A clear miss from npmjs.org on that, but I'm trying to think of when I've ever used it as a primary source for what dependencies a package has, or really even... anything at all. I only end up on it if I'm in a hurry and acci

Wow, you still get responses? I usually get 3 or 4 more commits (I've seen some of these touch nothing but comments but have a typical LLM-brained commit message as if it actually changed the functionality the comments were about, and

HN story about what Stylish was up to 7 and a bit years ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17447816 I'd assumed most people would have jumped ship to Stylus [1] after that, but most people probably never heard a

It's one of the 5 or 6 themes most LLMs will generate if you ask for a site, if you want to see a bunch of different models generating a variation on that same theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2FnYRP5kC4

This is as good a "You might not need Vercel AI SDK" post as you'll read. I work on internal LLM tooling for a F100 at $DAYJOB and was nodding vigorously while reading this, especially when it comes to things like letting use

Tests can't tell you if the design of the code is fit for purpose, or about requirements you completely missed or punted on, or that a core new piece that's going to be built upon next is barely-coherent, poorly-performing slop th

But here's the thing. The LLM house writing style isn't just annoying, it's become unreadable through repeated exposure. This really gets to the heart of why human minds are starting to slide off it.
