I could not read the whole piece. The phrasing smells like AI too much.

Shouldn't you include the ad costs in your margin calculation?

One of the main "problems" we solved with adopting styled-components back in 2016 was styles colocation where more junior members managed to create a several thousand line CSS file with a mess of selectors which we couldn't safely figure out which is used where.

My current plan is to transition to CSS Modules which should allow preserving most (if not all) of the current styled-components DX and advantages.

What is the best approach to have something like context7 for internal tools and libraries?

k3liutZu — Mon, 04 Aug 2025 14:23:12 +0000

My fellow designer friends would often do this. But they would start from actual fonts and do slight (or more than slight) adjustments to them to match what they wanted as an outcome.

Yep, that's the usefulness right now.

I might have like a cargo bike if I didn't like on top of a hill. And if I didn't have 6 months of cold dark weather with snow / ice covering the roads.

I just booted up my 2009 MacBook Pro since it's the only machine I still have with a CD/DVD drive. Some keys are not working (eg R, T, P, probably others) so I had to use the accessibility on screen keyboard.

I was surprised it still booted up and I was able to use the optical drive.

I wonder, wouldn't we be able to dump it into some flat spaces, allow the water to evaporate and then harvest the salt that remains?

> 4. How is this better or worse than making progress through asking questions on X/Reddit/mailing lists/IRC/Usenet/your local library? I'll tell you: it doesn't irritate other people as much, and it's likely a lot more efficient. I get it, "I spent 20 minutes with an LLM and made a one-page HTML website!" doesn't sound impressive, until you compare it - about a year ago - "I spent two days going through awful ad-laden tutorials and made a one-page HTML website!".

I think this is the money-shot. LLM's (specifically ChatGPT) have helped me debug weird issues, and help get started with new technologies / libraries where searching for the issues on Google did not yield (good) results.

I don't think it's just us getting old. Newcomers to the filed don't really understand HTML and CSS. It's just "React components" to them, and they aren't looking deeper than that.
