There are problems where understanding one level below the abstractions indeed leads to better solutions. However, I would argue that for a large set of problems, this is not the case. I think being aware of the abstraction (at multiple levels) would lead you to choose the right abstraction level for solving the problem. Of course, apart from school assignments, these abstraction levels are never given with a certain…

To be honest, being able to think about things in multiple levels of abstraction is an advantage no matter what level you are (writing assembly or writing react)

It's because abstractions always leak. You are never completely insulated from the levels above or below you, nor sideways from the other components you interact with.

source quality and editing prowess doesnt matters at all for views and you can edit in high quality on an iphone, higher than what’s necessary to view on an iphone so, two premises that arent substantiated

Show me a million-view TikToker that does it unedited with no files. They might exist. I don’t watch TT, I’m happy to be wrong. But MKBHD, Justine, Mr. Beast, CGP Grey — you name ‘em, they use files to edit a production.

That’s such a random bar with such random outliers

Someone that doesn’t watch tiktok thinks a millions views is a lot there

Stick with YouTube your worldview isn’t relevant this decade

Very cute! I did something similar with my dad when I was a kid. First basic HTML then Dreamweaver. A couple years down the road and I’m working at a SaaS company. Beware.

I just had a visceral reaction to reading Dreamweaver... god those were not the days haha

Oh yea in hindsight it would have been better to just stay in the editor and write HTML - but I was a kid and Dreamweaver was pretty easy to use. Although I did hit its limits pretty soon and tried to mess around with the code.

> computers are a very important form of technology. Without it no websites, no Roblox studio, and no nothin. Without computers used have to use tablets. Tablets aren't very useful. Well to do stuff Computers can anyway.

Come on, Apple. A seven year-old gets it, why can't you? Let iPads run MacOS.

Width and height must be specified without units (although looks like browsers accept it, probably by ignoring the unit). IMG tags are self-closing, so you can omit The dog picture has wrong aspect ratio. The dog is squeezed! It should be 620 × 349 or, if 500 width or 400 height is needed, there's a good mathematical task to calculate the size of the other side. No need for / in HTML. unicorn.html unicorncopy.html Pa…

Is this code review indicating a 7 year old will be put on a PIP?

While most of th 7 year olds contemporaries are busy consuming content instead of creating it like this?
