As soon as I saw the announcement , tried again and created a working design skill that can create design artifacts following the brand guidelines.

While these improvements seem incremental, they have a compounding effect on usefulness.

My AI doomsday calculator just got decremented by anothet 6 months.

The drive was delightful and felt really safe. It handled the SF terrain, traffic and mixed traffic like trams very well.

I wouldnt trust a self driving tesla ( or any camera only systems) though!

I created this web application to review the terms and conditions of website and show an LLM surface the ugly parts of the TOS.

Shoutout: this was inspired by the amazing humans at tosdr.org

It's because we developers don't get to see the big picture anymore and it's not our fault. Software development stopped being a craft. Now it's just an assembly line.

Some product owner who barely understands the tech hands you a Jira ticket. It has a list of requirements, and your job is to make the ticket go away. You don't know why you're building it. You don't talk to the person who will use it. Your only job is to close the ticket.

Every single bug you listed? I can tell you exactly where it came from.

Of-course Chrome's tab groups are broken. The team was measured on shipping the feature, not making it work. Fixing it is tech debt, and tech debt never gets prioritized over the next shiny new thing on the roadmap.

Slack shitting the bed when you change network? That's the price of "moving fast and breaking things," except we never go back to fix them. We just live with the rubble.

And the stuff that seems intentionally hostile. That's what happens when the goal is just juicing some engagement metric. The user's sanity is never part of that equation.

Don't even get me started on the "Agile" theater. We do all the meetings, the stand-ups, the retros. It's a cargo cult. It's a way for management to pretend there's a process while they just demand more features, faster. And when stuff breaks, they blame us for not "trusting the process."

So no, you're not just yelling at clouds. You're seeing exactly what this broken factory produces every day. Your frustration is completely justified.

Vibe coding actually helped me get a few projects out of the door finally! But even now I can't resist the urge to buy a domain when I get an idea for a new side project.

AI and specifically the summarization capabilities of the LLMs is what made this product feasible.

This is still a side project with no plans of monetization. There is no moat (yet) that an internal team in a legal tech company cannot replicate. There are still a few interesting problems to solve in the roadmap, which I am eager to work on. Then will let life take its course

Reading through the Terms of service in websites is a pain. Most of the users skip reading that and click accept. The risk is that they enter into a legally binding contract with a corporation without any idea what they are getting themselves into.

How it started: I read news about Disney blocking a wrongful death lawsuit, since the victim agreed to a arbitration clause when they signed up for a disney+ trial.

I started looking into available options for services that can mitigate this and found the amazing https://tosdr.org/en project.

That project relies on the work of volunteers who have been diligently reading the TOS and providing information in understandable terms.

Light bulb moment: LLM's are good at reading and summarizing text. Why not use LLMs for the same. That's when I started building tosreview.org. I am also sending it for the bolt.new hackathon.

Existing features: Input for user entered URLs or text Translation available for 30+ languages.

Planned features: Chrome/firefox extension Structured extraction of key information ( arbitration enforced , jurisdiction enforced etc).

Let me know if you have any feedback
