    @retoor approaching 10 years in frontend development experience, I never make mistakes in HTML and CSS. Literally never happens. Plus, the kind of code I write for my personal projects is too unconventional for the AI to figure out.
    I spent days building just the grid for this project, and let me tell you that now I know every single wrong way to build an exotic grid, and one right one

    @retoor AI is very good at producing huge quantities of garbage code. It’s especially good at boilerplates. If you remove the AI buzzword, what you’re doing is automatically expanding your real intent (e.g. the prompt) into the code that can be executed. If said code needs to be orders of magnitude longer, AI is the worst solution possible. It’s like adding one more lane to a 26-lane highway and expecting it to fix traffic.
    Because I have the exact control over my code, I achieved almost zero boilerplate. My code is only marginally longer than my prompts would’ve been if the AI was given my entire codebase as context.
    The downside is that I this is too thin of a brush so to speak, the room for error is really slim. So, there is no magic in what I do: I just spend 3 hrs on 40 lines of code while Go/Python guys spend the same time on 400, and C#/Java guys — on 4000.

    @retoor Templates — still way faster than any A.I. 🤷‍♂️

    @retoor A slip of the tongue, actually. I meant snippets. 😆 But yeah, templates too. Autocompletion that isn't AI, in general. I just prefer something I directly control over something generated that I only slightly influence. It makes me faster — not having to think about what will be the consequence of accepting this generated part over this other generated part, and instead coming up with a solution that mirrors exactly what I've got in mind.

    That said, I just registered you mostly use AI to generate HTML and CSS. That might be alright, didn't try. Those usually aren't very important.
