CSS: The AI's Achilles Heel
- smahs 2y agoOn the contrary, I have found reasoning models (DS R1 mostly) to be very good at complex positioning and transition problems. They can't "visualize" anything, so can't design well unless you explain them well (which is the problem in design, most people have vague ideas but can't explain it well in CSS terms).
- sunami-ai 2y agoif you can explain it wel in css you might as well write it yourself :)

Giving write access to people who depend on LLMs (as in "can do almost nothing without it") is a recipe for disaster. Even giving write access to a junior is less scary than that, in comparison.
- mubou 2y ago> people who depend on LLMs (as in "can do almost nothing without it") This is what makes me afraid for the future of software development. Even in this thread you see people saying they "don't write css and just let the ai do it." I don't think I could work for a company where the devs don't understand the language and just have chatgpt poop out blocks of code until it works, but we're starting to see exactly that now. And worse: they're proud of it. It's terrifying.
- einsteinx2 2y agoIronically I feel like these are exactly the programmers that are actually at risk of LLM agents replacing their jobs in the near/medium term.
- arvinsim 2y agoI don't blame developers treating CSS like a target language for AI to generate. Most sites are just CRUD. Unless they are working on a site that requires creative styling, people just want to get it over with and work on the "real" problems.
