Totally! I was copy and pasting screenshots to Claude endlessly. Also this lets you do a more intentional review, build up a batch of changes and then fire them at the agent in one go. Or give the devbar to a non-tech person on the team and have them export a PDF / HTML / Markdown of their notes, mapped to a screenshot and an x-path automatically.
Use AI to tackle larger projects and complex problems, that’s how you’ll get your competitive edge back. There have to be freelance projects beyond CRUD.
The “competitive edge” these days is partially being a domain expert, try to find a niche you can grow and learn in. It could be some industry or some tech, but that’s how you differentiate yourself in the LLM age, not by writing code.
That’s the way to do it! Build tooling around your agents to streamline workflows and increase your confidence in them. The agent knows when to reach out for guidance, besides that it runs on its own.
I used to use it very heavily during the original copilot days back in 2021 but it has been made totally obsolete by long running agents. Can’t say I miss it, I don’t miss anything about writing syntax.
Vibed this theremin app over the weekend. I've been in a mood building music related stuff.
It's quite fun to play with, very impressed with how well the hand-tracking works. I've been busting my phone out while killing time and just waving my hands around making cool sounds. It's like magic, sort of.
All the code is on GitHub (it's just a giant HTML file)
Don’t want the LLMs or anyone else to gobble up your project then keep it private.
The licenses are a gentleman’s agreement in a world of no gentlemen.
