OK so... I had Fable 5 "Mythos" create me a robust plan for my codebase, 5.5 GPT disagreed with 70% of it. Agreed with 30% ish. This alone tells me Fable is not all they're cracking it up to be. More tests to come though.

🤣 finally someone smart

The problem is not that AI-generated UI is bad. The problem is that it has no durable obligation to stay good.

After 25 years of building UIs, here's something I don't think enough of us admit: We're all building the same apps. Even moreso with AI. Portals, SaaS dashboards. E-commerce flows. Portfolios. Settings pages. The same dozen archetypes, dressed slightly differently. And we're all hitting the exact same wall with AI: By prompt 10, the LLM drifts. By prompt 20, it's a wrecking ball. No RAG architecture, hooks, plugins, skills, agents nor clever context window, no "you are a senior engineer" system prompt actually fixes it. The model forgets your design system. It takes liberties . It narrows. It Ships three different button variants in one component. Soooo….👇👇👇 I built Decantr.ai. Decantr.ai is a side project I built because I got tired of watching AI deviate from instruction for the millionth time while building UIs. Instead of trying to fight with the LLMs I tried to design a way to flow with them. Here's how it works —its a contract— plain and simple: Idea → Spec → Patterns → Your AI/LLM codes → Decantr Guards catch drift. A UI “AI” design intelligence layer between your app and the AI. I realized I was fighting against the AI to make it work how I wanted instead of working with the LLM the way it wanted to work. So.. with Decantr… 1️⃣ You describe what you want to build 2️⃣ Decantr writes a design spec your AI can actually read 3️⃣ It pulls proven blueprints, archetypes, patterns from the registry (or adapts to your existing Brownfield existing app and stack). 4️⃣ Your AI generates the code (Cursor, Claude, Copilot, Angular, React, Svelte — your stack, your call) 5️⃣ Guard rules & processes block drift before it ships No new IDE. No new chat box. No lock-in. Decantr doesn't care what you build with. We care WHAT you build. It isn't Lovable, or Wix, or Google AI Studio. It doesn't create and ship your app for you, and it's not meant to. It lets you still be an engineer, a designer and build the apps you want to. Decantr generates the contract that makes whatever tool you already use generate it better — and stop drifting. If you want to scaffold a new product, Decantr offers a free official and community registry for your next project. Have a monorepo? Decantr fits right in, and works with all your DevOps pipelines! You can scaffold new sites at scale, or just continue to refine and protect your existing ones. 100% MIT licensed. Free, forever. GitHub → github.com/decantr-ai/decant… Registry (official community) → registry.decantr.ai Opening to contributors soon — drop a comment or DM if interested. All feedback negative or positive welcome. If you're interested in starting a project on Decantr feel free to reach out to me for more info, or visit the git repo and try it yourself. Thank you all for reading and Happy coding!

Start your next project with Decantr. Create your own airbnb site? Try our new Two-sided Marketplace blueprint. Run one command: npx @decantr/cli@latest new hostly --blueprint=two-sided-marketplace --yes Once it's done, just paste the provided prompt into your AI of choice.

This is why it matters that you still need to know how to code. Full stop. Claude Opus 4.7 spent 33 PRs troubleshooting a PADDING CSS issue. It tried to refactor my codebase in large scale component changes, typescript, refactors, handrolls. Nightmare stuff. I watched it spiral almost repeatedly. The root cause was a SIMPLE reset it introduced in the beginning *, *::before, *::after { box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0; padding: 0; } Had I not known simple CSS rules -- it would have introduced a devastating series of PRs to my codebase.

Try scaffolding our new UI Blueprint - Obervability Platform! 1. npm install -g @decantr/cli@latest 2. decantr new my-app --blueprint observability-platform --yes

Does anybody find that the "Weekly" Token budget on Chat GPT feels imbalanced? I feel like it takes forever to hit my 5 hour balance in GPT 5.4 even on 1.5x speed? However I'd say Claude / Opus feels more balanced in that I hit my hourly caps before I hit my weekly caps more frequently

It's not your fault you're building "AI slop". It's not a skill issue. It's an LLM issue. Decantr.ai is the first of its kind. MIT licensed & 100% free, ensures your UI project reduces drift, and adheres to governance. github.com/decantr-ai/decant…

Any UI developers willing to build a new project or add to existing project using @decantrai ? React, Angular, Vue, it doesn't matter "what" you build with. It's MIT license/ 100% free. github.com/decantr-ai/decant… Also offer high quality blueprints to start with, all free.

As an engineer..vibe coding is a gold mine. Not because we can do it. But because we get to watch others do it 🤪🤪🤪🤣🤣

You have to wonder why so many people who are building these AI apps without first asking the AI... "is there a market for this, or am I building slop?"

The single greatest thing about AI is not coding faster, increasing productivity, or building things quicker. It's the feedback loop. Getting information in a fraction of the time is the game changer. The paradigm shift is the feedback loop. Full stop.

Has anyone noticed Opus 4.6 experience a noticeable shift in quality /performance ? It shifted to medium thinking, I changed back to high thinking. It still feels significantly less thinking/conversational. It straight up ignores some of my requests too?

Any junior, senior or principal ML, LLM, DD/ETL, AWS, Azure, React angular rust Java c Python engineers want to form a Union and triple our salaries ? They need us for AI Supremacy. They can't do it without us. I'm not kidding. Msg me. Watch how fast the industry buckles with AI when CEOs don't have engineers to quality gate. Protection from mass layoffs, bullshit contracts? Needs to happen. Other industries have it so why not? Let's talk? Engineers should unionize.
