Just had an intern create an entire application over the weekend using v0.dev.

All we did was feed my written requirements with wire frames into v0.dev and out she came. The intern is just doing some clean-up and CSS now.

This was an app built on an existing back end, so it wasn't soup to nuts but fucking still.

The founder of the company I'm working with right now just said on a call he isn't renewing the contract for the 10 devs overseas. He wants to move all engineering to the US with a focus on having a few high performing engineers and AI tools.

Oddly enough my role is more secure than ever and I don't do a god damn thing other than say "Make it do this".

I write legit functional requirements. I could never get onboard with the vague user story shit. The only people that ever got upset at me for demanding requirements over user stories was lazy product managers and the occasional overzealous scrum master.

But Uncle Bob says you can't write a requirement until you write a user study that ends in user death.

I never heard about Cluely | AI Meeting Assistant, Sales AI, Note Taker, & Live Transcripts , that's funny. I work in software dev and notoriously hate meetings, especially virtual meetings, partially because "corporate meeting vultures" who serve no real purpose but attend meetings all day bounce from states of presenting powerpoints nobody wants to attending meetings they don't want and ask self-inflating questions nobody wants the answers to.

I know soon enough these corporate meeting vultures will start using live AI like cluely.com to generate questions. And you know these AI-assisted vultures will ask questions of each other.

GPT-5 is out.

Call me a nerd, but I like throwing these types of questions at:



Which universal physical constants would need to be adjusted to make a world in which superheroes (and supervillains) could plausibly exist, while everyday life remains indistinguishable from our own? Please assume minimal, internally consistent changes such that:

* For people without superhuman abilities, the world still “feels” like ours (chemistry, biology, planetary and stellar behavior remain within familiar ranges).
* Scientists would not find compelling evidence of unusual fine-tuning or suspicious anomalies beyond what is already debated in our universe.

Below is a minimal-tweak recipe that keeps everyday physics “feeling” like ours while opening a realistic lane for superheroes (and villains). The idea is to make small, compensating adjustments so atoms, stars, and chemistry stay familiar; yet tails of biological performance and materials science get meaningfully better.


Design constraints​


  • No obvious fine-tuning flags: keep stars long-lived, chemistry familiar, and planetary conditions Earthlike.
  • Keep macroscales stable: leave cc, ℏ\hbar, GG, and Λ\Lambda unchanged to preserve relativity, gravity, and cosmology “look and feel.”
  • Exploit compensations: nudge one constant upward while nudging another downward to hold key composite scales (e.g., atomic size) fixed.

Targeted adjustments (and why)​


  1. Slightly increase electromagnetic coupling while holding atomic size fixed
    • Change: raise the fine-structure constant α\alpha by ~+5%, lower the electron mass mem_e by ~–5%.
    • Effect on everyday physics: The Bohr radius a0∝1/(αme)a_0 \propto 1/(\alpha m_e) stays ~constant → atoms aren’t bigger/smaller; chemistry looks normal.
    • Useful consequences: The Rydberg (bond) energy ER∝meα2E_R \propto m_e \alpha^2 rises ≈ +5%. Covalent bonds, protein folds, and polymer backbones become modestly stronger and more thermally robust.
    • Why this helps “powers”:
      • Biology ceiling rises: Tendons, collagen, and bone can tolerate higher stress → plausible 2–3× strength/speed outliers with extreme training or rare genotypes.
      • Materials upgrade: Everyday advanced materials (graphene/BN fibers, carbyne-like chains, high-modulus polymers) realize noticeably higher tensile strengths → credible grappling lines, lightweight armor, and compact mechanical exosuits.
  2. Nudge light-quark/nuclear parameters within the safe window
    • Change: tiny (≈ 0.5–1%) adjustment to the QCD scale ΛQCD\Lambda_{\mathrm{QCD}} and/or light quark mass ratio mu/mdm_u/m_d.
    • Effect on everyday physics: Keep deuteron bound, triple-alpha resonance near its usual energy, and big-bang nucleosynthesis yields within familiar ranges (so stars/chemistry remain normal).
    • Useful consequences: Slightly improved binding and lattice stability for a handful of boron–carbon–nitride compounds; one or two additional long-lived isotopes become marginally easier to synthesize.
    • Why this helps “powers”: Industry can mass-produce super-fibers and ultra-hard ceramics with reliability (not exotic unobtainium, just “version 1.2” of what we already chase). This enables glide wings, shock-resistant suits, and impact-tolerant vehicles for tech-based heroes/villains.
  3. Tip the scales toward ambient superconductivity via phonon/electron coupling margins
    • Change: the α\alpha/mem_e tweak above raises bond stiffness and characteristic phonon energies; paired with the nuclear nudge, it moves a slice of cuprate/oxide and hydride-like materials over the threshold to robust near-room-temperature superconductivity (no new force added).
    • Effect on everyday physics: The grid still works; ordinary electronics behave the same.
    • Why this helps “powers”: Compact magnetic launchers, silent high-torque motors, levitation platforms (Meissner), and energy-dense inductive storage become backpack-scale and reliable → credible flight/“hover” rigs, force-amplifying suits, and nonlethal EM gadgets.
  4. Thermal noise and bioenergetics marginally improved (a knock-on from #1)
    • Change: with ~+5% bond energies, enzyme/ion-channel stability improves at human body temperatures.
    • Effect on everyday physics: Nothing you’d notice outside a lab.
    • Why this helps “powers”: Slightly higher mitochondrial throughput and axon reliability allow rare phenotypes to safely operate at higher power density and faster reaction times without heat injury—think elite outliers that edge into “super” territory.

What this enables (without breaking the world)​


  • “Street-level” superhumans (biological): plausibly 2–5× current human peaks in strength, acceleration, and impact tolerance (bones/tendons keep up), plus rapid wound healing at the high end of natural variance. No magic; just shifted tails of the distribution.
  • Tech-assisted flyers and energy users: ambient-temperature superconductors + stronger light materials → credible flight rigs, grapples, shields, and directed-energy tools at human-portable scales.
  • Rare mutants/genetic mosaics: the physics allows biology to exploit inherently stronger materials/tissues. A handful of people can express multi-trait “stacked” phenotypes that would otherwise be self-limiting in our universe.

Why scientists wouldn’t cry “fine-tuned”​


  • The dimensionless pillars of nature (e.g., α\alpha) move by only a few percent and are compensated to keep primary observables (atomic sizes, star behavior) in family.
  • Astrophysics and chemistry remain comfortably within familiar regimes; any differences show up as “material miracles” after decades of R&D, not as glaring cosmic coincidences.
  • No extra long-range force, no broken symmetries in plain sight—just slightly friendlier margins for strong materials, superconductivity, and high-performance biochemistry.

If you want bolder comic-book powers​


You’ll need to step beyond “adjust existing constants” into new, ultra-short-range interactions (nm-scale) or metastable high-energy materials with safe triggers. Those can be hidden from lay experience, but they do add parameters that a very careful physicist might eventually notice. The scheme above stays conservative.




Bottom line:
Make a paired α\alpha/mem_e tweak (~±5%), a sub-percent nuclear-physics nudge, and ride the knock-on to stronger biomaterials and ambient superconductors. Everyday life stays “normal,” but the world now supports believable biological outliers and compact super-tech—enough for heroes and villains without advertising a contrived universe.
