I really want to make the switch, but I still need a web browser for a minimum viable replacement. I don’t want to manage 2 phones just for the occasional restaurant that makes you order from a QR code or parking meter with a busted display
The idea of a restaurant or parking meter requiring internet access is crazy to me. I'm clearly just getting old, but there's no way I'd gate my customers on the assumption that they have a smartphone with them. Dead batteries, data connection issues, shit happens.
UI is a terrible example to make your point. Tell me you don’t know frontend development…
Accessibility, cross browser+platform support, design systems, SEO, consistency and polish, you name it. You are most certainly not getting that from an LLM and most engineers don’t know how or don’t have a good eye for it to catch when the agent has gone astray or suggested a common mistake
You definitely have a point, but the reality is that LLMs are about as good as an "average" UI developers in some cases -- lots of people who work on UI every day think very little about accessibility and don't understand if their code actually runs in a non-chromium browser.
try the native screen recording feature on iOS if you have an iPhone or iPad. go log into some website or app. the recording will show the keyboard come up, keypress animations, and the characters being entered into the username/email field, but when you focus the password field all of that disappears. I was surprised when I first saw it, but it totally works
The other CSS terms for this are block and inline, as in padding-inline-start and padding-block-end. Whether it’s the top/bottom/left/right edge is determined by flow direction. iOS/SwiftUI calls the inline directions leading and trailing, but I’m not sure how it works with vertical type
Technically, block and inline dimensions are defined with respect to the direction of the text. The terms used in the CSS spec to refer to the direction of justify-content and align-items are the main axis and the cross axis, respectively.
I have a few handmade shirts that were all between $70-100. I buy the occasional oddity from Etsy and those things (the ones I buy) are all handmade and most of them are quite affordable – on par with shopping at Target for comparison. I’m 100% certain the artists are thankful they can be professional creators instead of becoming a wage worker or living off of some form of basic income
I mean all that code still runs on servers in a data center. “Serverless” really just means “stateless”. You can just huck the servers they use for your service.
