I have a vague worry that, as we put more and more computation into CSS, web devs are going to end up with performance issues that are difficult to trace to their source compared to JS solutions. The answer is to surface this in DevTools I guess.

i love the dialog element, did i ever announce my love for the dialog element? so many features out-of-the-box. even though that's not the main point of this. doing my best to write vanilla HTML, CSS and TS (just cos the job wants me to, i don't mind TS or JS tbh) chenhuijing.com/blog/buildin...

Back in October last year, I briefly wrote about my thoughts about standards. Given the almost entirety of my career was around the web, and I cared a lot…

i do agree with Adam here, i've found myself saying multiple times to some of my colleagues, who to be fair, are not career web developers themselves, that i write my HTML and CSS by hand because the AI simply cannot create what i have in my head in the concise code that i want the output to be.

Why does AI suck at front-end? 🗑️ trained on garbage 👀 it can't see ❓ it doesn't know why 🏞️ no environmental control there's no human v20.2.1 to target. we're a LLM combinatorial explosion ⤷ nerdy.dev/why-ai-sucks...

The left panel is titled AI - MASTER OF ENGINE & CREATION and features a sophisticated, human-like android robot with detailed internal circuits and a glowing brain. Floating text around the robot says - REWRITING GAME ENGINES with a small video screen, GENERATING REALISTIC VIDEO/IMAGES with code on a screen, and CONFIDENCE - 100%. The right panel is titled AI - FRONT-END CSS FAIL and shows a cluttered desk with a distressed small robot next to a frustrated human man pointing aggressively at a computer screen. The computer displays a chaotic webpage full of broken layout elements and a giant black void called a gaping hole. The small robot has a speech bubble that says - I'M DONE! THE FEATURE IS COMPLETE. Floating text phrases on the right side are - BESPOKE INTERACTION NIGHTMARE, CSS IS HARD, YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, CAN'T RENDER, LLM CAN'T MATH. The human has a mug with </> and nerdy.dev written on it.

"Artificial intelligence is an extractive technology that relies on the brutal labor of underpaid workers around the world. For years, the work of African data labelers has been more or less “ghost work,” the unseen, hidden labor that lets American tech companies build their products."
