Thanks for the explanation. I’ve moved away from frontend work in 2018, and I really have no idea what CSS can do anymore! So much of the CSS in this page looks cryptic to me. Kudos to the author for posting something cool and new in the

LLMs seem hellbent on generating Tailwind interfaces. So much of the internet was already like this, so I’m not sure it’s a Claude thing (Google Stitch doesn’t seem to know how to make anything else).

This type of trivia is why I found Bill Bryson’s “At Home” so entertaining. Tariff on windows? People cover them with bricks. Tariff on glass? Windows made of other materials. Tariff on… well, maybe stop designing tariffs if you can’t predi

I’m saying their lower-level employees are probably honest, hard-working people like everyone else. But the detachment that comes from a large corporate structure makes the higher-ups decide things that aren’t as honourable. “Corporations a

Come on, that’s not a fair take. Most of us build unimportant and mediocre things at best, but TikTok is especially designed for addiction, shortening of attention spans, and making you come back. Instagram was supposedly the same, with Met

Let’s not pretend like all drugs are equally addictive, or that some tech products aren’t even more so. You’re comparing TikTok to crack, but it’s much more like coming off E, where your life has no sense of pleasure or happiness for weeks&

The game he’s playing is different from what you expect, speaking as a former LoL addict. Fortnite is barely interesting when compared to most other games, but the skill progression and fast pace make it hard to put down. I think that’s whe

Anecdotal evidence, but once I stopped working I spent _much_ more time doing things I wouldn’t do before, such as running and cooking new recipes for me and my partner. I also went out more to play board games. The issue of work isn’t the

A corporation is made of people, but its ethos is the product of decision-making. If a corporation is consistently, say, unethical, is it because they hire only unethical individuals? Or because unethical people somewhere along the chain of

Depends on your definition of healthy and sweet. ‘Healthy’ is vague and fairly subjective. Plenty of coffee substitutes exist, such as roasted chicory-barley mixes that taste decent and provide you with some fiber. Is it healthy?

We might get stuck discussing semantics. Large parts of the internet remain public and open; but an incredibly vast part of it is a toxic wasteland. It’s true that many spaces people frequent are ‘enclosed’, but these are also less subject

Hmm, I haven’t used a single website in a long time that forces a Chromium-based browser to operate. The only exception I know of is DocuSign requiring a Chrome extension. And, of course, plenty of websites are laggy on Safari.

I think your first paragraph is spot on, while the second is fairly incorrect. Hardware isn’t getting cheaper at a reasonable pace, and datacenters will keep depleting the market. State-of-the-art models are very, very far from being run o

I’ve struggled with convincing colleagues to host on something other than AWS. I’m not sure they understand the costs and aren’t simply doubling-down on the evil they already know. In fact, I had no idea our static website at a scale-up in

It’s especially ironic since the bean counters produce no value. I like ‘Developer Hegemony’, even if the title needs changing. The author makes a great case for why information workers produce almost all the value. It’s them that make the

LLMs are probabilistic. The instructions increase the likelihood of a desired outcome, but not deterministically so. I don’t understand how you can deploy such a powerful tool alongside your most important code and assets while failing to u

Using files called SOUL, CONSTITUTION, and so on seems like it would make it more likely we see LLMs as pseudo-alive. It’s both a diminishing of what makes us human and a betrayal of what LLMs truly are (and should be respected as such).

Railway’s “Ship software peacefully” is a good mantra, and they might want to add more protections around very destructive operations. There’s a lot of blame to be passed around in this story, including OP’s own ways of working. But I agree

Most — all? — of these patterns come from the obsession with Tailwind that swept over the frontend in the last few years. Composable CSS classes also seem like they’d be easier for LLMs to out together. I’m not sure we can tell what AI desi
