When I was 17, I made bad cartoons and was in a band. If I were 17, I'd spend more time learning music and design theory. I also learned PHP at this time, but that was low on the list, friendships came first.
Re:Why AI Sucks at Front End on Tuesday April 14, 2026 @01:06PM (#47768299)
I have found that working with llms for frontend to be better than most of the developers I have worked with. A majority of devs I came across only had enough frontend knowledge to be dangerous and to consistently introduce frontend entropy.

I use 1Password personally and use Bitwarden at work. Bitwarden doesn't feel as polished as 1password and the user experience could use some love.
The Ghibli generated character and logo makes me feel like this is a vibe coded project. I know Duolingo has become more ai-first, but at least they put some effort into the branding and styling of the content.
They're right and this also reminds me of the banana that was sold and eaten at Art Basel.

This seems like a surefire way to build a private echo chamber. I doubt a simulated audience is going to challenge your thoughts or help find what you are trying to say.

My brother is Christ, call BS all you WANT. This is T9-esque and we have comments in here being interested in going away from full keyboards on their phones in favor of cramming multiple letters onto buttons and letting the software do it again. Time is a flat circle and all that.

Reminds of T9 texting and I did like T9. I'll have to try this.

Reminds me of when we had to use browser hacks for IE.

Feel like this is a natural byproduct of the SEOization of Spotify. https://www.inputmag.com/culture/manipulated-seo-made-your-g...

Everyone is an epidemiologist in a pandemic.
Why? 9/11 and the Patriot Act. How? Be mad and let your elected officials know.
Noticed the same thing and found that it was caused by Ghostery.

Pixel perfection, are we still striving for that?
I wouldn't waste my money on something like that when you can do something similar with a glass jar and a sous vide circulator.

Edit: Plus now you can sous vide meats and whatever. It's a win-win.

I'm colorblind and am having a hard time with the "you attack" vs "enemy attacks (magic)" color choice.

Outside of that, I'm digging this.
