The problem with AI-generated frontend code is that without constraints, every generation picks different spacing, colors, and patterns. The 50th component looks nothing like the first. ui-stack is a Claude Code skill — a set of structured reference files that Claude reads when building UI.It's built for Next.js + Tailwind + Shadcn but the principles are framework-agnostic. What's interesting...

Re:The Goldfish, the Elephant, and the AI: A User's Guide to Context on Monday July 28, 2025 @03:52PM (#44714821)
For years, talking to an AI was like explaining an inside joke to a stranger, over and over again. They had no memory, no shared history, and no idea what a "computron" was. But that's changing at lightning speed. To understand the AI revolution, you don’t need to learn to code; you need to understand Context.

Re:Ask HN: How are enterprise web apps distributed? on Sunday April 26, 2015 @09:48AM (#9441732)
Initially it was supposed to be that way. But some of their clients don't want any data living outside the country, hence they want to use their own server for storing the data.

Alright. I will try the VM method and see how to go about it. Thanks!

Re:Ask HN: How do I find a mentor? on Sunday April 19, 2015 @03:15AM (#9402307)
Very nice answer.

I have been reading Coders At Work by Peter Seibel, and one common pattern which I noticed among all the programmers mentioned in the book was they worked under another good programmer in their initial years (Jamie Zawinski under Norvig), which was implicit mentoring IMO.

All my college life, I have worked on a lot of projects (Personal & at Internship) which involves different technologies, and as you said most of the work is figuring out how to do X in the new language or framework. One key thing which I have taken from everyone, is that learning never stops. The mode of learning keeps changing through out our life, from rote learning in early school to formal learning in high school and college and then to informal learning afterwards.
