People burning tokens for the most beginner HTML/CSS problems and writing about it is concerning.
- simonw 4mo agoI dunno about beginner, I've been doing HTML+CSS for a few decades and I still find bugs where Safari differs from Chrome+Firefox pretty hard to figure out.
- NichoPaolucci 4mo agoWe are at the point where AI starts to seriously impact abilities. Sure, a 2 line CSS fix is the solution, but the human “behind the wheel” has already prompted 6 times and gotten 80% there. It’s been “easy” thus far. No shot they are going to FINALLY look at and edit the code. It’s just one more prompt and the agent will probably fix it, right? It’s wild. I’ve been in the situation. 80% into a project I COULD probably take over, but realistically? 2 more lines of me prompting could fix it, it’s too easy to avoid the hard work of understanding the code, logic, architecture, etc…
- AtNightWeCode 4mo agoWell the solution is incorrect. The problem seems to be that the css code does not normalize to box-sizing: border-box; among other things. The bad prompt by the author probably sent fable into the wrong rabbit hole
