It looks awesome, great work @arjunarora108 @sherbondy !

The best advice I got was about how to stay focused as a startup founder. When I was an employee, I thought I was busy but I was 100% on top of my work. I had a system of reviewing my daily board, prioritizing tasks, scheduling blocks of my day, and getting focused work done. However, when I started my own company (which I'm still running @ui_licious), my system fell apart because there's way...

Oh my, the beloved classic refreshed! It has a headphone jack! And physical buttons!

A friend of mine showed me a creative use of ChatGPT to rewrite technical error messages into human-friendly error messages. It's very useful for engineers.

Uilicious (https://uilicious.com/) if you are tired of testing your websites and want to automate it. Or you could use it for RPA use cases, like buying your usual bag of coffee online from a store that doesn't have subscription options.

Thank you for writing and sharing your observations and thoughts publicly! Well put, I share the same sentiments but often find it hard to put to words when people ask me how can we invite more women working in tech to join online and offline communities. Men have ask me me why we even need to have women-only groups like Women Who Code, and collectively my female friends and I simply answer...

Well, we are working in the next major upgrades to @ui_licious TAMI, which we launched last month. TAMI is an AI that can generate working UI tests from simple text prompts describing abstract test scenarios. You can then run the tests within our online testing platform (Available for free at https://snippet.uilicious.com). We're currently working on TAMI 2.0 which is an interactive version...

My marketing team is largely using it for: 1. Researching topics - it's a lot faster than Googling 2. Rephrasing content - it's great for folks in the team who's English is not their native language, so this helps them rephrase boring facts and awkward phrasing into more engaging sentences. We still have a final review process by other members of the team to ensure that the writing is ...

I had too much fun with this tool generating backgrounds for my cat 🤣. But seriously well done, I hope to see all restaurants and cafes replace their sad and dull food photography using Pebblely!

I don't think SaaS will ever die off, simply because it the recurring revenue business model helps sustain the business and allow the business to continuously improve the product. And because of that, SaaS products will be far superior to off-the-shelf software that is sold once. Customers will also receive better support because businesses are incentivised to keep you around. This also makes...

I'm really impressed of it's ability to write simple code, it's like having an intern!

At @ui_licious, this is our current analytics tech stack: - Google Analytics and Hotjar for marketing analytics - MixPanel for product usage analytics - Segment to collect and stream data to different business applications to enable sales and support teams to get deeper understanding of individual customers - ProfitWell for SaaS business analytics Things we've tried but discontinued: -...

I think it would be very wonderful to have AI teachers on demand that can customise lessons to every individual. Not every student is fortunate enough to have good human teachers. While there are no doubt plenty of very smart human teachers who are great at their subject, but they are not necessarily good at teaching. In many countries around the world, there's a shortage of teachers. Many...

Coffee.

I think the use of low-code tools to build software and AI assistive tools to augment software engineers will increase. The demand for software engineers far outstrips supply by many many multiples. The US Labor Department estimates that the global shortage of software engineers may reach 85.2 million by 2030. Moreover, the cost to train and hire software engineers is getting more expensive....

If you are copying to a spreadsheet that's hosted online like on Google Sheets, you can give UIlicious a try: https://uilicious.com Disclaimer: I'm one of the makers of UIlicious. UIlicious is a online browser automation tool, mainly used for testing websites, but folks are often sharing with me creative ways they are using the tool to automate their lives, e.g. reordering their favourite bag...

I don't think it is necessary. It's like asking if a construction worker / painter / carpenter needs to have interior design skills. But that's not to say that it's not good value-add to bring to the table. A front-end engineer that have good eye for aesthetics and UX can spot design flaws during implementation and offer constructive criticisms to fix or enhance a design and help the company...

I would say both. But I lean into optimism that AI would bring a lot of good in many area where the work requires skilled professionals that are in short supply. AI can be a very powerful augmentation that assists humans in complex analytical tasks. For example, AI used to analyze medical images can help medical professionals identify areas of concerns more quickly. In the software industry,...

A common one I see in both my female employees and also candidates that I interviewed is that married women often don't get their own work space at home, and are often interrupted by their children, husband, in-laws. This happens way more often then male counterparts. I think women who work from home need to have a personal "do not disturb" work space with a lockable door.
