It looks like Slidev is designed for presentations about software development, judging from its feature set. Quarto is more general-purpose. (That's not to say Quarto can't support the same features, but currently it doesn't.)

I'm not affiliated with Slidev. I was just curious.

It's not, to be fair.

> I use my own `.md` plan files rather than Claude Code’s built-in plan mode. The built-in plan mode sucks.

From Claude docs: Planning is most useful when you’re uncertain about the approach, when the change modifies multiple files, or when you’re unfamiliar with the code being modified. If this isn't true, skip the plan.

> smaller scale stories are replaced with moving the big plot forward

This is pretty common in TV shows, from what I've noticed. It takes a few seasons for a show to find its footing.

Does this products directly compete with GitHub Models [1]?

[1] https://github.com/marketplace?type=models

I think it makes use of GitHub models.

Nope, it uses Copilot CLI under the hood (with your token)

It uses Copilot, Claude Code or OpenAI Codex. Custom engines/coding agents also possible.

> It may be that like clothes, there's only so much need for software.

Clothing demand has increased greatly in the past decade due to fast fashion. Much of this clothing is designed to cost a few bucks, last a few wears, then get thrown out. It's an ecological disaster.

Maybe we'll see something similar happen with software — as production costs fall, trends will shift toward few-use throwaway software. I highly suspect this is already happening.

Sorry I meant -- only so much demand for people to produce clothing. the thesis "AI will not replace software engineers" could go the same way as textiles (or not). Massive demand for software, no need for developers. Same as I'm sure having AI art will probably increase the total consumption of art/music, but probably reduce the jobs for artists.

> trends will shift toward few-use throwaway software

software has worked this way since the rise of the internet and SaaS. consumers rarely need to install anything locally other than a browser.

I'm unfamiliar with all the changes coming soon. What would you need to refactor?

I don't know, hopefully not much! Just reading the article about IDEs using one version of typescript and builds using another, along with some incompatibilities. It raises concerns there will be some hiccups with various dev tools.

You would need to rerun the LLM, but you wouldn't necessarily need to rebuild the codebase from scratch.

You can provide the existing spec, the new spec, and the existing codebase all as context, then have the LLM modify the codebase according to the updates to the spec.

Perhaps not for much longer:

Japan Post is rolling out such a system: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44117779

Apple also does it via “hide my email”.

But that's just an identifier which you can easily update when you move, like a domain=>IP mapping? Businesses still have your physical address.

A system where they didn't get our address at all would be great but I think we would also need alternative payment providers that don't share any billing-related address information with the business.

I love this idea, but then doesn’t it create a centralized target for hackers?

I suppose that’s still better cuz then it also creates a centralized point and resources for securing the database.
