Opus 4.5 is definitely very good, but it still needs me for lateral thinking, taste, general product vision etc. It's liberating to be able to (finally) concentrate more on these aspects myself.

Google Antigravity is nice - but it needs Opus 4.5 and for it to be able to drive the browser too. Being able to read browser logs on the fly is a definite killer feature over vscode.

The weird thing is, computers are now getting more like humans. Like, you can be unspecific with them and they'll still understand your intent. And they're essentially tireless and endlessly supportive.
You could interpret that book title as how to deal with the emotional shortcomings of humans 😄

Or creative technologists into product designers.
I think one-person agencies can now provide a full service for clients (will talk about this in my upcoming Brighton Web Developers meetup presentation)

Marketplace is a very strong incentive to stay on Facebook. We've bought and sold quite a lot of stuff on there.

I think the branding is a bit of a turn-off for many though. Feels a bit "virusy"

I'm working on a project that uses this at the moment: visgl.github.io/react-maplib...

Yeah, it's great for SVG work. I've created whole clickable prototypes in Figma. They just acquired @payload.dev which I've been using for a while now too, so I anticipate some interesting developments there.

SVG icon manipulation was what got me using Figma in the first place. Funny that it's also a gateway to using code generation. Once you get comfortable using code generation, you realise you don't actually care about writing tailwind classes etc manually any more.

I've been doing a lot of SVG maps stuff recently. It's really compatible with Figma and "vibe coding". As a dev you feel no guilt using an LLM to generate it as you can't read it anyway. Have tweaked many icons that way.
