After MUCH not-so-subtle hinting that I should be using AI at my job I gave it a fair shot on a tricky bug I've been looking at.
It spun it's wheels for a while, suggested a change that added hundreds of lines and didn't actually alter the bug behavior, and upon further prompting stopped mid-process and said "wait, this is harder than I thought. I suggest you ask the team responsible for this code for help."
That's me. I'm on that team.
Feeling even better about my AI-free workflow now.
Parts of my job that I enjoy:
- Designing systems
- Writing elegant code
- Learning new things
- Solving interesting problems
- Sharing knowledge
Parts of my job I don't enjoy:
- Reviewing other people's code
- Debugging systems I'm not familiar with
- Blindly using poorly documented interfaces
- Dependency hell
- Being forced into the latest fad
AI enthusiasts: "What if I told you I've solved one of those lists for you?" 😏
Anyone have a recommendation for a good library of Web Components?
Looking for components to support single page tools like split views and tabs. Ideally very few dependencies, definitely no React, no requirement for custom build steps please.
I've used Shoelace in the past, but they've become "WebAwesome" now and I'm not sure I get great vibes from it?

Congrats to the people of Hungary! Let's hope that we Americans can learn a thing or two from you about not electing facists.
My son asked me for a video of something crazy (money dancing) and I poked around and to my surprise found a brief clip. I showed it to my kids and they absolutely ROASTED me for showing them something made with AI. (Which it was.)
The kids are alright.
