I keep seeing the AI mechanic use-case being advertised but there's no way I'm trusting spicy-autocomplete to safely get my 1 tonne, 70 mph machine going again.

I have a cold but I'm enjoying the different orangey hues on the trees outside my window. I really love this beautiful, ephemeral time of year.

Awesome! I have a ticket but my brother in law just got engaged so hopefully he doesn't choose that weekend for the wedding.

I know, right? I visited it a few months ago and was very sad to see how it's been toned down.

Web design peaked with Lings Cars, it's truly iconic. By comparison, every site since then has had the personality of an Ikea Lack table.

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 was in South Korea for a few weeks and heard Golden absolutely everywhere. I should probably watch it!

It's funny how the W3C "rule of least power" has proven to be a good strategy but the concept is largely ignored by authors.

Lately I keep asking myself, "How do multi-billion dollar companies keep releasing the kind of shoddy work I'd NEVER get away with?"

Actually, it's probably the chart image not having a max width of its container and the banner is just a side effect.

FYI you have a horizontal overflow, likely the cookie banner.

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.

Day to day I've only found them useful for boilerplate that would take me slightly longer to find+copy+paste.

I'm always a fan of free accessibility! I think it's been through some iterations since I made v1 a few years ago but it looks like it's still using output.
