About

I'm an idealistic, curious, ever-evolving technophile, with aspirations of becoming a theologian someday; Open-sourced pilled and a techno-optimist at heart. Fancy words to say that I'm a techie / gamer / geek who just wants to bring a smile to people's faces. And Tech is my tool of choice.

Has AI become inefficient? And how can we use it better and effectively (for both parties)?

I m increasingly noticing a trend: people use AI for (almost everything), especially for writing texts. it is nothing new, but it started to be annoying (?)

The problem is that AI often:
fully or largely replicates existing text without adding anything new
adds completely pointless things, like a two-line comment followed by
writes extremely long comments that no one will actually read

Vibe coding is thriving. The tools powering it are quietly dying.

Last month, Tailwind CSS fired 75% of their engineering team.

Revenue dropped 80%. Doc traffic down 40%.

Meanwhile, Tailwind is more popular than ever.

We paid $25k for our website. I vibe-coded a new one in 2 days.

Last year we hired a design agency to build our marketing site for @Basedash. They did an incredible job. The headline makes it sound like I'm dunking on them, but I'm not. The site was genuinely great. They built it in Framer so we could manage content ourselves, which was a completely reasonable bet at the time (and something we explicitly asked for).
