Excited to share some of our progress, defining the state of the art in generative AI for building design and construction. Our building design agent orchestrates a one-shot translation from any sketch or floor plan image to a robust 3D model, cost estimates, documents, and more

My team is hitting the usage limit for @claudeai Team plan at 150 users, our option is to keep Team with user cap or move to Enterprise which has no option for Max plan, crushing eng team. I guess OAI is a better option at our scale, anyone else dealing with this?

@KisaDawid We work with homebuilders and building materials suppliers/distributors and have seen strong adoption for the tools in both domains. If the capability solves the user problem and provides workflow for closing gaps in automation, adoption follows.

@makeHouses This looks impressive! Honest question: why do you think it is still so hard to get real adoption from construction teams for tools like this? Is it a tech problem, or more about trust, workflows, and how decisions are actually made?

I really don't understand tailwind, all it did is make everyone inline styles & everything becomes bifurcated inlined styles. It's full blown anarchy there's nothing blocking people from doing shit thats gross in one place, I have to write eslint rules to not descend into chaos.

@EHuanglu The next step is trying to figure out how to bridge this with constructible drawings and not just design-based

@PaulRBerg This can be very annoying. Better if the first 50 chars were shown inline (helpful if multiple pastes) and treat the pasted text as an object that can be deleted. As of now, you can partially delete the paste text, does this remove the content??

This is the most annoying thing in Claude Code. Hiding raw text when you paste more than 4 lines. Terrible UX decision.

@shadcn Have you tried recording your feedback on what you consider overthinking as a skill and then iterating on it? Codex is meant to be driven and you can fill up context without degrading performance. It is a good model

Been trying to make Codex work for me but it overthinks everything, even simple stuff. Tried different reasoning levels, no difference. It just tries too hard. Good at reviewing others work though.

Cursor internal analysis shows how hard Anthropic is subsidizing Claude Code. Last year, a $200 monthly subscription could use $2,000 in compute. Now, the same $200 monthly plan can consume $5,000 in compute (2.5x increase).

@jsondowns @Forbes I prefer Cursors IDE, haven’t opened up vscode in 2 years. It was shaky for a while but stabilized over the past few months

@makeHouses @Forbes True but a big part of their appeal was the vscode fork, devs like myself back in 2023 who would have been nervous about switching were put at ease that we could keep all our custom settings and extensions etc. But now it feels like their editor is barely holding up w duct tape.

On January 5, employees at Cursor returned from the holiday weekend to an all-hands meeting with a slide deck titled “War Time.” After becoming the hottest, fastest growing AI coding company, Cursor is confronting a new reality: developers may no longer need a code editor at all.

@james_reyes @Forbes We are mostly using Cursor as an improved VS Code UI but usage-based spend is going down as the subsidized plans from OAI/Claude are ramping up. Those who prefer a terminal experience / ergonomics are trending towards OpenCode

@makeHouses @Forbes Interesting - are your devs working out of the native terminal app and spinning up a bunch to parallelize work?

Berkeley CS grad with $174k in debt just had her third offer rescinded 48 hours before start date First one was "headcount freeze due to market conditions" in March Second was "role eliminated during restructuring" in July Third was "converting to AI-augmented position requiring 2+ years experience" last week Her entire graduating class of 312 CS majors? 18 have jobs. Actual jobs. The rest are fighting over unpaid internships or applying to McDonald's management programs Talked to her advisor yesterday - department placement rate dropped from 94% in 2022 to 11% this year Professors still teaching algorithms and data structures like companies aren't just buying AI APIs and calling three offshore contractors One kid spent his entire senior year building a recommendation engine for his capstone Found out his "dream company" replaced their entire ML team with two Anthropic API calls and a contractor in Hyderabad who makes $18k annually Career center stopped posting CS job openings in September Now they just send weekly emails about "alternative career paths" and coding bootcamps for people with CS degrees The kids who got offers? All had family connections or took 60% pay cuts to work at startups that'll be dead by Q3 Everyone else is watching their $200k investment in computer science education become as useful as a journalism degree in 2010
