It's like if ChatGPT could search Amazon

Day 2: Buttons


UI buttons across the board:

* Full-width, rounded
* High contrast vs. the background
* Short CTAs like “Continue” or “Buy Now”

Have you noticed any of these?

Day 1: Navigation

Almost every app had:

• A top bar with a back arrow + title
• A bottom nav with 3–5 tabs
• Scrollable vertical content

Invisible patterns users rely on.

I took a video of https://t.co/C7paKMbNOV and asked ChatGPT to analyze the apps it saw. I'll be sharing the results in the next few days.

@robj3d3 I'll give it a try SUPERX

[arthurdoesml @arthurdoesml]

@felixhhaas @lovable Left for sure

[arthurdoesml @arthurdoesml]

@Siron93 https://t.co/dLWhErEPMl is my new favorite thing

[arthurdoesml @arthurdoesml]

@_mctrinh Richer.

[arthurdoesml @arthurdoesml]

@agazdecki That's my plan. Got fed up of having a million tabs open, now I just need one.

@mosouthafrica Why not 1 in 52 weeks?

@Yuchenj_UW @karpathy @leerob Are you on steroids?

[arthurdoesml @arthurdoesml]

@karpathy @leerob @karpathy how about an experiment? I have like 2 followers, let's you and me post the same thing at the same time

Stage 4 is easy to miss but critical

[Andrej Karpathy @karpathy]

Noticing myself adopting a certain rhythm in AI-assisted coding (i.e. code I actually and professionally care about, contrast to vibe code).

1. Stuff everything relevant into context (this can take a while in big projects. If the project is small enough just stuff everything e.g. `files-to-prompt . -e ts -e tsx -e css -e md --cxml --ignore node_modules -o prompt.xml`)
2. Describe the next single, concrete incremental change we're trying to implement. Don't ask for code, ask for a few high-level approaches, pros/cons. There's almost always a few ways to do thing and the LLM's judgement is not always great. Optionally make concrete.
3. Pick one approach, ask for first draft code.
4. Review / learning phase: (Manually...) pull up all the API docs in a side browser of functions I haven't called before or I am less familiar with, ask for explanations, clarifications, changes, wind back and try a different approach.
6. Test.
7. Git commit.
Ask for suggestions on what we could implement next. Repeat.

Something like this feels more along the lines of the inner loop of AI-assisted development. The emphasis is on keeping a very tight leash on this new over-eager junior intern savant with encyclopedic knowledge of software, but who also bullshits you all the time, has an over-abundance of courage and shows little to no taste for good code. And emphasis on being slow, defensive, careful, paranoid, and on always taking the inline learning opportunity, not delegating. Many of these stages are clunky and manual and aren't made explicit or super well supported yet in existing tools. We're still very early and so much can still be done on the UI/UX of AI assisted coding.

@oleksiistrichyk I spent most of my life avoiding social media, it's making it difficult to tell people what I'm doing

[arthurdoesml @arthurdoesml]

@jsharkey So if I put 100% of my effort into the company I'd be fired?

[arthurdoesml @arthurdoesml]

So apparently Claude and 4o are small now

@thecammyc For myself. First goal is to build a tool I'm really gonna love

I keep thinking a lot of these AI startups are new—but turns out many of them are almost a decade old (@replit, @clay)

Got any examples of AI companies that quietly started way before the hype?
