Last night was a miserable one sleep-wise so I was up quite early. At any rate, I decided to try out Claude Code and it was a disaster. I am going to see if I can get my money back. Obviously, Claude Code has a ways to go before it is really going to be useful to me. ChatGPT, on the other hand, works quite well. Thankfully, Claude Code refunded my money. That makes me feel better.
It’s quite possible that ChatGPT could be ready for prime time use. I’ve used it to do design a logo for me so I don’t see why it couldn’t give me the skeleton of a theme for WordPress that I could potentially build on. Claude and Grok failed fairly miserably on that front. So at least I kind of have a project for today. But I totally forgot and realized that before I even get to a website phase, I need to consider content layouts and the like.
Thankfully, SCORE has a free recorded webinar on this subject. I know I am eager to plunge ahead but I realized that I am trying to run without walking first. I need a careful plan, preferably a business plan first. I don’t really want to throw up anything half-assed. I want it to look good but I definitely both want and need a plan for the website so that it looks good.
On a more concerning note, I learned yesterday that Uber will be trying out Waymo, a self-driving autonomous vehicle, in my market area which is the Greater Philadelphia area. Why is it that corporations are hell bent on replacing people as a strategy? What happens when most of the population is unemployed and cannot afford the services offered? Do Uber and Lyft collapse? Who really knows and can predict anyways.
It may be time to think about a more sustainable business. I was kind of hoping to fund my business ideas through contracting with Uber for a bit. Unfortunately, this is looking substantially less attractive right now. I was even looking at financing a vehicle through one of Uber’s programs but I just think that is too much of a risk to take at this point. I have to re-crunch some numbers but Uber’s rates have really gone down.
