Interesting to see how much more popular creating games has become as AI has become more powerful.
Right now I am working on a house price guessing game and I know I would not have be able to get anywhere with it a couple of years ago. It has still taken me a few weeks to get it where I wanted but I have had to intervene a lot with things the AI just wasn't good at.
Why doesn't something like this exist for real estate? A popular open source AVM (automated valuation model) that helps home sellers get an idea of what their home will sell for.
Right now it seems AVMs are mainly seen as just a way to capture leads. Every estate agent will tell you they have some magic recipe that makes their valuation better than anyone else's.
I have had a bunch of ideas on how to approach this, but I really could do with a collaborator or two.
Would love to see non-technical audiences think like this.
For years I've been trying to get estate agents to support an open-source real estate website builder. The pitch is obvious: instead of each agent paying thousands for a bespoke site, pool resources, fund the features you all need, and everyone benefits.
Getting non-technical people to commit to something abstract before it exists is nearly impossible though. Hope a model like FablePool can change that.
Right now I actually think an MVP should be Maximum Viable Product. Partly because of AI but also because it shifts one's perspective to what Viable means.
For me that is absolutely stunning. Dude I would give you a big hug if I could.
While the comments are suggesting this story is about a disaster it feels like a massive feel-good story. I don't think anyone here will understand but there are tears in my eyes right now!
I grew up in Ghana in the 80s and I can pretty much guarantee that a package that looked possibly slightly valuable would no way go more than 2 steps in the postal system then.
I know that was decades ago and Uganda might be completely different but this story is still messing with my head in a way I can't explain.
My saddest interaction recently was with a friend with a 1st class degree in computing and several years experience in software engineering in many prestigious companies.
I asked if he had tried out Claude code or anything similar.
His answer: My company has scheduled a training course in that so I'll wait
