people who say front end is easy are telling on themselves. because sure, it can be, if your b2b saas site is just glued together shadcdn. in MY opinion front end is complex if you care about good ui / ux at all.. elegant data loading patterns, reactivity, speed

The danger of working in secret is inversely proportional to the simplicity and precision of the test. It would be safe to work in secret for a year on a new rocket engine. But if you work in secret for a year on a new social network, it will probably be a flop.

If you must operate without a designer then you should do what designers do: Copy the shit out of the apps you love. Find ones have solved similar problems. If you encounter a novel problem, look harder for examples. Study incumbents, old apps, Mobbin, etc.

imo the bottleneck for using LLMs today is “how do I give it the right context & feedback loop to do this well?” and not “can it do this?”

Sometimes I think I’m spiritually closer to a designer, maybe because I’m more of an idealist, more visual, more drawn to aesthetics and ideas. But I write production code for a living, so I guess I’m a builder at heart.

My take on whether there's an AI bubble: I use ChatGPT and Cursor regularly. They create real value for me. I’ll keep using them as long as they do. That’s it.

Airbnb launched multiple times, gas app relaunched multiple times after different names. You should take advantage that no one cares about your brand early on to relaunch again, it’s a feature not a bug and your ego is on the way.
