In building my own custom house cleaning software, I am now in the vast land of debugging. How long is normal to debug software now? 1 month? 6 months? Forever?

One of my first disappointments in AI is its design capabilities and one of the first solutions I ever found was Typst for digital typesetting. I rely on this so much in my VS Code setup that it is constantly evolving and getting better. I spent most of the week helping set up, organize, and finally do the finishing touches on an RFP for my main client. When you are collecting many different materials, they do not have the right page orientation, fonts, or feel inconsistent with the brand. I had four appendix items that I needed to create a cover sheet for, with this coming down to the wire: things changing, orders, and new things coming in at the very last minute. I was able to simply say, “I would like to feature a property in a certain style. Lay this out with my assets,” and my ICM knew where my brand assets were, where my brand layouts were, where my photos were, and how I would word them. I simply had to insert the pages and it took no time at all. I have posted about how much I love Typst before but I am here just to post this again :: learn digital typesetting

ArtCraft has released a set of open-source alternatives to the Adobe suite. I use Illustrator for some of my work, so I spent all day building an ICM folder structure to work with their new vector app, VectorCraft. The results are phenomenal. The ICM structure works perfectly. Once we'd worked it out, my agent and I vectorised a logo. The agent then wrote a markdown file on the process and added it into the folder structure.
