I shared a well-thought vibecoded app on ShowHN last month. It took a few hours to get POC and two weeks to fully develop a product to meet my requirements. Nobody cared.
Just returned from Malaga in Spain. The EasyHotel we stayed in had frosted glass cubicle for the toilet and shower. But there were huge gaps in between. Haha!
It takes an evolution for humans to adopt VR. We are not hardwired to wear an headset or glasses at all times. VR does have some nice use cases, mostly in industrial/enterprise setup, but not in day-to-day life.
The cost issue is similar to the bandwidth issue faced by YouTube in its early days. It took a while for countries across the world to get high speed internet. As technology advances, the cost to generate video using these models would go down significantly and perhaps the quality of the generated video would also be better than what it is today.
React is the automatic target for a lot of newbies. They jump straight into webdev, learn some HTML/CSS and eventually work their way towards React for employability.
This has been the trend largely for last 3 to 4 years with the candidates (<5 yoe) I have interviewed. I probe them on core fundamentals of Javascript, HTML and CSS. When I get to the nuances, most of them outright call it out saying that they are React developers and do not do Javascript without realizing the fact that React is based on Javascript. And other common misconception is that they assume JSX works the same way while writing the vanilla Javascript code.
The only challenge is a proper description. Some comments go by "Here you go: <link to pdf>" without much description of its content. But it is a good idea. I will try to figure out something.
I stopped posting photos on Instagram. It takes a lot of effort to compose a good shot, process the RAWs and upload them. The interaction rate has gone down considerably. A decade ago, people genuinely commented on photos and provided feedbacks. Like counts has gone down as well. It feels discouraging to post photos with such less of a interaction and feedback. I don't care about the likes, but the platform that originally built to share photos no longer values them. Photos are replaced with stories, reels and ads. The influencers are pushing all sort of crap that gets boosted by the algorithm.
The problem is not everyone thinks and acts the same. For many a single-use straw is a matter of connivence. They are minuscule in form but the volume of trash produced outweighs the rest.
Even with cracked APK, there was no option to set the region to India. With that, the stats for US must have gone down a bit after users switched their region to India.
That's not a bad number to start with! I have used Apple Music, Amazon Prime Music, Google Music, Saavn and Gaana etc. They all differ from one another in terms of collection. Now I am using Spotify in India -- though at this point in time it lacks a collection of regional music and playlists, it still has the better interface and options to use it across different devices compared to others. I guess once Spotify curates better regional music, it will have an edge over other services.
