<p>Oh definitely. I don’t think bad design is something created by LLMs. LLMs just amplify the problem.</p>

<p>I don’t think tailwind or its templates are the issue (and believe me, I am the furthest thing from a tailwind advocate).<p>Just shipping a tailwind template is lazy and trite. But LLMs are made to optimize for the lazy and trite. They can only choose the lowest-common denominator.<p>LLMs don’t really know how to give designs personality. Most of the time I see attempts to improve the situation that basically just boil down to vibe-coded slop that’s prettier. I’m sure better designs exist, but the ones that do exist are almost certainly about the person who drove the LLM, not the LLM itself.</p>

<p>I know this may be a bit dismissive, but I think the need to ask that is the problem. AI can definitely build a design for you. But is no substitute for design skill.<p>The best way to figure out how to prompt an LLM is to develop design skills so you know what to tell it.</p>

<p>We're in a profession where women are constantly exposed to unwanted sexual advances and innuendo. I don't think it's prudish to not want to think about "huge red butt plugs" while programming, unless I'm working on the source code for a butt plug.</p>

<p>Google actually has simplified the process. It turns out that multiple rounds of interviews didn't lead to better-quality hires and just serves to piss people off.</p>

<p>"Legacy employees" sounds like code for "employees we could replace with cheaper new grads".</p>

<p>I don't know how they conducted the experiment, but they mention something about a science assessment. If you ask about math and science, men are going to believe they're more competent than they actually are because they've been socialized to believe they're better at it.<p>If they asked about cooking or cleaning, you'd probably get the opposite reaction.<p>Of course men aren't inherently better at math nor are women better at cleaning. It's just that we socialize them to think they are.</p>
