@araseb_ Its just simple, works. I think that is the biggest reason why most people prefer vercel for deployment

So finally, all the hype of Fable 5 and the work it was doing is gone.

Matrix is doing its work.

I’m not a designer myself, but I’d bet that AI is still far from replacing great designers.

Design isn’t just about creating visuals—it’s about design thinking, taste, intuition, context, and solving complex human problems. AI can assist, but I don’t think it has reached that level yet.

Just my opinion. Happy to be proven wrong.

How you guys are feeling about the new Claude Model so far?

[Umi ⚡ @buildlastic]

@theo This is really crazy. Theo just curious how you review this much of code.

[Umi ⚡ @buildlastic]

@pcshipp That is why it is more important now to do Test Driven Development. Because coding was never the hard part. The hard part was the programming, the thinking behind building a system.

Share your honest opinion about opus 4.8? What you think is it going to be better?

[Claude @claudeai]

Introducing Claude Opus 4.8: it builds on Opus 4.7 with sharper judgment, more honesty about its own progress, and the ability to work independently for longer than its predecessors.

Available today at the same price.

@pcshipp I do. I use VSCode with Claude Code

@terencebuilds That's great.

How you are doing mutation/fetching within Next.js App Router? My patter : Server Components use DAL functions for fetching, Server Actions for mutations, API Routes exclusively for webhooks. This seems clean but I wonder whether if you run into any troubles with this approach?

@matt__makes No of course not. I am just doing fullstack nextjs that why I asked

How do you stay motivated to keep building as a solo developer?

Some days I’m excited to work on my product.

Other days it’s really hard to even open the laptop.

Still trying to figure out how to keep showing up consistently.

What helps you?

Most AI agents fail because they have no boundaries.

Not a model problem. A structure problem.
