i believe it depends on the design system maturity too.

my 2 cents - Claude is not going after EVERY single SaaS (or maybe not yet), but after those products that are adopted by individuals that are keen at experimenting new tools (software engineers, designers etc etc).

At the same time I have the feeling Claude Design is more useful to get UI context closer to Code Claude then anything (and eventually some quick prototyping), but I might be wrong.

Either way, I've been trying to upload a 95MB .fig file and I get a generic error message without any information on the issue itself (is the file too big? not the right format? Tell me!)

if you export the .fig file (even programatically) and you ingest in Claude Design you won't need to create users in Figma, right?

I'm not sure in English, but in Italian, for example, Intelligenza is feminine.

I live in Berlin and it's quite common here. I personally cannot have it because my balcony has no railing but a low wall that doesn't allow me to hang the solar panel. Plus, you need a power socket easily reachable and that's also a blocker for me, otherwise I would have installed it.

I don't think people discovered frameworks with Google, nor they are going to do so with LLMs. It might be a different topic for libraries.

coming from PHP, it's incredible how many times I've been bitten by glitches with managing time with JS clientside.

I believe the Neo doesn't necessarily target Android Studio users as their primary segment.

the last few days have been quite buggy. At some point they will have to trade some stability vs new features, or people will start to notice and be pissed off. You are working on something and you have to interrupt mid way.

I usually have conversations with Claude for clearing my mind and forming the scope of a project. I usually use voice transcription from Claude app to take notes and explore all my options.

New comment by thinkindie in "AI is killing B2B SaaS"

thinkindie — Thu, 05 Feb 2026 14:48:52 +0000

My point was along this line: writing code is different than building a product as much as recording a video is different than telling a story with a movie (long and short that you want).

Do everyone has the capability to build a comprehensive set of features that we call a product to solve problems that people or business have in their life?

That’s why I’m always skeptical about measuring AI impact based solely on quantitative metrics.

and also:

* several companies require their tool to have several certifications (SOC 2, ISO 27001 etc etc), how this will work with vibe coded tools?

I have few sticks in the sand in my thinking framework:

* writing code has always been the easiest part of building software, deciding what to do and what not to do is something else that takes forever sometimes

* there are several open source projects that can replace commercial SaaS and still people prefer to purchase commercial SaaS. These are available immediately, deployed immediately etc etc.

* along the same line, some of those open source projects offer self-hosting and cloud version: I would always personally go for the cloud version because in a small team I don't want to operate something that other people built and I don't know how to operate. That's not my job not my team job

* people are underestimating how draining is operating and maintaining software, which is something that goes beyond the adrenaline rush you get after "building" something with Lovable or similar tools. Also, I find it extremely easy to get 80% done quickly but excruciatingly slow to get things done right.

* I still see huge value in using tools like Lovable to build a working prototype and validate assumptions so that you get quickly build the right thing right solving the right problem in the right away avoiding waste

* camcorders have been around for ages but you don't have millions of directors around just because you make a tool more accessible

* same can be said for other things like restaurants, where sometimes it's more convenient (although expensive) to buy vs build.

There might be a cultural component, but as a matter of fact if you want to expand to other countries within Europe you will have to create a local entity or hire through an EOR. EU-inc will solve this.

I noticed that Safari is not mentioned - is it because is not relevant on Desktop or because it didn't go through the same enshittification process as the other two major browsers?

Palestinians have been living in an apartheid state since well before October 7th, 2023. At least few decades back. Gaza was even worse.
