CIRCLE WITH A DOT

@samueljohnson By the way: I made myself clear twice, regarding what my primary concern is. I re-read myself to be sure of that. So I can't help but start to wonder if you are deliberately missing the point here. I hope not.

See this?

Attached: 3 images I created my *FIRST* Android app in less than an hour! Shockingly simple... considering I'm nowhere near being a "dev." Every NFC management app on Android looks like it was designed by a toddler. I thought: so, why not build my own?! Couldn't look worse. After a few iterations, I have not just a viable Android app - but a web app with a lot of feature parity as well: https://arcade.pirillo.com/nfc-maestro.html https://github.com/ChrisPirillo/NFC-Maestro #ai #android #vibecoding #app #software

I have concerns about almost everything there. Serious ones.

@samueljohnson A lot could be discussed about the process to create a actual font (I have no clue regarding how this software works, how much ressources it uses and whether or not it could be done differently) but that is not the point.

I am, though, firmly against building anything with so-called "vibecoding" (and being proud of it), thus contributing to destroy our hability to survive as a species. The waste of ressources for that is very real. This is developer lazyness destroying the world.

@samueljohnson

You completely miss the point. Whatever use cases you can find for these fonts it doesn't address the problem of creating a software using AI. **THIS** is the point.

As you pointed out, this kind of tool exists since almost forever, I remember using some probably even before the Y2K bug stuff. There were no LLM back then. Developing software means doing your bloody job (yes, even if this job happens on your spare time and then given for free). Is it tedious? Yes. So what?

@ChrisPirillo

I am sooo glad that our entire ecosystem is being destroyed for something absolutely impossible to avoid such as... check notes... bad handwriting fonts.
