The weirdest flex right now is “I one-shotted this with AI.”

Cool. So can a stranger who types a similar sentence.

One-shotting means the output required zero judgment. Zero editing. Zero taste. You skipped the entire part that makes it yours. The work is everything that happens after the first result.

Current status

Testing my new setup to be able to post to my site, X and Bluesky at the same time. For a 2nd time.

Generative UI is getting hyped as the future of software and it’s starting to feel like “voice will kill screens” all over again.

If every user sees a different interface:

• How does support work?
• How do you write help docs?

People actually like standards. You learn one app and carry that muscle memory to the next. That’s not a limitation, that’s how humans work.

There’s also an assumption that users know exactly what they need and can articulate it clearly. We know that’s not true.

The sweet spot is probably 80% well-designed UI for everyday tasks, 20% AI for the long tail.

But that’s not the future of software.

That’s a good feature.

I pulled GitHub data expecting to see the AI coding boom.

Not much changed.

Until last month.

Last years AI helped us write code.

Now agents help everyone create software.

While exciting… I’m wondering when this feeling that you are missing out on things that you should be trying, learning or improving with the speed of advances in technology will stop.

Trying the /buddy thing in Claude Code, let’s see how long it entertains me 😅

I’m seeing people that were not used to build before are now overbuilding their prototypes / apps now. Hopefully they learn quickly that more is not better even now when adding new features feels like are free.
