@wesbos Generative UIs will be inconsistent and bad UX. LLMs can’t think, you need people who take the time to understand what is really important and make decisions about how to help a user accomplish any given task easier.

You cannot/should not outsource thinking

@jeffrey_way I've been discovering I have to code more by hand again, as I swear Claude is getting dumber

@shadcn What kind of psychopath doesn’t use pointer on buttons?

@wesbos Seeing Jakob Nielsen lose his mind and declare this the future of UX has been really sad to see

[Mike @Levous_io]

@developedbyed I don’t really get it, to me it’s a completely different tool with a different use case. If you’re doing real thought out unique design work you’d use a tool like Figma. Trying to bring a specific design vision to life via text description just isn’t a good UX

[Mike @Levous_io]

@thekitze You just needed some time to soak in the culture

@obie @matthewcp If you think AI can write good CSS, you can’t write good CSS

@jeffrey_way @laracasts It would be cool to see what your process looked like working on this assuming you’ve mostly focused on web apps previously

@denicmarko A single PHP file

@erikdkennedy My conclusion so far is AI cannot design no matter what prompts/skills etc you use

[Mike @Levous_io]

@erikdkennedy I have been trying something similar with a document of my own design principles including what I picked up from LUID, but it doesn’t seem to translate that well for me so far

[Mike @Levous_io]

@jeffrey_way A lot of your posts lately would seem to imply you think coding is solved. If this is your take, I'm not sure why you've said you'll be pivoting Laracasts away from its original style of teaching to be more AI-centric, unless I've misinterpreted. How are you defining vibe coding?

[Mike @Levous_io]

@jeffrey_way @phpstorm Do you get much value from PHPStorm these days?

[Mike @Levous_io]

@ZssBecker Are they "vibe coding" or are they using it intentionally, creating detailed specs, explicitly telling the AI how to do it and reviewing what output is? If not, that might be why you're spending so many credits

Regardless. I think you're right. People have lost their minds

[Mike @Levous_io]

@jeffrey_way YOU can build a useful app in a day. Because of your existing experience as a developer. The average person or a new developer that doesn’t have the chance or inclination to learn the hard way won’t. I think it’s easy to lose perspective

[Mike @Levous_io]

@jeffrey_way Fundementals and code literacy are so important. I watched a non-programmer fumble through using AI today, it was painful.

My usage of AI has only reinforced how important fundentals are so it’s discouraging seeing you say you’ll be abandoning that as a lifetime laracasts member
