I have built a very nicely responsive real-time syncing iOS app in what amounts to a weekend of time. (I only have an hour here and there, young kids) I had zero iOS/Swift development experience prior to it.

I can also confirm that this wouldn't have been built if it weren't for Claude Code. It's "just" an improved groceries app, that works especially well for my wife and me.

Without LLM's, and with just an hour here and there, I wouldn't have done the work to learn the intricacies of iOS and Swift dev, set up the app, and actually tweak and polish it so it works well -- just to scratch the itch of a bit better groceries handling.

Coming downstairs in the morning to a completely clean floor is definitely a tiny bit of that magic.

Speaking from the Netherlands with a relatively good public transit system.

There's a plethora of reasons why VR in its current state is little more than a gimmick.

I agree with the thread that B2B solutions can be a good area to start a company, but how do you break in? As an outsider, it's hard to identify what businesses need.

Where did you get your B2B product idea and/or first customer(s)?

I'm working on a 27" 2560x1440 screen. I can see pixels, but that really doesn't matter. Text is readable, nothing is blurry, I can do my work and get on with my day. Screens are good enough, they work, and there is not much to gain by having higher resolutions.

Unless you have a background in C/C++ already, most people can probably get up and running with something like this way, way faster.

That really depends on the type of "Software Engineering" you're doing. In my experience, in greenfield projects, boring CRUD-type programming can easily take up 50% of your time.

It'd be great if AI could automate this boring CRUD-type programming away, and let me focus on the architecture and interesting algorithms.

People will have 1001 ideas and hypotheses, ranging from "hey, smoking might be unhealthy" to "the government is controlling us with 5g" and "aliens walk among us".

For the ones that make it through, like smoking, people can say "see, I told you so, we warned you". The other 999, you will, mostly, never hear from again.

In my opinion, that's the wrong way around.

I specifically have Telegram and WhatsApp to keep in touch with family & friends. I specifically don't use those other websites because of the reasons you mention.

Yes, I don't think there's anyone that will dispute this. Weight loss is pretty simple.

However, it's definitely not easy. "Just keep your calories below X" is way easier said than done. It's like saying: "Everyone can run an ultramarathon, just keep putting your foot in front of the other until you're there. It's really simple."
