"Hi HN! I've just released CSS Studio, a design tool that lives on your site, runs on your browser, sends updates to your existing AI agent, which edits any codebase. You can actually play around with the latest version directly on the site."

I didn't see anything like that in the video you posted on the homepage. Personally I found the video VERY confusing on what exactly the benefit of the product is and actually how to use it. The music also was annoying and made it hard to focus on the actual video.

You might want to redo it and concentrate on explaining exactly what the benefits of your product are over the 50+ other products just like this one.

The UK is going over board on so many things lately, can they even call themselves a FREE country anymore? First SPEECH, then VPNs and now PORN.

For those that don't know, this site was made by John Resig, yes, the same dude that invented jQuery.

thrownaway561 — Sun, 15 Feb 2026 13:53:20 +0000

I'm just asking, but is there really a need for a native programs anymore? Where I worked a decade ago, we started porting all our native programs over to the browser and this was when MVC beta was just being released. At this point with Electron and Tauri, is there even a need to write a native program

Now with AI, I would think that porting a native program to the browser wouldn't be the chore it once was.

What I don't get is out this is to protect teens, but what person that is 13 has an ID?

thrownaway561 — Sun, 08 Feb 2026 15:48:30 +0000

Personally I'm loving AI for TECHNICAL problems. Case in point... I just had a server crash last night and obviously I need to do a summary on what could have possibly caused the issue. This use to take hours and painfully hours at that. If you ever had to scroll through a Windows event log you know what I'm talking about. But today I just got an idea of just exporting the log and uploading it to Gemini and asking it:

Looking at this Windows event log, the server rebooted unexpected this morning at 4:21am EST, please analyze the log and let me know what could have been the cause of the reboot.

It took Gemini 5 minutes to come back with an analyst and not only that, it asked me for the memory dump that the machine took. I uploaded that as well and it told me that it looks like SentinelOne might have caused the problem and to update the client if possible.

Checking the logs myself, that's exactly what it looks like.

That used to take me HOURS to do and now it took me 30 seconds, took Gemini 10 minutes, but me 30 seconds. That is a game changer if you ask me.

I love my job, but I love doing other things rather than combing over a log trying to figure out why a server rebooted. I just want to know what to do to fix it if it can be fixed.

I get that AI might be giving other people a sour taste, but to me it really has made my job, and the medial tasks that come with it. easier.

I think you're 4 years too late bro. With AI, you can pretty much get 80% of the way there in a minute. I don't understand why anyone nowadays would build anything from scratch.

thrownaway561 — Sat, 31 Jan 2026 18:29:25 +0000

Not for nothing, but Gemini local has been my goto forever now. There is no way in hell i would give someone like Molt access to anything just willy nilly like everyone else. To me really I just ask Gemini how to do things and just do them myself.

Congrats on shipping!!!! It's been a long time since I've written any jQuery but I remember how wonderful it was to work with in the age of browser inconstancies. Thank you EJohn and the team for continuing the project.

Honestly I think that they should be putting Tailwinds Plus and consulting services first. Sucks that AI is making the web itself obsolete now.

and they wouldn't be able to do anything anyways. That money is moved out of the country and has been laundered 100 fold by now.

I hate to be the one that says it, but there is only one way to handle scammers like this. They need to be hunted down and put down. All of them and anyone who is involved.

Truth be told that scamming is becoming easier and easier. The problem is that most countries not only allow it, it is part of their GDP. Look at the number of scammers that originate in India. Everyone there knows who they are, there are numerous YouTube channels souly dedicated to exposing them and reporting them to the authorities, yet they still remain active.

Until a more brutal and direct response is used, these organizations and countries will continue to operate. If the attacks Trump has used on drug boats has taught us anything is that a direct response is the best response when dealing with the underworld.

yea great.... when will I be able to have it dial a number on my google pixel? Seriously... Gemini absolutely sucks on pixel since it can't interact with the phone itself so it can't dial numbers.

if it wasn't for DHH, Ruby would be a hobby programming language at best. The community can say what it wants, but it and frankly, most of the web programmers in the world, owe DHH some thanks. If it weren't for him, Yehuda Katz and John Resig, 90% of the web would still be written with Perl, CGI and VBScript.

thrownaway561 — Sun, 20 Jul 2025 22:34:43 +0000

I was thinking the same thing. Programmed ColdFusion for over a decade and loved the language, however I moved onto .NET, the PHP and now Rails. ColdFusion was a wonderful language, but the frameworks weren't there and the market share wasn't there either. Ironically enough, one of my clients still uses it for their application and we actually began talks about moving them over to Rails.
