Totally agree.

Have you considered becoming a residential electrician? Good job, pays well, lots of problem solving, and it won’t be replaced with an AI. I’m serious!

A lot of the trades involve physical work, can be seasonal, and ride the construction cycle up and down. The employers tend to be small, and many are family owned, so they are "off the radar" of OSHA and EEOC. You may be at the mercy of bias and nepotism.

The trades are great, but not a panacea. Maybe emigrate to a country with better conditions for the working class.


I’d go with physical therapy! Or something else that’s closer to humans and health. “Problem solving” becomes that much more tangible and directly meaningful to another person

chatgpt can already do a big part of this job since most of the "therapy" needs to be self directed. So consult the AI and have it tell you what you need to do.

I have. Or general well rounded construction worker who knows how to build all aspects of a house. A full stack builder.

Have you?


DIY’er exclusively but if my thesis is wrong it sounds like an interesting backup.

That “likely” is doing a lot of work, especially in mission critical software.

It's a $650,000 car. These are not anyone's top priorities with it.

We already have Soylent

1984 was as much (or more) about Stalinism and totalitarian tendencies in 1948 as it was a cautionary tale about the future.

Also a lot of criticism of the UK at the time.

The actual Ruby for Good website has more information: https://rubyforgood.org/

Sadly Ai generated. Bummer.

No signs of being AI-generated, and considering several parts of the [codebase of the website](https://github.com/rubyforgood/rubyforgood.org) haven't been touched since before ChatGPT was released, I think you might be barking up the wrong tree.

The apparent founder has replied by saying they ‘just updated today with AI’, but the comment seems to have been deleted since. Not sure whether it was supposed to be serious or ironic. Maybe the latter, since the last commit is two months old. Or maybe the repository hasn’t been updated yet.

Yes, I did comment, sorry for the confusion. And the person who made the comment isn't crazy. We have another branch, claude_design, that was deployed briefly for some folks to look at and review and when he looked at the site it was the brief window that it was deployed. On the off chance that you have a better design sense than claude, love feedback/help on the new design -- and a PR ;)

Please stay off the AI. Leaning hard here sends the opposite message to what you’re intending. Seems the event is trying for say people matter more, lean into that.

Actually looking at it on mobile I see a few issues. Scroll on mobile interferes with the slider. Also some of the font sizes are too large and overflow. Is the source repository public? Or was the request for a PR hyperbole?

Edit: I see it was posted a few comments up.


Honestly Claude is not great at front end design. So it’s more than an “off chance”. That being said I think the site looks fine.

Give it time. Claude front end design will be the default soon as more bottom three quarters devs just vibecode it out.

Opus 4.6 and 4.7 can probably come up with something better than most open source contributors, given a few iterations.

We should figure out how to get more designers contributing to open source.


I'd love to see a comparison with other spec-driven development tools for Claude, like OpenSpec and Superpowers. How does this compare and contrast with them?

I think those tools would be good as well. The point of sddw for me was to be able to adjust sdd to typical size of your projects. GSD was great but probably for gigantic projects only. For mid - its overkill of tokens.

I see what you did there.
