this thread is crazy.. hackers are clearly hacking, myself included. A lot of what I've built I've already seen here:

1. home automation, access point management, solar/battery health monitors

2. family week management with schedules, todo's, scripture of the week

3. page-to-pod (browse, click one button, TTS to podcast episode on my phone)

4. daily summary of AI news to a new pod episode on my phone

5. easy theme switching from light to dark on my mac

6. and more....

what does this mean about the future of software? looks like consumer software will be "instant and on demand".

These are all very neat things and I’m very pleased to see the hacker spirit move into AI, but I gotta admit - some of this just comes across as “what did you print with your printer?”

Another recent thread mentioned that AI has helped devs build better “shop jigs.” This seems to be where the rubber is meeting the road for AI-powered development. So maybe more people will be developing custom tooling for their own little problems but you still need reliable, deterministic, interchangeable tools to realize the value of all these shop jigs.

how did you do the family week management stuff? i am building out a knowledge base/communication layer first to be able to access more info through claude voice mode, but debating architecture still.
