Bragging about how much software you’re shipping with AI is like holding down the shutter button and bragging about how many photos you took.

At a UX jam earlier this year, one group finished in about half an hour. They'd vibe-coded their prototype, it worked, it looked great, and they were quietly chuffed about it while everyone else was still cutting cardboard and arguing about sticky notes.
Then they went out onto the streets to test it.
The cardboard people came back with users who had actually changed how they thought about the problem. The vibe coders came back with polite confusion from the people they'd spoken to. What they'd built was technically impressive and completely useless.
AI prototyping tools are genuinely brilliant. Getting from an idea to something clickable in half an hour would have been witchcraft five years ago. But "faster to build" and "worth building" are two completely different problems, and the second one still requires talking to actual users.
What I'm watching now is the speed of vibe coding creating a feeling of progress. You've made a thing. It has screens. You can click through it. But all you've really done is move the discovery work from the start of the process to the end, where it's much more expensive to find out you were wrong.

Just finished Atoms to Ashes by @SPlokhy. As per his previous Chernobyl book, a perfect mixture of fact and terror. I wonder if he'll ever write a similar book on fusion... One hopes not but our appetite and wrecklessness sometimes knows no bounds.

When he signed off from his last major tournament as an anchor, Des Lynam was two years younger than Gary Lineker is now. That slightly blows my mind.
Saw the article on @Horticap this morning. What an excellent project and 40 years in the making. I wonder if there any similar projects in the South West?

Fair play to @vicderbyshire that's a hell of a grilling.

Do you think that preventing MPs having second jobs would improve the calibre of those doing the role. I can't understand how someone can have a second job, paying significantly more than the minimum wage and still argue they can do both to the best of their abilities.
I love the ridiculous parts of life. Keeps you grounded and less stressed.

@sallyephillips joins us this week on Three Little Words where she shared her love of all things ‘ridiculous’ and a few hilarious stories 🤣
Not normally into football but Luke O'Nien seems like a potential legend.

Remember when Prince Charles paid tribute to Spike Milligan and Spike paid him one back? Everyone in the world should see this at least once.
Any @creativecloud users tell me a way that we can have a central document that is accessed by a whole team without having to 'share' it? In @sketch you can see all cloud documents but seemingly not in cc. I thought libraries did this but apparently not.
