My biggest issue with LLM‑assisted webpages (Claude Code is especially egregious) is the lack of respect for basic web content accessibility guidelines. The number of dark‑mode sites I’ve seen where the text (and subtext) are various shades of dark brown or beige is just awful. For reference, you want a contrast ratio between the text and background of at least ~4:1 to be on the safe side. This isn't even that hard t…

Just chiming in to say I don't care at all about accessibility and I find it bewildering that every thread sharing some project has a comment like this.

Accessible sites are also faster, lighter, and more responsive sites. Accessibility is a pro for everyone.

The difference between people who want to learn things versus people who just want a finished product is going to be a big dividing line in the post AI world

Learn what though? Is knowing CSS at all relevant to making a site all about, say, every type of cheese? If I have, say, 6 hours to build that site, does learning about CSS make the site better, or does learnin about the history of rennet make the site better? The assumption that using AI to replace learning about CSS is replaced by being a drooling moron with the time saved instead, is unfounded. The AI is a fountai…

> If I have, say, 6 hours to build that site

Then chances are it’ll be subpar either way. Every type of cheese, in six hours? The CSS isn’t the bottleneck there, it’s information hierarchy and the information itself. You can’t possibly learn about the history of cheeses and summarise it and organise it for a website in that amount of time. Writing the website code isn’t the lengthy part.

> That people choose to not to learn about topics they don't find interesting because they'd rather learn about topics they do find interesting, doesn't automatically make them dumber than you.

Why so rough? I don’t see any judgement of character or intelligence in the comment you’re replying to.

I expect most side-projects are being built with AI-assistance now. Side projects are typically time constrained - if AI saves you time, why wouldn't you use it?

On the visual design traits... I'm primarily a backend developer. Most of my work has been in serving json or occasionally xml. Spring Shell in Java is something that I'm closer to working with than a GUI. When I've done web work, the most complimentary thing that was said about my design is "spartan". So, if I was to have a web facing personal project... would black text on a white background with the default font a…

I wish more people would just ship the spartan version. Even if they want to have a "modern" one too. I'm tired of the internet being slower than it was 20 years ago despite massively improved network and hardware capability.

Ethical concerns, environmental concerns, political concerns and legal concerns.

On top of that, if any brainlet with an LLM can build it, why bother?

Does your idea stand out? Then AI can get ~50% done, and you still have to fill in the gaps. People who do that right will not look very LLM-assisted unless you dig through the commits. That's how it should be done, imo.

So you _never_ do side projects to solve a problem? It's always about learning and enjoyment, it doesn't matter how long it takes?

Would be good to show results in details, not just summary. A list of high and low scoring submissions, for example, to vibe check the method.

Also, would be good to show trends over time rather than just a one-time pie chart showing breakdown into arbitrary categories.

because I value the process of learning by doing
