I know people are saying ai can design but no matter how good the prompt is, it’s not as good as a human touch.

My favorite thing to do is create branding for businesses. I’ve gotten to create very distinct branding for multiple apps over the last weeks and I love the concepts I’m able to come up with.

And this is something that ai can’t get right either.

Here’s my hot take on opus 4.6, Claude new model

It’s still only as good as your own ability to think. AI can do the work, but you have to still do the thinking

I don’t know if I’m Just jaded, but it doesn’t seem to ever meet my expectation without iterations

Getting a night nurse was 10/10 worth it. My only regret so far was not getting a postpartum doula.

Pulling this off provides for the team and proves the new building model I made

All my devices are below 5% and I feel like this also reflects how I feel

That happy part was me lying. This shit gives me anxiety sometimes because I’m just sitting there like β€œwtf are you watching!” And never get a clear answer πŸ˜‚πŸ€£

It’s only funny after that moment of anxiety leaves

My moms favorite thing to do is to watch YouTube videos and tell me about it as she’s watching them

but she will never send me a link or tell me the name of the video or the channel

she doesn’t give enough details that I fully know what’s going on

But it makes her happy so I’m happy lol

I hate when I mass post typos 😭

It’s my only proof of humanity and I’m not using ai. There’s always a typo

It’s official and I can say I pull up off a partnership that will keep @techbychoice.org going

It’s felt impossible to navigate the nonprofit space with everything going so this is such a big win

Ok took some time to refresh myself on flutter and update my setup to do some testing for it too

Now that that’s out of the way I can jump back into building this out 🍾

Ai is a cool tool and I’m going use to improve my workflow and my skill set so if I want to raw dog code something I’ll have skill and then some to do it

Basically stay ready so you don’t have to get ready

I know just like I’m humans, ai will make mistakes and create bugs

That’s where and how I use my technical skills to find the bugs early

This has helped my patten recognition for prs and much more

Because I take the time to challenge the output, I spend hours go back and forth about the plan

I ask it to explain the concepts that are new to me

I don’t let ai think for me
