Regarding AI and the usefulness of chatbots, this quote perfectly sums up how I find value in using them in my day-to-day:
Cheap second opinions that are mostly right are incredibly valuable.
I’m on vacation for the next ten days, and the internet is occasionally going to be spotty. I’m also hoping to work on some side projects, which got me thinking about how I could do some lightweight, offline project management.
I’ve historically used Trello for managing my personal software projects because a simple Kanban flow fits my brain pretty well. I’d love to have something like that locally, but without a network dependency — and still with the option to sync when online.
A quick search online and in the app stores didn’t reveal anything promising. But then I remembered Obsidian has tons of plugins, and, sure enough, there’s a lovely Kanban plugin.
Ten minutes later, after exporting all of my Trello cards to a CSV file and then doing a little regex cleanup, I had everything migrated into Obsidian on my Mac. Just amazing. Nothing but text files, stored locally, and completely under my control. Why didn’t I do this sooner?
Things are moving so fast at work, I’ve completely given up tracking stuff digitally. Fallen back to physical sticky notes across three columns on a piece of poster board behind my monitor.
Today, on a lark, I uploaded a screenshot of an iOS app design from Figma to ChatGPT along with the following prompt:
Here is a screenshot from an iOS application. Please reply with SwiftUI code that would build the interface shown in the image.
I pasted the output, verbatim, into an iOS playground, and it worked. It wasn’t perfect, but it got me to about 80% in under a minute instead of an hour. I can’t share the design here, but the view contained multiple horizontally scrolling swimlanes stacked vertically, a static block of text beneath them, a navigation bar, and two buttons (with the correct SF Symbol icons!) pinned to the right edge.
