Vibe coded my parents' TV this afternoon!
It was showing a sponsored ad before you could even get to Netflix.
Gave Claude Code the model number, it found the TV on wifi, removed 25 Xiaomi packages and wrote a new launcher.
Looks like an Apple TV now lol
I think 99% of design is just about commitment to the bit. Like if your brand is kinda weird just lean in and own it.
Itโs the wishy washy middle managers that eventually cause the downfall of a brand.
Conviction is everything.
@2sraval Consumer internet often requires deeper understanding of user stories and culture.
For me, b2b provided clear goals (qual. + quan.), whereas b2c is much harder in discovering the right problems.
Recently, I think technologists are making the mistake of trying to jump directly to the mainstream (humane etc).
The mainstream is surprisingly less ready to adopt new technology than technologists are to build it.
Computers, the internet, smartphones. They all evolved by first serving the nerds, having a precursor that was useful but hard, and then more easy to use versions appeared and gradually usage expanded to everyone else.
We will see but when it comes to consumers, I think productivity and efficiency is a hard sell.
