Earlier quoted context omitted.

So every person who reads Dan's blog and finds the layout too dense, they should write and maintain a stylesheet for his site? And every person globally should do this as well for any other website that doesn't have a good default reading experience?

I mean, if it really bothers you you could fairly trivially apply picocss or whatever to it using a user stylesheet. That is so little effort that calling it working for free would be disingenuous to say the least.

I've long suspected that LLMs will just output pure bits eventually

I’ve actually found Sol delivers great results with Odin, despite there not being much Odin code available. I think it is able to work well with it because: - It is a rather simple language - It has a lot of very useful libraries already built in. With just a single main.odin file you can do a heck of a lot stuff, which LLMs seem to like.
