  • I mostly use the web version of Claude. But generally my approach has been to start simple and build bigger.

    “I want a website that does X.”

    “Can you add a dark mode toggle.”

    “I don’tlike those colors, can you make it more blue.”

    “Can you add a log in function with a simple database backend that doesn’t use a full SQL install. Users should be able to add a profile image and username.”

    “The first user should be an admin and can add or remove other admins.”

    “Admins can change the theme colors on a settings page.”

    That sort of thing. Start basic, add features, usually one by one, test as you go, see what breaks, if anything.


  • Vibe coding only works for “I need a one time use python script that processes this data and I can’t be assed to spend 2 hours remebering how to use Pandas right now.”

    Not for million dollar apps.

    Of all the AI use cases, coding is honestly the one that makes sense since like 90% of coding is just copying some other code and massaging it into place. Even as a “Vibe Coder” you kind of still need to know the idea of what code you need and what you want it to do.








  • Yeah, the only reason “gig economy” workers exist is so companies can use clever lawyer buzz words to exploit workers. We already have delivery drivers, we already had cab drivers, we already had hotels and rental homes, etc etc.

    But suddenly we have “disruptive” gig bull shit, because now its a “ride share” to avoid cab rules. The delivery person works for another company and is a weird psudo contracter because McDonalds isn’t going to pay delivery drivers to have downtime, etc etc.

    Its ultimately just a way get around regular employment laws and exploit people to the max. Its stupid and its why at least for my part, I have not and will not every use these services.
