Site does look great. I’ve not used Claude Design. How much do you feel like you were able to give your own personal touch to it?

I ask as I see many vibe coded products that look well but are very generic. It signals vapourware to me. But honestly your site looks a cut above. Do you have a design background?

Also is the design system you mentioned public?

> So my customers will face a new wave of refreshed screens all over the place in coming days

How do you determine the changes to make?

Do you A/B test?

How do you measure success?

What is your product?

How many customers do you have?

The syntax proposals look fine. But I don’t feel they are needed. Lua is easy to write and grok. I default to using LuaJIT, and have never had an issue with the actual code. Integration with the Lua ecosystem is the problem. Fix the compatibility issues with LuaRocks packages and PucRio. That would be the best dev ex update in my opinion.

Yea, not sure what “written in rust” adds to this. I would have thought that you could get the same functionality with a few shell scripts and a package.json.

I agree, this is why the term Software Engineer is in italics or quotes throughout.

The article is rant written whilst looking back on a career in tech. The author is clearly questioning the legitimacy of the role, and whether or not he actually provided any value throughout his time as a “Software Engineer”.

Zed are doing a great job at making the exact things developers don’t want. It’s clear that their focus is on raising funding rather than making a great text editor.

Yes, I have nothing against Tailwind as a technology. My gripe is that you can now prompt an LLM “make a stylish homepage for my product” and they almost exclusively spit out this Tailwind template.

If that’s all the effort you are going through to make your brochure site, I can only assume the same care was given to the actual product.

So many software homepages use that tailwind template, or a variety of it. As soon as I see it, it suggests to me a poor quality/rushed product.

First thing I thought to do was add an emoji to the content. But it just shows the unknown char rectangle. I was hoping for magic, I guess.

“Accidentally recording” sensitive data is happening pretty much everywhere. Last year I was tasked with removing sensitive payment information that had been stored in an insurance company’s database as “call transcripts”. The automated system would state that the payment information would not be stored. It was in fact always stored…

Men that make sacrifices to serve.
