The era of people caring about knowledge/learning seems to be dead. At least in the way we used to, because a lot of what we needed that for can now be done by the LLMs.

It wont be implementing current tech using AI for sure. Everyone and their mothers will be using AI at OS or browser level. For example, What if users block ads using AI? Companies will have figure out a way to stay ahead and continue to serve ads.

That might just be how it will turn out, but not because it's Google's strategy. They are just too big to fail.

I don't know if even that matters much in future. Somone will build a layer that makes it simple enough for everyone to use.

If that is the case, 90% software was never lucrative
Re:Thoughts and feelings around Claude Design on Monday April 20, 2026 @03:12AM (#47831239)
I did graphic and motion design for 20+ years and been doing full stack dev for the last 6. It's very difficult to do both and excel at - especially in the frontend space where things move incredibly fast. As you try to excel at one, you'll feel left behind in the other. Very stressful.

My prediction for every creator tool will be 30% deterministic software and the rest 70 is a long system prompt. This is the future.

Just curious, what $ would you have considered worth it for the output you actually got?
Re:Claude Design on Saturday April 18, 2026 @01:00AM (#47813260)
I've been building a similar tool since Tuesday with CC and got very far, More thought out features and interface then this. Applications have no moat, when you can build it in a week.

Really hope Anthropic didn't notice my ingenious work and quickly copy it.

The bars have solid fill for Mythos and cross shaded for Opus 4.6. Makes the difference feel more than it actually is.

Why does it matter what tech the engineers used in the past? I thought they didn't write code anymore.

What resources? it's supposedly a solved problem. Anthropic just needs to spend tokens.

That's not vibe coding
The cell layers constraint led to better art. The detail in the background was minimal and the artists world compensate for it by interesting framing and lighting. Go back and watch one fish two fish or the black widower episodes from early seasons - just incredible animation.

You can see the number of lines drawn go up like crazy around season 10 or so, making it feel less realistic. Coincidentally, the writing also started to get worse around this time.

Thank you. This just makes sense. In fact, seperating them into different files don't make much sense when you think about it.
