HugoDz··on Show HN: Destroy Any Website with Stickman
hey, maker here. I have no idea of this one, looks pretty cool! I've rolled out my stickman game here with deep care on everything, from DO multiplayer setup, to game-feel.
HugoDz··on Sam Altman says people don't want an AI to act as CEO
Of course... the day you can prompt "generate profits, make no mistake" and it works, it instantly stops working.

This is a tempting (and not completely false) shortcut, but often you don’t compete for customer’s wallets. For many companies, a lower price is often not the reason they switch.

They stay because of the time invested in the current solution, the integration in their pipelines etc.

Very cool! Sprite Fusion maker here :)
HugoDz··on A few random notes from Claude coding quite a bit last few weeks
Agree here, the code barrier (creating software) was hiding the real mountain: creating software business. The two are very different beasts.
HugoDz··on Your app subscription is now my weekend project
One only compete against his own costs.

If you need $1M/y in subscriptions to build your software, you'll be outcompete by solos who needs $60k/y and don't care about the 100% churn of a one-time fee.

This is simply market optimization when the marginal cost of producing the good falls.

HugoDz··on How to become a “designer who codes” (2019)
Coding is a must have tool for a designer
HugoDz··on Coding Jobs and GPT-4
GTP-4 acts as a reminder the value is not in programming but in the things you create with.

In an ideal world, you even not coding to achieve things that help others. Today it's required but it's not the point of a valuable product.

HugoDz··on Ask HN: What's your best resource for keeping up-to-date on AI developments?
Made this :)

HugoDz··on Growth of AI Through a Cloud Lens
Yeah! Do you know some great resources/papers about gpt models and robotics overlaps?
HugoDz··on Growth of AI Through a Cloud Lens
Interesting! Perhaps in the future, the default behavior (for mass market targets) will be to open the OpenAI mobile app and ask for anything. With plugins to perform specialized tasks?

I agree with you; the more time passes, the harder it is to differentiate from a generalist AI coupled with specialized plugins.

That said, it does activate a lot of opportunities to be part of this future plugin ecosystem.

HugoDz··on Show HN: My top watches for investing in 2022
As a watch enthusiast, I've always considered Horology as an art and a philosophy of a job well done.

So here are my favorites watches to consider for investing in 2022, your feedback is welcome!
