I do not disagree, where does it stop though. We would have to go back to when Homo sapiens and Neanderthals killed each other.

In that context America should be given back, Alaska should be given back, Australia should be given back... the list goes on.

I think that teams will get smaller but their will be more products.

Yes we can vibe code, but they all look the same and have no users.

The edge will be well thought through designs and experiences that keep users sticky.

We are yet to fully embrace wearables such as glasses and robotics. These will both create whole industries.

I am not worried about my job as long as I keep learning.

If you really want to see Demis shine watch The Thinking Game (on Deep Mind YT channel).

Personally I feel that good UX and well designed platforms are going to be key to separate startups from the vibe coded app.

Nothing wrong with using Claude Code or Loveable but I am yet to see something truly beautiful and unique from them yet.

This is so relevant for me at the moment.

Built a product about 12 months ago, pivoted slightly about 6 months ago.

Had some decent traffic but it has been a serious grind.

I'm doing a few more tweaks to the product then I am going to leave it running in the background for a while.

I need to build something that solved a real genuine problem

That makes more sense now :D

Alterdd | Lead Engineer (First Hire) | London/Cambridge, UK | Hybrid | £60k + Early-stage EMI Equity

Alterdd is building the fit intelligence layer for fashion. Currently, brands lack structured data on how their products actually fit real customers, making it a massively costly problem. We are fixing this by helping brands understand their fit so they can sell clothes that fit correctly the first time.

We are looking for our first technical hire to take full ownership of our engineering, moving our technology from prototype to production.

Why this role is interesting:

This is specifically designed as a bridge for a hungry Senior Engineer who is ready to step up into a Lead role. If you want the autonomy to build both the product and underlying systems from the ground up without waiting for direction, this is your shot to earn that Lead title. You will work directly with the founder with zero layers between idea and execution.

What you will do & stack:

- Design and build scalable systems across frontend, backend, and data layers. - Stack: Full-stack applications using TypeScript, React, Node, Python (or similar). - Data: PostgreSQL , building pipelines to ingest product feeds and fit data. - Integrations: Embedding our tech into e-commerce platforms like Shopify. You will need to design systems that handle highly inconsistent product and sizing data across different brands.

Working style & Interview: Hybrid working (2-3 days a week in person) in London or Cambridge. The interview process is fast and respects your time: one online technical interview, followed by one in-person interview with the founder.

To apply, please reach out to tech[dot]jobs[at]alterdd.com

Why though... what benefit do I get for that $1.99

Jack, not sure why but I love your writing / site.

Reminds me of the good old days of the internet.

I also migrated to Starlink recently and quite like the service so far.

I told it I was in the UK, returned prices in Dollars.

I am sure there are others things but that was my first obvious thing.

Personally I don't see this taking off. Apple teaming up with Gemini should be a game changer.

Apple won't let OpenAI muscle in on the AirPod business.

Thoughts?
