  • Claude is an Electron App because we’ve lost native @ tonsky.me
    #ai#software | Article argues that Claude is not an Electron app not because LLMs can’t do it, but because there are no advantages left for native

    As much as I hate this - I think he's 100% correct. I was a big proponent of native software, but most times it's not worth the cost. If you care about performance, you can be performant. If you care about local-first, you can be local first. The problem is that the majority of folks don't care about it, or actively don't want it.

    #ai#development#software | Today, it seems like the biggest opportunities will be in the third of my opening statements. Building systems remains hard. Can I assume you’re familiar with Amdahl’s Law? That’s what’s going on: a massive speed up on a portion of the problem, but as that portion speeds up it becomes less and less of a contributor to the overall speedup

    This is mostly how I think about what AI is doing to the software industry. Things are changing, but writing code is just one piece of the puzzle. The harder piece remains.. and I think it's been made even harder. Everyone knows how hard it is to review code.. now you're churning out 1000s of lines a day? Shit, that's a bad idea all round...

  • I miss thinking hard.
    #ai#coding#engineering

    I'm seeing a lot of takes like this - I'm finding the opposite. AI takes care of a lot of the boring parts. The boiler-plate, the connections. But it leaves me to think about how things should be implemented and capture higher level problems earlier.

    Instead of leaving the AI to figure out the right way to query something from the db, I can flag a potential n+1 issue from the very start.

    I think I need to revisit this topic and share my approach in more detail...

  • Initial commit: App Store Screenshot Generator · YUZU-Hub/appscreen@20cfbbf
    #ai#oss#software | Create screenshots for the iOS App Store. Contribute to YUZU-Hub/appscreen development by creating an account on GitHub.

    When we talk about the proliferation of AI-code and the "death of SaaS" it's tools like this that stand out put me. Before this would be a small line-time and accepted as part of your development costs.. now it's something you can handle in-house. The bar for paying for software is getting higher and higher, as it should.
