There was a tool like this 5 years ago on [Github](https://github.com/emilwallner/Screenshot-to-code) that did similar thing using neural networks.
What you have made isn't a real product in my honest opinion, so it is understandable why you feel this way. You need to make it better and I think you have a chance.
How do you prevent SQL injections or bad queries?
Nice tool, will check it out. I had to go through a painstaking trial and error process to generate valid and deterministic JSON for my AI presentation tool called Slide Genie (https://slidegenie.vercel.app/). The hard part was making it work when temperature > 0.
The hype is real.

Oh no, not again..
Wow, this is great.

Valid point

This is amazing.
Yes, this was my observation, but I see a pattern with the modern engineering workflow. It's convoluted. What could be done with basic npm scripts is now Webpack, so another abstraction that the beginners have to smash their head against, all in the pursuit of making a basic todo app. Not lying, I use these tools myself, but I try to survey a technology before using it. I ask myself the questions a) is it stable, by looking at any major GH issues and b) can I do it better natively and do away with using a library.
OOP is for helping to "engineer" software with hierarchies. What I referred to is framework/library level abstraction. Referring to Hipsters. Hard to scale, bad software, because one doesn't know the underlying technologies they're using. I mean, I am not saying use C, but try to do it natively. Most people use underscore because of some functions that are easily doable in vanilla.

Increasing abstraction is directly proportional to decreasing software quality

It is my observation that if you use a shit ton of abstractions, wrapper libraries, frameworks, so on, your software gets crappier. This is from experience, too. Whereas, if you build something from scratch, that is, reduce reliance on abstractions, the software quality in the long run is more stable. Thoughts?

Whenever you do /anything/ your brain may be selecting from a probability distribution over things that can be done immediately.

There is no concrete evidence that the brain does math. If the brain did select things from a probability distribution, then why isn't everyone a math genius.

No one really knows how it works.

a) Yes, it is not, bad naming, but can probably be used to create one, like a Chrome extension.

b) No. It's not one man's opinion. 68 people are actively editing it.

I can also verify lots of bullshit sites like Collective Evolution that I myself know about, and is on this list.

c) Show me evidence of one fake news posted by the BBC ?

Yeah but it could be used to build one. Also, disagree with it being 'my bias'. It's not my list. Many working on it.

He was such an intellectual powerhouse.

Nice idea with Jasonette, but it only works for UI rendering, nothing more complex beyond that, right?

Why are you using 'college kids' as some metric?

The browser, arguably, is the greatest app of all time.
Why would I use this over React, or why would I use this at all?
