admittedly, i've not really cracked FE dev with LLMs at this point (and it's probably my big weakness). but, i'd heard somewhere that FE just isn't there yet - though i was suspicious of that claim.
i'm torn about sending screenshots to an LLM for debugging - seems imprecise. seems lossy, especially compared to inspecting the dom. however, it's always proved good enough (e.g. when messing with ratatui.rs and tui-pantry). similarly for web, maybe it's about decomposing into storybook. hmm. the next grand adventure i need to hack.
anyway, fascinating investigation of fable just automating that entire process and what it didn't automate, too.

- nimonian 4mo agoFable is really good at front end (Opus 4.8 is decent too) but it really needs a verification loop - it can't always infer the output from the code alone. Give it Playwright to check its work, and it'll generally do a good job. Also if you're using a framework, add to your CLAUDE.md to always rtfm before making changes!
