Diff mode was a game changer, having targeted code amends rather than full file rewrites and so removing regressions.

You mean the stadium survey sampled more reds? That does not == city fan population. Pretty sure this was strategic to show the wider city was behind the development too.

For designers, it’s a great way to get a deeper understanding of relationships between dB’s, APIs and how this can impact user experience but most importantly, it super-charges prototyping.

Once I started wiring up APIs, databases, and making things data-driven… I missed working with a good dev. Using Claude as your “CTO” helps a lot, plus ChatGPT for strategy.

AI’s good at scaffolding the basics but unsurprisingly needs more and more prompting/hand-holding as complexity increases.

Seeing a functional full-stack app take shape relatively quickly from prompts was really exciting, startups and internal R&D teams will flourish having these tools to validate quicker/fail fast etc.

Vibe coding is amazing. I’ve been using @boltdotnew to see how far I can go with AI to build a full-stack app. No upfront UI design, just product strategy and UX to hack together climatesurvey.co.uk that gives house owners/hunters a view on property climate risks. So far..
