'They had equal rights and self-determination in Gaza. For decades. They never built a society from it'

Uneducated statement by an uneducated user. Actually quite shocking. Information is free, educated yourself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaza_Strip

I recently created a voice notes app in react-native / expo. And I have a waveform that updates according to the multimeter (audio input)

From my first try, I immediately had the performance monitor visible because I knew this could be RAM intensive.

I iterated a few times until I settled on SKIA and boy, the performance was night and day.

Consumer stance on paying for software has changed drastically now because of AI. Even outside of utility software like Chat GPT, people are paying for image generators etc.

Im not an Apple fan boy but Apple has been at the forefront of alot of design decisions that other companies later follow. So whilst I don’t agree with the liquid design. I suspect there’s more to it than meets the eye.

It seems like they are trying to unify the UX for vision OS and other devices and have them finally morph with the AR interfaces that are to come. There is probably a bigger vision behind this than just shiny visuals.

Agree with your stance on micro SasS space, I've just built two internal tools for my marketing co-founder, one was a Tiktok dashboard to track impressions for all our accounts. Another was dynamically rendered pages for the Tikok posters, that rendered posting info and schedule from notion. Both took 1 - 2 days each. They are very basic but do the job and i don't have to pay $20 - $50 for another service.

Ask HN: What is the future of tech roles?

Lately, there’s been a growing narrative especially from VCs and CEOs about software engineers being replaced by AI in the near future. At first, I didn’t think much of it, but over time, that fear has slowly started to creep in.

Personally, I don’t believe I can be replaced. I use AI tools every day, and they’re great. Like a smart autocomplete or a really good rubber duck but I see them as assistants, not substitutes.

I think people deeply immersed in their field understand the nuance and artistry of what they do. It’s like when Ben Affleck said actors can’t be replaced by AI - yet in the same breath dismissed VFX artists. Clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ypURoMU3P3U&t=2s

So I'm uncertain weather I'm over estimating my 'artistry' and the industry just thinks of my profession of as a Gihbli picture. I’d really like to hear thoughts from fellow software engineers and especially from those in management or leadership positions. How are you feeling about all this?

Vibe coders will be so busy solving the problem of making something work that they wont invest time into understanding the business problem at hand

Above broke for me for few of some of the previews. You have to click to see various previews and it's slow. OP's version shows them all on the same page, it's cleaner, has more previews and styled appropriately. Pretty obvious reasons!
