Serious question. How do you "try out" a library if somebody else (or something else) is writing the code? Thank you.

- simonw 11mo agoThe thing that matters for me when considering a new library is what it can do. Once I know that I can decide if it's worth learning how to use it at a code level. In the case of JustHTML I've now been able to try it against a few different HTML documents, seen it do good pretty-printing, played with its CSS selector implementation and got a feel for its event-based streaming parser. I'm very impressed! I think I'll be using it in the future next time I need an HTML parser.
- dotancohen 11mo agoI see, thank you. Until vibe coding came along, the ergonomics of a library were no less important than its functionality. But I understand how LLM assisted coding changes that perspective. I'll go tend to my empty lawn now.
