@ricmac I don't know the first thing about computer science, and even *I'm* here muttering "jesus fucking christ" to myself..
Wow.
@ricmac Unfortunately they haven’t yet discovered the concept of a “blog” where you can store posts without paying x dot com $40 a month
@ricmac html! Who'da thought?!
Now they’ve discovered external style sheets.
@ricmac next up: semantic html
🙈
They arev on a good path to discover algoritms.
@ricmac What's next? Discovering coding?
😮 WTH! Last time I saw a full style tag was about 20 years ago on a page with table layouts. These vibe coders really know F all about developing websites!
@ricmac this is just sad.
@ricmac Deze AI ppl so smat!
@ricmac we gotta laugh at AI-bros today because perhaps tomorrow they will be gone just like NFT
we can't postpone our laughter and ridicule
@ricmac But it seems he learned something Form the AI...
@ricmac What is a 12116 token HTML article? Haha, I'm so out of the loop on this topic, and it makes so little sense to me :-D
@ricmac I feel like the old witch in the woods who knows all the secret spells who everyone ignores.
@ricmac This seems like the funny thing about AI token optimization is gives them a direct measure for good coding practices. I can't wait for them to be like "I found this awesome hack where I go deep and learn the tech so that I can give the AI better feedback. It saves so many tokens!"
@ricmac Wait until they find out about web components 😆
@ricmac wake me when the vibe coders reinvent/rediscover the use of programming languages to, oh I don't know, specify the desired behavior of software
@ricmac @fionasboots This is the same bollock (as we say in Scotland, quaintly) all over again. The so-called "grep tax" and the cardinality of code residing within individual files contributing to filling the LLM's context window. It contributes towards "babysitting needed to get token-based generator to work" vs actual productivity. But hey! Time to make agentic automation scalable! /s
Unfortunately, I think the next step might be: “What if we created a virtual DOM…”
@ricmac "What if we create a special well-defined language, based on symbols and English keywords, to interact with LLM that avoids the ambiguity of natural language and allows to separate code from data?"
@ricmac STOP GIVING THEM IDEAS (for free)
@ricmac be ready for everything canvas.
What they have is literally one `<template shadowrootmode="open">` away from being a custom element with declarative shadow DOM
@john.kreitlow.rocks "whoa, dude... wouldn't it, like, be strange if this was also more efficient in every other way? We couldn't be that lucky, tho. But what if..."
what is happening
