Let's be real, a lot of software developers are addicted to coding.
Now AI coders like Claude and Codex are forcing change, and it's causing some serious withdrawal syndrome.
I know I feel this way and it just became obvious to me.
This is genuinely mind-blowing.

How do you know if your app's UX is good or bad?
The answer is: The GIRLFRIEND Test.
LET ME EXPLAIN.
If your girlfriend isn't in tech, send her your app and ask her to use it.
Don't explain anything.
Just watch.
If she doesn't understand what your app does...
Or doesn't know what to do after signing up...
Your UX is bad.
But if she immediately understands what your app is about...
And knows exactly what to do after signing up...
Your UX is good.

it’s cliche and perhaps gauche to say “nobody knows what’s coming”. but that’s an understatement. nobody knows what’s already here
the avg person sees AI the same as it was 3 years ago - a moderately helpful chatbot. if you use gpt for recipes and search, your experience has not meaningfully changed since 2023
today the frontier is autonomous coding and agentic task completion. aka, the computer using the computer. this is impossible to explain to most people because they have no idea what code is or how computers work
I want to share a hint for instructions I learned from developers at one lab: never use the particle "no" in instructions. LLM doesn't work well with the particle "Not." If you write "Don't do this," LLM will do just that because you're focusing its attention on that specific directive. Sometimes it's better to write "Refrain from performing this action" or "Perform this action according to these rules."
