I created my own **reset.css** file #css #webdev
Inspired by @joshwcomeau.com @bell.bz @willybrauner.com and others - added sources links on the file itself :)
You can try it with:

This is going to be the big “find out.” The hard part of producing good software that does useful things is getting real clarity on what those useful things are. Coding forces dimension reduction because its language is so primitive. Without that back pressure, we get slop.
Having a linguistics background I think there's a huge misconception when it comes to prompting LLM's, the vast majority thinks that coding is "hard" compared with speaking a natural language. Well it's actually the contrary from a utilitarian POV less verbs at your disposal => easier to be specific
Generative AI is a slop generation machine by default. You have to put in a lot of work to get something of quality from it.

How many times do we have to remind people: the chatbot *cannot* admit to *anything*. It *doesn't know*. When you ask it about itself, it generates its answer the same way it generates your request that it write an email. It takes what you tell it and responds in way to sound plausible.
