Thanks!

who use photoshop nowadays? we replaced Photoshop to Figma, and Illustrator & PPT with Canva 😅

Yeah, that's the whole point. You could generate block by block to create components. Or do whole pages as I did here. Your call.

Good question. I don't really have one. I looked at Saleor a while back, and Shopify of course. Normally the choice is already made. If I do merch it'll probably be either the merch vendor or Stripe.

@@jherr thankss

It's free! Give it a go!

@@jherr Thanks

you could use it at a micro level to generate the code and then refactor that code into a library component.

As with any career you have to adapt constantly. So if you are willing to do that, then I do think there are careers in tech long term.

Keep telling yourself that. Our jobs are at risk 100%

@@djcardwellai I can only comment on the stuff that I see right now, and that's definitely not threatening. The future might look different, of course.

​@@djcardwellai they really aren't, unless you're piss poor at your job.

​@@nickwoodward819that's cope... even if you're good at your job you're still at risk in the long term because AI will keep improving exponentially for many years to come

Nah. Still tons do to AFTER the conversion. And the conversions are never perfect with any of the tools I've tried.

My DMs on Twitter and Discord are open, but please do me a favor and start the conversation with "I'm so and so from the comments, wanted to talk with you about consulting." If you hit me up with just "Hello", I'm unlikely to answer.

@@jherr it is OK. ❤

MODEL UBUNTU ```bash cat src/app/page.tsx | node scripts/download-images.js | xclip -selection clipboard ``` MODEL WIN POWERSHELL (Not Tested) ```powershell Get-Content .\src\app\page.tsx | node .\scripts\download-images.js | Set-Clipboard ```

My guess is that there is a lot more to your job than laying out HTML and CSS.

True true. But it's all billable hours

​@@davestockley8174 trash approach to life

The fast mode is free, the Quality mode is pay for.

i don't think it's made for that, at the moment.

To actually develop the actual code that runs the page, connects to the services, does the responsive work, internationalization, etc. This just gets a lot of the grunt work out of the way. And maybe not even all the grunt work if the design is tough.

@@jherr You'll do it just once and AI will copy it instantly. You can only be so creative every time...

@@jherr since when has building UI been grunt work... this stuff scares the crap out of me.

@@davestockley8174 since when has "building UI" consisted of simply copy and pasting CSS values from Figma into VS Code? that's just a tiny fraction of "building UI" and I'm happy to see it automated since it can make it way faster to build UIs. "Building UI" to mean means way more than just styling some divs, it means adding interactivity, making it data driven from services, adding internationalization, accessibility, animations, routing, the list goes on and on. The demo pages that I showed here are only 20% done at best, probably less since the responsiveness is good, but probably far from what the customer would actually want. So, yeah, I consider that first part of copy and pasting values from Figma to VS Code trying to make it as close to "pixel perfect" as possible very much grunt work.

To using 3rd party and SaaS solutions

you've not used AI for any significant coding have you? it's a useful tool, it's no where near a replacement for devs. also, the cybertruck has been "real" for fucking ages. it's the fact that it's a joke that's the problem.

This is KZfaq, not X/ Twitter. You don't need to be a bluecheck Elon reply guy here.

​@@nickwoodward819 Common mistake: OP is talking about the future, not the present. AI in the future (less than 7 years from now) will definitely replace the vast majority of software engineers becaue it's a pretty easy job for an AI to do. We're not nurses or air conditioner repairmans. Software engineering is one of the areas with highest exposure to automation

@@Rensoku611 I understand what the OP was talking about, he said "if it progresses at this rate it won't be long before we all have to look for new careers", and I replied that it's "nowhere near a replacement for devs" - the implication being that it *will* be long because people have underestimated what it takes to write quality code. And LLMs by their very nature are not a suitable replacement for software engineers writing that code. They're not accurate or consistent enough, and who knows if they ever will be. They're a useful tool for suggestions, but not something I'd let stink up my code base without checking every line. And it's not going to be something embraced by project managers either. No one is risking their neck on an LLM with even the faintest chance of hallucinating

@@nickwoodward819 at least you've progressed to calling it a useful tool. About a year ago you were telling yourself it is a joke. Sounds like you're pretty butt hurt about the cyber truck delivery event tomorrow. Which part of the cyber truck is a joke?

That's why I went on to talk about componentization as something that is left for the UI developer to do.
