, things that get resolved very quickly with AI include fixing Linting errors, reorganizing CI pipelines, documenting agreed on requirements, building well documented commits, cleaning up temporary files used to validate dev work, buildi

It is amazing, cringe all you want :) I scoped out a body of work and even with the AI assisting on building cards and feature documentation, it came to about 2 to 4 weeks to implement. It was done in 2 days. The key I've found with wo

Unfortunately not, but ensuring the final code quality will be well written is a challenge I am putting off for now. I'm leaning into the future growth of AI capabilities to help me here, otherwise I'll have to do it myself. That

There are definitely swings. Last night it took about 2 hours to get Monaco into my webpack built bootstrap template, it came down to CSS being mishandled and Claude couldn't see the light. I just pasted the code into ChatGPT o3 and it

I've been using Claude Code heavily for about 3 months now, and I'm pretty sure I'm between 10 and 20 times more productive while using it. How I measure performance is how many features I can implement in a given period of t

Security is either taken seriously, or it isn't. If security shortcuts are taken here, trust nothing else.

I've always enjoyed software design, for me the coding was the bottleneck and it was frustrating as I had to roll through different approaches when I so clearly knew the outcome that I wanted. Using Claude Code to first write specs, th

What a wonderful legacy. I'm using this as a reminder to continue to purge the useless and focus on things that matter.

You're right, but a startup has priorities a billion dollar company doesn't. And a billion dollar company can spend more time on min/max than a startup that is trying to get to PMF.

I wonder if this is linked to the reason that so many people become nauseous with 3D glasses. When we see 3d movements that don't correlate with what our inner ears, the response is that our body assumes something is wrong, we have ing

For me, this is a hard 'No'. This design requires far too much visual processing of my own brain to separate the 'liquid glass' animations from the content of the button. I find my eyes tracking content sliding under the

Not a problem, being able to put a story to what you are feeling is important. You control when to disconnect from the company, that's 100% in your power. Happy sailing!
