So you iterated on the design but not on the code? You have to do with the code what you did with the design. Review, adjust (or ask AI to adjust), rinse, repeat.

I've found that Claude can write code that's on par with what an average SE can produce, but you have to guide it. Write instructions, but also ask it to propose and assess multiple options, even ask it to run a code review and refactoring every so often.

Yes, the code is unlikely to be approved by Linus Torvalds, but so is the code that's made by many humans that is still merged and shipped.

Similarly naive outsider, but I've read things here and there. My understanding is that they should have declared mayday (emergency) and landed (potentially at another airport, potentially in the middle of nowhere) _way_ before so that when they have landed they still had 30 minutes or more of fuel in the tanks.

I own Lightroom 4.0 from 2012 (that's 10 years ago). It doesn't have the latest features, but it's still a very capable RAW processing software. I don't use it anymore because I've subscribed to the current Lightroom. I've subscribed last year, because (finally!) the new features were compelling enough for me. The old version still works well, even on latest-ish macOS. It still produces great pictures now, as it did 10 years ago.

10 years is not that long ago. In computers and software the difference between 2022 and 2012 is not as big as it was between 1992 and 2002.

I have an M1 macbook pro with 16GB of RAM and that website is not stalling, but it's horrible nevertheless.

I thought the same when I upgraded from my 2013 13 inch (with SD slot) to 2020 M1. Turns out it's a lot less convenient. As a camera user, it's so simple to just pull the SD card out of the camera and plug it into the MacBook. But now I just plug the camera in with the cable, even though I have the usb SD reader.

Canada's immigration system is built around the immigrant as a person. The US immigration system is built in the colonialism mindset, where the immigrant must fill a need of a US actor - a company (Employment-based), or a US citizen (family-based).

The internet access is largely recognized as utility. The internet services (email, hosting, video sharing, messengers, cloud storage, etc) aren't really a part of that utility. Many ISPs offer some of their own services in addition to the access (@aol.com email anyone?), but that can cause issues if the user moves to a location where their old ISP is not available, or if ISP goes bust.

Operationalizing an application within an enterprise is its own challenge, and it's adjacent to the creation of said application. There are many custom business applications that were not operationalized even when they were written well, covered all requirements, were tested and accepted. Oftentimes the businesses and vendors have no idea how to get from "the app is ready" to "the app is in use" state.

Without details it's hard to tell if the problem truly was in the app complexity, or because the "non-technical BAs" did not receive proper training, or because of something else.
