Same. I haven't written any code by hand in some time. Oh well. I guess I'm just doing it wrong.

Have you built anything public that folks can try out?

Not doubting but it helps to contextualize things

It's a startup for finding grants. We have california state, federal, non-profit and california city/county grants. My landing page absolutely sucks but if you sign up / upload some papers or make some search cards you'll like the experience.

I'm very excited to try out the new Qwen XL that came out recently for visual design. I could really use some better communication to users of the capabilities of the platform.

Landing site is completely broken on Safari, iOS 26, stable channel, iPhone 17 Air

A lot of content is off-screen, and can't be swiped back on-screen.

Actual app did let me theough the flow, but had things like dialogs staying open and covering content (I assume a non tech person would have missed them)

I think part of the AI gap right now is the UI/UX you're expecting. AI isn't able to meet the bar for UI work for me at all right now. I do use it via Tab completion, or chat for specific scaffolding, but the agentic form is rough

There are so many people en masse who simply cannot accept that the days of coding manually, by hand, could be coming to an end. It's wild.

I want them to come: I'm good at product and have 101 competitors I'd smash on distribution and product with my army of coding agents.

But you're inventing the strawman that anyone who thinks the AI isn't there yet is in denial... some of us just have a higher bar than tailwind slop.

(Ironically I think SWEs most impressed by current agents are really done for... no niche non-tech knowledge to translate into novel software. But also don't have great taste/product sense: otherwise no one would have to point out that the UI/UX is not good enough.)
