> Everything, including styling, is just a widget.

And that's the downside. What would be just two or three nested

s in HTML+CSS turns into several screens of widgets, making navigation and debugging much harder. I once had an issue with extra margin in one of Flutter's built-in widgets and spent hours trying to figure out why - without success.

The problem with AI 'cheating' is that it often shifts the challenge away from strategy and more toward figuring out how to outpace artificial handicaps. A well-designed AI should create challenge through better decision-making, not arbitrary advantages.

If this is exactly the same model then what's the point of encrypting it?

Facts: my friend ran a Minecraft server, and his hosting provider once told him it was the most DDoS'd server in the entire datacenter.

Looks really cool. One thing that I found missing is that I can't use mouse4/mouse5 in explorer. "Sanding" really could go on forever.

The best defense is to keep improving as programmers. By constantly refining our skills and learning new technologies we maintain our relevanse and value. AI and automation are tools that can enhance our work, not replace it.

Is it possible, in general, to know where something belongs — whether it's an LLM or anything else — before you try?

I don't think we pushed CSS too far; the complexity of CSS is inherently tied to the complexity of the UI requirements. Even now CSS can't handle everything.
