AI coding sucks

Want to build faster websites? Here's how:
- Learn how browsers parse, layout & paint
- Treat JS as a tool, not the foundation(!)
- Favor static HTML or server side rendering at all times
- Use Core Web Vitals alongside other metrics to learn shortfalls, improve and iterate
Then keep doing that.

I often worry pragmatism is continually given less regard, and that generative AI is accelerating this shift.
I’m a little worried that AI will lock in whatever best practices are most popular at this moment and we won’t evolve as easily from here

I'm curious:
When someone asks you, "why does accessibility matter?" or "why is accessibility so important?", what do you usually answer?
P.S. I might quote your response in a post or discussion.

I no longer understand prefers-contrast | Kilian Valkhof
The prefers-contrast media query indicates whether someone prefers more or less contrast within the boundaries of your sites design. At least, that’s what I thought it meant.
