Why wouldn't figma be considered a crud app?
It’s still basically adding and updating things in a DB no?
With some highly complex things like rendering, collab and stuff.
(Fair question btw)
I wouldn’t necessarily say so.
I guess that’s what they are trying to « pulse » people and « learn » from you instead of just providing decent unbiased answers.
In Europe, most companies and Gov are pushing for either mistral or os models.
Most dev, which, if I understand it correctly, are pretty much the only customers willing to pay +100$ a month, will change in a matter of minutes if a better model kicks in.
And they loose money on pretty much all usage.
To me a company like Antropics which mostly focus on a target audience + does research on bias, equity and such (very leading research but still) has a much better moat.
Exactly! If you can get some exposure as a « specialist », build a network or just learn a ton of new skills (marketing, accounting, PR, devops) it tends to be a win/win.
That’s what I’m currently doing and by no mean would I have better myself as much in any other way.
If you enjoy Charlie’s, you will definitely enjoy Kahneman’s Thinking Fast and Slow, especially the part about being an « expert »: a few talks in empty classrooms in a famous Uni, a radio show nobody knows and voila, you get some cred!
I found that presenting your situation and asking for a plan/ideas + « do not give me code. Make sure you understand the requirements and ask questions if needed.» works much better for me.
It also allows me to more easily control what the llm will do and not end up reviewing and throwing 200 lines of code.
In a nextjs + vitest context, I try to really outline which tests I want and give it proper data examples so that it does not cheat around mocking fake objects.
I do not buy into the whole you’re a senior dev etc. Most people use Claude for coding so I guess it’s engrained by default.
