That's an incomplete story though, 'revenue has plummeted due to LLMs', 'revenue is from people sponsoring the project', so... what, people that formerly liked and sponsored Tailwind stopped , figuring they can just ask AI now? Bit surprised that would have happened in significant volume (I'd have thought the LLM using non-sponsors would have far more overlap with the prior non-sponsors) but maybe.

Fewer people view their site (since their questions can be answered by LLMs) which means their paid services (Tailwind Plus and links to sponsors) get fewer views and thus fewer purchases.

In two projects I used Claude for it included Github Actions without me ever mentioning I needed it. I didn't realize before I pushed the code, because my Neovim config hides folders with a '.' prefix and I must have missed it in the git diff. Luckily it only cost me 4 cents, but it's still concerning.

It uses shadcn so often, to the point where seeing shadcn components with default styling often means the site was built by AI. It's like Bootstrap 10 years ago - so many sites used it with default styling that it was instantly recognizable.

Supreme irony: this website itself is a better exercise in showing what Claude Code uses than the data provided. Everything current Claude Code i.e. Opus 4.6 chooses by default for web is exactly what this linked blog uses. Jetbrains Mono is as strong of a tell for web as "Not just A, but B" for text. >99% of webpages created in the last month with Jetbrains Mono will be Opus. Another tell is the overuse of this font…

It's funny you mention the font, to me it's the boxes, they all look the same, I'm not sure where it's from but if you ever see a card like CSS made it looks like this blog.

Yeah that's the specific rounding/color/thickness combo, `rounded-lg bg-white border border-stone-200`.

This is where LLM advertising will inevitably end up: completely invisible. It's the ultimate "influencer". Or not even advertising, just conflict of interest. A canary for this would be whether Gemini skews toward building stuff on GCP.

In my last conversation with a Google support person, I was sent a clearly LLM-generated recommendation to switch to a competitor's product. Either they're not doing this, or the support person wasn't using Gemini.

I'm not sure the creators of tailwind share your definition of winning though. They recently had to let go of most staff since revenue has plummeted die to LLMs

Considering they (tried) to turn Tailwind into a for-profit project, I also think the creators/maintainers would disagree.

If it was just a FOSS project then indeed wider usage should be considered a success no doubt.

How is that a sign of a site built with AI if most people would use the defaults the same way AI is doing ?

What do you mean there ?

"Tailwind didn't win because it's the best CSS solution. It won because it has the most tutorials per capita in the training set." Obviously. People keep forgetting that "Artificial Intelligence" does not think and is not intelligent. It just statistically predict next token in a sequence. It is all statistics. So, Django 6 has new task framework, but LLM does not care, as Celery has better stats. Side note: it is no…

Highly pervasive, first step people do before starting new projects is setting up stuff like Tailwind, Shadcn; they also don't bother much with modifying how it looks since it looks decent out of the box causing similar looking websites everywhere; similar to how the Bootstrap craze was back from 2012-2015/6; where all websites just looked the same[0]
