Prediction: Companies will dump money into trying to solve tough problems with AI agents. Some solutions will work. Then, when the bill hits, they'll realize "we could use an API/much cheaper algorithms." Many engineers will get their promotions refactoring AI flows to "dumb" integrations

Revisiting CSS border-image | CSS-Tricks
I’ve used border-image regularly. Yet, it remains one of the most underused CSS tools, and I can’t, for the life of me, figure out why. Is it possible that people steer clear of border-image because its syntax is awkward and unintuitive? Perhaps it’s because most explanations don’t solve the type of creative implementation problems that most people need to solve. Most likely, it’s both.
