Well this sucks...

I really like Tailwind and don't enjoy seeing layoffs due to lack of funding.

[Derek Drapp @Dmdrapp]

@ShawnBasquiat Indeed 😊

[Derek Drapp @Dmdrapp]

@matt_gray_ Agreed. Posting just attracts attention. Fixing the business structure creates longevity.

[Derek Drapp @Dmdrapp]

@csaba_kissi These are really cool! I've never heard of these! Immediate save!

Of the 5, do you have one that you really enjoyed or gained from the most?

[Derek Drapp @Dmdrapp]

@dr @big_duca 100%. Just stay on top of the game and learn the why behind the code. It'll still be a much needed position. How else is the tech industry going to grow? Somebody has to keep innovating.

[Derek Drapp @Dmdrapp]

@adamdotdev I'd personally like that. It feels like there's a lot of fluff and promotion going on, but I'm genuinely curious about all of the pros and cons. Also just real world experiences that doesn't sound "salesy"

[Derek Drapp @Dmdrapp]

Is everybody using @Netlify these days? Seems much simpler than Azure for me. Want something smaller for quick builds on mostly static sites.

[Derek Drapp @Dmdrapp]

@VadimStrizheus @SomethingxAes How are you doing so many? Are you just adding value to anything you see or responding just with a thought like this one?

[Derek Drapp @Dmdrapp]

@thedankoe I agree. Any idea without action will always stay an idea.

[Derek Drapp @Dmdrapp]

@orcdev @shadcn THIS!

[Derek Drapp @Dmdrapp]

@codewithDiyaa I think the problem that we'll end up facing later is that the code isn't being reviewed and we'll have bad code everywhere. There still needs to be innovation and AI can't do that.

[Derek Drapp @Dmdrapp]

@geoffreylitt As long as you're vouching for the work, I don't see a real need to credit it, unless someone asks. I agree with some of the comments. You don't credit your tools for any other project unless you want to promote it.

The end user won't care about that. They just want it to work.

[Derek Drapp @Dmdrapp]

@aryanlabde I think it is still hard. Development of any kind requires forethought and knowledge of what you're making. Marketing is also difficult and equally important.

[Derek Drapp @Dmdrapp]

@motionbynick I was about to give my two cents until I looked in the comments. Thanks for the laugh!

[Derek Drapp @Dmdrapp]

@big_duca I don't think your efforts are "wasted" as you say.

Rather, I think it allows you to use those skills on the harder challenges. When you're looking at the code, is there something in there that doesn't make sense or could be improved?

AI is just repeating old code.

[Derek Drapp @Dmdrapp]

@WithWaleedSabir The left feels more premium. The green and gold look good, but seem a little too flashy.

[Derek Drapp @Dmdrapp]

All of that to say, I don't think this will replace engineers. This will just allow us to work on the actually hard stuff that hasn't been easily solved. Just so long as higher ups don't think it'll solve all of our problems.

[Derek Drapp @Dmdrapp]

Actually tried codex yesterday. I was able to build a fully functioning react native page with most of the features I wanted already working.

[Derek Drapp @Dmdrapp]

Now I'm not a react native developer. I have been interested in learning the framework which is why I chose it. I still need to review the code, but to be able to do all of that within an hour is pretty wild.
