The other thing AI "democratization" of prototyping does is skip the entire first feedback loop (expertise).
Normally, as a designer works through a design, they will be trying and abandoning many approaches that clearly do not work, because they don't come together. AI can't do that.

If declarative programming was more intuitive, then we'd all be coding in functional programming languages. The thing that makes declarative programming "easier to reason about” is that there's fewer moving parts to coordinate when you're just defining things.

they all say the same thing “I built a toy app in my free time with thousands of lines of code thanks to AI. Why aren’t my engineers moving faster?“ my dude, your silly app won’t scale to millions of users. It doesn’t have any complexity or tech debt. You’re comparing apples and oranges.

In the webbed site, straight up "jorking it." And by it, haha. Wellr. Let's just say. Your browser's default page scroll.

🎉 Live from the CSS WG F2F: We just agreed to support multiple borders and outlines per element, comma-separated!
But we can’t decide on the order: inside out or outside in?
What feels more natural to you, A or B?
(it needs to be the same across borders and outlines or different box-sizing values)

I joined the UK Skills Hub. A lack of criticality didn't surprise me, but I noted that its welcome language was distinct for self-selected categories of users: "AI workers" will learn to “identify opportunities AI provides," while "AI leaders" will "oversee responsible and safe introduction of AI."

Premature optimization is only the root of 97% of evil. If the optimization is just as readable and maintainable as the unoptimized code, then you might as well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Should we drop a dedicated open-source project comparing ALL major schema libs? 🤔
We could test:
⏱️ Initialization speed
✅ Validation speed
⚡ Parsing speed
📦 Download time (bundle size)
If this gets traction… we launch it 🚀📊

Just updated the @valibot.dev comparison guide to also including the new Zod Mini.
Bundle sizes for a typical login schema:
🤖 Valibot: 1.37 kB
💎 Zod: 17.7 kB
💎 Zod Mini: 6.88 kB

This article makes some good points. I would not go so far as to say we should ban components setting their own margins. However, it should be considered a code smell. mxstbr.com/thoughts/mar...
Margin considered harmful
We should ban margin from our React components. Hear me out.

Debating people who look past "chatbot psychosis", the dismantling of the education system, the gendered abuse, the generated CSAM images, the overt attacks on the media industries, or the ultra-right's glee about "AI", by showing them a well-constructed academic study is never going to work.

The second is very much more common, but there are a lot of people who will bounce from a website if it has the wrong font
"I am very disappointed about this app since this dialog did not animate when it opened" - no user, ever
"I am very confused by this app since it has three different menus and I never know where to find which setting" - every user, always

You can do whatever CSS you want using Tailwind. But it encourages certain ways of thinking. Utility-first CSS encourages tweaking individual elements locally and discourages thinking in terms of responsive layouts. You end up hacking around rigid component CSS with things like Tailwind Merge

The irony of everyone chasing the same AI strategy is that it eliminates competitive advantage. When everyone optimizes for the same thing, nobody stands out. But a company that deliberately chooses humanity over automation? Right now that’s an admirable decision and a signal customers can’t ignore
