Autocomplete can be both magic and frustrating (tab to indent a line and cursor fills it with unexpected and useless stuff). Using AI to plan complex task works well, while executing the plan much less. The feedback loop, especially when refactoring CSS, is poor and requires integrating visual diff

Apparently you also need java, preferably a good version, as this is a paradigmatic case of garbage in garbage out

I really appreciate this take, it resonates with over ten years of practicing the same awareness, favoring the least complex tool or language for any goal and going to the next level only when its limits had been reached.

It’s a mess, for everyone, regardless of digital literacy. It’s confusing and unintuitive and creates anxiety because you must work with it and can’t dismiss it. And don’t get me started on the feature duplication with outlook yet with slightly different behaviors.

If you don't tell it to read everything, sometimes it is lazy, though, and doesn't go through the text. AI is weird.

Ofc, but z-index is a scalar value, and infinity is a value you can’t match. So to change it you have to add specificity. At the same specificity level, infinity does not play nice. It solves specific use cases

The infinite specificity of this works against every good practice I’ve learnt and taught about CSS (not that, as always, there aren’t good cases for this)

So sorry to hear this. Really wish you the best of luck for your next role.

Fictionalizing reality then whining about it is a key characteristic of new fascism

Don’t know the GIF policy here but I assume Friends always has a pass
two men are sitting in a car with the words how hot are we on the bottom
Alt: GIF from the TV series Friends showing two men sitting in a roadster car (that’s Ross and Joey) while a bald aged man drives by and stop, in the same roadster model, thumbs up, saying “how hot are we”
