The funny thing is, the techniques shown here are the ones that were once considered something only advanced front-end developers or publishers could do. Seeing that a former symbol of skill has now become a subject of satire makes me think that what we call 'high-level' ultimately comes from what others can't do. I personally never even thought about how to implement ASCII art animation.

Maybe once before but the web animation library has come a really long way over the last 5 years. Another thing to look into if you haven't in a while are container css queries. It makes responsive fluid design quite easier than how it was in 2015.

The web browser APIs are in a great state nowadays.

The most extreme virtue-signal is to go completely browser-default and have no styling whatsoever. Like lowercasing because your pinky can't be arsed to reach for the shift-key even though you've a billion dollars in series A.

Ok, now I'm tempted to buy BRK-B (BRK-A a bit too pricey...)

Not nearly enough animated gradient dropshadow. Check out googles AI Mode button and the same loading button status thing while waiting for responses in AI Mode. Please add it so I don't have to prompt for it - I can't tell if I'm joking.

Ew. I mean 500 bytes of CSS would make this so much better.

No. It’s perfect as is. I can find everything I want. Everything is accessible to everyone and screen readers. Does not require JavaScript.

Who mentioned JavaScript?

The home page links are teeny tiny on a phone screen, borderline unreadable.

If only there was a way to zoom, on your phone?!

If only you could add 500 bytes of CSS so the content fits the screen.

That's because phone browsers have the insane braindead default of scaling everything into tiny unreadableness. You have to explicitly say "stupid browser, nobody ever wanted this shit, behave sensibly by including . No idea why this idiotic custom still hasn't been purged from mobile browsers, but I guess it's just a valuable tradition now... Before mobile browsers arrived, everything was fine and nobody needed meta…

Everything was fine best viewed in IE5.5 at 1024x768. Time has changed.

Such is everything: at first, painstakingly crafted; later, mass produced.

I for one am happy never to have needed to use assembly.

If you turn on HN's "Show Dead" setting, there are tons of LLM-generated comments on stories related to AI. You can see the human(s) behind the LLM trying to fiddle with the style of comment by making them skip proper grammar, capitalization, use or avoid certain phrases, and so on. The biggest tell for LLM content, though, is just the content as a whole: it sounds fake and ungenuine, like it passed through a committ…

The uncanny valley of text. It looks and sounds like a human, but lacks the "soul" / humanity that our intuition somehow perceives. It's really strange... I see some text with obvious tropes and sometimes I read something and there's no obvious AI trope... but it's just not human?

And yet, while on HN we're critical readers and can still see through it, there's many places on the internet where it just wouldn't stand out. I try to avoid them, but they would just blend in to e.g. youtube comments.

Unless the YT comments I've read have been bots since forever.
