Receipts: a brief list of prominent articles proclaiming the death of the web.
They say AI will replace the web as we know it, and this time they mean it. Here follows a short list of previous times they also meant it, starting way back in 1997. Wired: March 1, 1997: “You can kiss your web browser goodbye” – Kevin Kelly and Gary Wolf, The Big Story. 1Inspired by the success of PointCast, a clever application that displayed news headlines as a screensaver, our "Push!" story argued that Web browsers were about to become obsolete.

Why AI can’t do hiring
It's not technologically impossible. The training data simply isn't available.

If you are using a @vscode.dev fork like @cursor.com.web.brid.gy or @windsurfai.bsky.social, the extension provides a local, configurable #MCP server.

Please stop setting `width: 100vw` on the `body`.
It's unnecessary. By default, the `body` stretches horizontally as much as necessary.
It's problematic. Setting `width: 100vw` on it can cause overflow even if you remove the default `margin`... because the page may have a scrollbar.

Had a blast over on the Whiskey Web and Whatnot podcast along with @nerdy.dev and @robbiethewagner.dev.
We talked about whether CSS is a programming language, touched on Tailwind, and questioned why AI is still pretty bad at CSS, and nerded out about CSS in general 😊
