Have you already watched Doronichev’s interview with Dud’?
I relate to Doronichev’s positions on several points: techno-optimism, the idea of taking responsibility (“the probability of success is a function of the number of attempts” — you really can’t argue with that).
But perhaps the thing we agree on even more strongly is something small, and it goes like this: the hottest programming language today is English. Vibe-coding has created a future you should try as early as possible.
Do you know why I can now write posts in English for my website and in Russian for Telegram at the same time? All thanks to a single prompt, tuned just a couple of times. In short, it forces ChatGPT to take my Russian text, translate it into English while keeping my style (and yes, 95% of the time I could say it exactly like that myself — the other 5% come down to limited vocabulary), wrap it in the right HTML tags, and all I have to do is paste it into /folder/index.html.
Tools like Tilda or Wix, which until recently were the go-to “create a website without pain” option, are surely already feeling the heat. Their problem was the absolute lack of flexibility. ChatGPT lets me sketch a website structure, connect the styles I need, and write whatever’s missing in CSS myself. And this is ChatGPT, not Cursor! I literally don’t need to know anything; in the same chat where it translates my text, I can ask how to do something in cPanel — and do it in five minutes, instead of digging through a hundred messy StackOverflow answers.
But forget about just speeding up or simplifying existing processes. ChatGPT is a tool that lets me create new processes, solve new problems in ways I would never have tried before. For example, in my percentiles post from Monday, there was an error: instead of “in the bottom left” it said “in the top right” — which could seriously confuse readers. I couldn’t fix it when someone pointed it out, because editing posts from a phone is a pain.
I discussed the problem with ChatGPT and literally two minutes and 100 lines of code later, I had a custom admin panel that lets me edit posts through a convenient mobile interface. Yes, it’s still just an HTML editor, but I never thought adding an admin panel to a site without changing anything else in its structure would be just 100 lines of code.
The future is already here — it’s just not evenly distributed. Get your piece of it as early as you can, and let’s make the optimistic scenario a reality.
I also, without giving it much thought, added a scheduled posting feature to my admin panel. And I literally did it right after realizing that in one evening I had cranked out three posts, but wanted to share them later — not only on Telegram, but also on the website.
