10 years ago all websites started to have the Bootstrap/Foundation look, now it's Shadcn/Radix. Playing outside the sandbox was always very annoying when using Bootstrap, I'm guessing not much has changed.

I've been doing 1 day a week where I go all in on LLMs. I use them for every task and improve the setup when they fail. The problem is they keep failing and I end up just coding it myself.
