Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

Is the WebDev Arena truly measuring webdev coding ability?
This ML coding benchmark *requires* React/Tailwind and completely breaks with vanilla JS/other frameworks.
The second-order implications of models competing on this narrow definition of frontend web development are rather troublesome.
