The caveat is that you might end up shaving a yak. More often than not I end up three or four tasks deep while trying to fix a tiny issue. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_UZFI-8D5uA

It seems to rehash a much better article by Maggie Appleton. The original has great writing and gorgeous illustrations. This is actually a good example of how much better the human-written original is to its AI slop copy. https:/&#x2F

Why? He posts high-quality content that's interesting if you care about that field. It's not my cup of tea, but it's pretty far from what this list tries to block.

I use it as write-only media and I had an okay experience. I have met a lot of people IRL through LinkedIn.

I switched away from ChatGPT mainly due to that. Gemini is much faster to type into.

That's a very appropriate analogy. It's also fine to start cheap and replace with better tools once the needs are established.

> How do you know it ever does the job? Because the part of the job it automates is simple, and can be tested. I cannot overstate how simple the tools I am thinking of are. Think tipping calculator. Neither new nor creative nor complex.

Yes, and if a candle burns down a building, you are liable for the damage it caused. Likewise if a human employee messed up, the employer would be liable for the damage.

Not just some asshole from twitter. The big tech companies will also be careless and indifferent with it. They will destroy things, hurt people, and put things in motion that they cannot control, because it’s good for shareholders.

I agree for writing, but not for coding. An app can be like a home-cooked meal: made by an amateur for a small group of people.[0] There is nothing boring about knocking together hyperlocal software to solve a super niche problem. I love Ma

It makes sense. A vibe-coded tool can sometimes do the job, just like some cheap Chinese-made widget. Not every task requires hand-crafted professional grade tools. For example, I have a few letter generators on my website. The letters are

Same. We have a very similar use case then. Did it handle user flows well? I'm talking about account validation, deactivation and recovery. Or better, if the code is on GitHub, I would love to have a look.

I disagree. It's interesting to see what sorts of tiny problems people had and solved. The code is less important than the problem itself. A bit like duct-taping a solution in your garage for an hyper-specific issue in your house.

I am interested in building a forum. Hiw well did the vibe coding approach work for you vs just using something oof the shelf?

Years ago, when I was just getting started as a freelancer, I was trying to figure out how much to charge. The answer I got was "as much as you can get away with". I got paid obscene amounts of money for simple work, but the other

To an extent, you can set boundaries. Boundaries are not for controlling others, but they can define what behaviour you accept. I don't accept apologies written by AI. I don't read AI-written content. I don't put my name on A

It would likely happen in Germany, unless you have a VPN. This has been a problem for years when torrenting films. Chasing people with fines has been a lucrative, automated business for years.

I don't think it's a matter of competence or confidence. It's more about indifference. AI supercharged the bullshit jobs ot should have displaced.
