I love this tool so much. It makes so many difficult things easy, and it does it cheaply or free in almost every instance.
A long time ago I saw Eric do a presentation at An Event Apart in Seattle on something like Designing for People in Crisis. He used his trip with his daughter Rebecca to the emergency room as the example of why it's crucial to have a section of your hospital webpage for people in crisis that is very easy to read and very easy to use in case of shock, trauma and emergency. Things like phone numbers and emergency room drop directions/maps.
I was familiar with Eric's work at the time, but the vulnerability he showed in using his own tragedy as an example of why websites should be, essentially, accessible for people in various states of trauma and crisis was incredibly moving and made the case for accessible design in a personal, powerful way.
It will put the squeeze on the doctors and medical facilities. There are reports already that doctors can't access the payment portal for the work that they're doing.

I think the title is actually Hillbilly Jazz, unless it's a deep, deep cut.
So the killer app for LLMs and AI in general is...a librarian?
Are we doing theories? Mine is that Peter Thiel sold Musk on buying Twitter by convincing him of his ability to make it profitable with his genius, knowing full well he'd sink the thing in 18 months, and another pesky tool would be off the table for awhile.
As someone who writes CSS for a lot of small projects, it's true that the code on the right is tighter and easier to read and manage, but that's not what frameworks are for. CSS frameworks like Tailwind and Bootstrap were designed to give large scale products easy patterns to remember and implement site- or app-wide, standardizing the language so that teams quit duplicating existing functionality under different, but still obscure, names.
Yes, if we scale down out projects we can write custom CSS for our HTML without the need for specific class names that refer to specific CSS aspects and make it more readable, but that's not what frameworks were built for, and comparing the two like this is disingenuous.
