Social media is barely regulated and the New America will likely retaliate if non-American countries regulate it in way required for productive participation of 16 year old children.
AI coding IS SaaS. Claude Code is a subscription service I pay to create the exact, niche, I need you to build a form that submits a blog post to Wordpress here’s my api key, here’s the word doc format it comes in, I’ll paste it in the chat and you make a paste from word button so I don’t have to manually enter the form and it works first try. That is the definition of software as a service. And it’s mine and it’s exactly what I need. Tomorrow I’ll need something else…
I’m a professional graphic designer, people in the industry use font, type and typeface interchangeably. No one goes “Umm Actually…”
you should also tell that to who wrote css, because font-weight doesn’t make sense if a font is already a specific weight. Words mean something specific until they don’t and the meaning changes over time and that’s okay
They have a panel who are reviewing it’s effects across all aspects of teen life including sleep patterns, school grades ect and then nationally test results ect
“The regulator would need to assess whether platforms were taking reasonable steps. If they were not, it could take that platform to court to seek fines.
There would be an independent evaluation of the ban conducted by an academic advisory group examining the short-term, medium-term and longer-term impacts of the ban.
“It will look at the benefits over time, but also the unintended consequences,” Inman Grant said.

“Everything from are they sleeping? Are they interacting or are they actually getting out on the sports fields? Are they reading books? Are they taking less medication like antidepressants? Are their Naplan scores improving over time?” Inman Grant said.”
My cousin suddenly has been very captured and obsessed by an area of opinion I didn’t have a name for, fixed money supply, all inflation inherently bad, Elon Musk is badly treated, longer government terms (which sounds reasonable initially until you actually think about just having LESS democracy), no minimum wage. After some research it’s definitely coming from influencers linked to the SV techno feudalists - it’s just such a strong change. But you realise real power is only useful if people can come along with you - if you can build support with the public…
Sounds loosely libertarian, but the longer terms one is new. Its long appealed to technical folks because of its simplicity and ability to address a wide swath of policy issues.
It took me a long time to break myself out of it. I think key was getting into the deep details of passing actual policies that would have enough popular support to be sustainable, to realize its ultimately just naive/simplistic thinking, thats another impractical ideology under the hood, dressed up as something more meaningful.
The only AI tools that will ever be truly useful are the ones you build yourself. Basically in this world useful = dangerous. Moving files around, changing file names, deleting files, reading emails responding to emails. The AI’s can do it but it’s dangerous, safeguards like human in the loop aren’t feasible at scale. Yet I’ve built agents or used Claude Code in folders to do this manually and it’s amazing - but every application with an AI button now you just KNOW it can’t do the thing you want it to do.
As someone who vibes codes web apps that are being used by people, they take way way longer than initially expected. The prototype can take one shot, and the full prod implementation can take weeks to months. If you aren’t able to stick it out it will die but if you are willing to learn how to prompt to integrate Auth, email, security, performance than you can create truly incredible apps with no coding experience. But it’s basically a new skill in and of itself. Claude Code already gets the prototype to final product gap down a lot because it’s so good and getting better but it still makes mistakes and needs lots and lots and lots of nudging and directing and reminders and writing docs and getting other agents to check work based on docs ect.
When you say with no coding experience, what does that mean to you? I can get near miraculous results from vibe coding, but it often gets stuck in weird “bug loops” where it goes back and forth between broken states, and I have to understand either like bracket formatting, or be able to research library failures and conflicts. I suppose with no coding experience I could maybe muddle through, but itw would require hours of patience and probably learning some coding fundamentals to do something I can identify in sometimes seconds.
Literally could only do basic html css before. Now I can build solid Sveltekit web apps from scratch. It’s still hard and frustrating. I’ve spent all day trying to get OTP auth working it’s very frustrating it misses things. But other times you can one shot whole features. Supabase MCP has been an absolute game changer. Database fluidity in development is really key. Trying to push migrations and generate types manually beforehand add so much time.
This has been my experience as well. I've gotten really good results from Claude Code, but sometimes I have to press esc when I see it doing something stupid and course correct. It really seems to struggle with recursive solutions to problems or deeply nested constructs. Because I have a programming background, I know better when to interrupt and provide different directions or know when to abandon contexts better than someone without "coding experience" ever could. Just the years and years of debugging experience on your own projects will position you infinitely better than someone who has never really had to dig into complex problems and figure out what's going wrong. Sometimes you have to tell the agent specifically which logs to look into or which likely problem spaces it's encountering and knowing what sort of logs exist on a system is important for that.
> I can get near miraculous results from vibe coding, but it often gets stuck in weird “bug loops” where it goes back and forth between broken states, and I have to understand either like bracket formatting, or be able to research library failures and conflicts.
In my experience this is mainly caused by a lack of investment in tests.
Vibe-coding excels when paired with test-driven development, because TDD approaches serve as validators and problem constrains. Often coding agents get stuck on but loops because they have neither context nor feedback on what represents a broken state. Tests fix both problems, and if you stop to add one then your bug loops quickly vanish.
That’s fine but you would have to find the commit message to understand the context, whereas this is closer to an extended git blame per line with more metadata because if you store the conversation history locally you can link that line to its conversation context and that lives with the code not with the git commit.
At the moment I use just extensive docs to track decisions and business logic but its static and is constantly going stale.
I've built a CMS with Claude Code aswell and its working incredibly to create JSON proposals that my sveltekit website reads and turns into beautiful proposal pages. When a customer creates a booking for my mini-golf hire company they get emailed and they get their own booking hub where they can update their booking details, see the proposal when it comes through see any invoices ect.
The best part is and what i'm so excited about is we have created a daily business script 'npm run daily' that Claude Code runs and the script uses the business logic to move bookings along in the cycle by telling Claude Code what bookings have tasks. It will return, you have 3 bookings that need attention, run 'npm run get-booking [booking shortcode] THEN that script returns ALL data for that booking row from the db and it knows what task is needed to be done so Claude Code has all the context for that booking and it's prompted at the end saying NEXT STEP Claude code run 'npm run generate-proposal [shortcode] JSON output. (there was an example json output in there for claude to know the syntax ) Everything goes to an out tray in the admin web ui that i have to manually approve. I'm still in testing but I'm starting to realise that Claude Code can be an agentic platform for apps run from the CLI, like my automated crm assistant we've built.
Just fantastic! You know you can setup GitHub Actions to move things along? I have made a few. I also installed Claude Code agent in the git hub repository. Then if I want to make changes to the site when I’m out and about I just raise an issue and ask @claude to do something. Also, I have been using Netlify functions to do quite a few different things as well, like sending SMS messages when a form is completed. Also the paid version of Netlify allows background functions that can run too.
Bad actors can push for good things and they still be good.
