No. AI is killing the average/mediocre/order taker roles whether frontend or backend or full stack. Nt because it is necessarily better than the mediocre ones but because it is 100x cheaper. Can't beat that. My honest answer.

Happy for Tailwind as this was possible the best outcomes possible for them at this stage. It is clear that most of the frameworks for software are going to struggle significantly because of AI. Especially CSS frameworks. No one cared about

This takes me back to early 2000s when HTML forms were submitted using GET request. Fun times.

I like Keycloak a lot but didn't select them because I cannot use my own frontend framework.

I am going to be that guy. 8/10 times, you don't need these 3rd party providers. Yes, someone is going to tell me all about the SSOs, SCIMs, Audit Logs etc etc but the point is that 8/10 applications are simple enough to buil

I don't care what my level is. I fire it up, try to prompt what I need to and get things done. If it doesn't do what I want, I update my prompt accordingly.

Exactly. I was talking more about readability.

"The worst part is that AI is covering up their deficiencies. They don’t know what skills they lack. They don’t even know what skills are required because they haven’t put the effort in." This is the biggest issue with AI. It is i

Do it. It is just a beautiful language to write and much simpler to pickup than many others. I am a fan boy of course but I love Go.

These types of articles needed to be written because we have gone way too much in the other direction. The issue is that people use too many tools prematurely when they are not needed at their stage. So yea, in most cases, you are probably

I have seen some older Software/SAAS UIs displaying version numbers. But letting you switch may not make sense because usually a change happens both in backend and frontend and switching versions is not something vendors want to offer

I looked at your landing page and I cannot understand what it does. What are you licensing exactly ? Is it a license for softsare product (e.g. license key etc) OR is it license as in restricting how many users can access the product etc ?

Is there an easy way to block any requests originating from VPS etc instead of residential/commercial IP from legitimate users ? I know cloudflare does a few things but I really want to figure out a way to block any request say at ngin

.ai is the new .io but nothing will beat .com. Even Paul Graham has said that.

"trying for eight years". "I tried to build tens of apps". "I started getting other ideas again" I am running a bootstrapped SAAS for 11+ years. Since you asked for honest feedback, I will lay it on you strai

Agreed. That's one thing I realized I cannot do myself. I bought an expensive Mower Rider and tried it myself only realizing how much work it is for do trimming, blow, cleanup, weeding etc other than just mowing. Granted, I have a larg

It is all about the ROI. A lawn cut from a professional can cost anywhere from $25-$100 on an average (per cut). So with a $1000 lawn mower, you will get the return back in 10-40 cuts at most. That is less than 1-2 seasons. Sure, there will

You never know the future but imagine the people who were bearish on personal computers when it wasn't a thing yet but was being discussed. Imagine Email, Internet etc etc. Now they are commodities. I am sure one day AI Robots will be

OH no. This is really bad news. Gotta think of alternatives now. I never had a single hosting/software company that got better after being bought by PE. They got 1000x worse in a few months since PE take over.

"Why isn't it the top priority for everyone?" You mean afte we have solved hunger, poverty, human trafficking, drought, famine, natural disasters problems ? Sure after all that, I am sure it can take priority.

I never said "minimal severance". I am actually saying that give them a great severance but stop with the other BS about "oh how much we love you".

Because it was never about you. They have to fake empathy and provide "explanations" because they think its the "Safer" way. You already know that of course.

Because that's the truth and just because you fake empathy, the person getting fired knows what their worth to the company was. Sure there are people who don't prefer to hear the truth but most employees would. In fact, I would go

I am a founder/CEO myself (a very small company so I don't have experience of mass layoffs for full disclosure). However, I don't get this explanation. If you feel genuine responsibility for the people, then figure out a way

"Not having empathy" may have made sense 20-30 years ago when mass layoffs weren't as common as nowadays. Nowadays, everyone knows how it works and how much they really care about the employees. Nothing is worse than someone

The only possible positive thing out of this cringy article is that the severance is decent (for a US company). 4 months of pay and healthcare coverage through Year end. Everything else could have just been a couple of sentences. Companies
