What currently happens looks really scary. The level of technical skills needed to make and deploy app in production dropped a lot. Everybody are trying to make something. This can be good and bad. Good because increasing the level of concu

I am working as contractor for the last 15-16 years. And each new project starts with interview. I have been on around 20+ . Most of the time, I just read again the most basic staff like, what is class, interface, overriding, overloading. J

I will :) Sometimes, I really need someone to tell me that it makes sense. I hit so many walls trying to make this idea publicly visible, that I almost become desperate. Most of the time, I am just treated as 'one more intruder'.

I guess it is related to the model as well? Is it Sonnet or Opus? Sometimes the old Opus 4.6 gives more appropriate results.

I am working on two things in parallel. https://howareu.app/ is the first one. Of course, struggling with the making it publicly known and trusted. ;) And the other thing I just started is a MCP server that will connect to

This is always the struggle. To implement it is not like promote it. Making the product publicly visible and known is actually the harder part. Be consistent, try on multiple places, be active, make good site, good videos, good training, ta

Sometimes, I get bored. Writing code was so much fun. Trying to figure out, how to resolve the issue, and they feel the excitement, the joy when the task is done. This is now gone. I case of issue, ask the AI, tell the AI to write it. Where

At 40+ , especially if you have kids and other responsibilities, just going back t school is really, really hard. I may also say, impossible. I tried to learn German a few years ago. My brain does not work the same way, as when I was before

The problem is not the AI/LLMs technologies. It is the greed. Earn more money, and the money to be more important than the people. It is not a capitalism thing. It is bad culture, attitude, and egoism, IMHO.

Everything is based on the requirements and available resources. One of our clients decided that calling the AI so often takes time, and money, and this does not work for him. AI can give suggestions, not decisions. IF you want decisions an

I would be happy to see some prove that this works. A project that started and went go. How a friendlier specification looks like and why agents understand it better.

This is cool. The plan written as algorithm. Pro-activity is the key. Usually, people like to stay in their comfort zone. This guy was searching for his, and found it. I wonder, why he did not have any friends from the years of studying. U

If you love it, do it. It is not that easy to find a job as before, but if you are good and pro-active, and with passion, money will come... no matter what you actually do.

You have good approaches. I created a slash commands that I run, and explicitly wrote to be executed with Sonnet. I also compact manually, and try to keep the session short. But let's look at the big picture. When using a tool, it mus

Anthropic's whole subscription plans, models, performances, and token usage are lately a big issue for everybody. They started so good, now a lot of people are pissed off. You are the next, unfortunately :(

I read it in a report: AI amplifies. It amplifies the success of the good professionals and amplifies the failures of the bad ones. In all cases, whole enterprise solution can't be made with pure vibecoding. Specification is needed, a

For development Android can be a nightmare. Especially, if you try to make a long-running app. Each OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) like Samsung, Honor, Xiaomi, etc has its way to keep the OS up and running, in good shape, performance

Yes. When things get too complex Sonnet misses some things. For example, it creates all the components, but does not link them. Or it does not go deep enough in the code and misses certain usages and possible regressions. In other words, i

I don't know about the medicine. I have not been in any medicine related project, so far. Regarding the banks, they can't use AI. This is a big security risk for them. They need to keep really, really high level of confidentiality

I fully agree with the garbage. It is extremely difficult to release a product these days. Everybody are trying to vibecode something, without any knowledge of basic software development, validation, reviews, specifications. Even if there i
