Maybe there’s a case to be made for a theme setting on a screen somewhere. Or as others have said, this could be set at the browser level per site.

I just think having a toggle up in the header is sort of a UX waste.

Yes. Toggles are unnecessary, a phenomenon of weird nerds. Just match the system settings and you’re fine.

Either this is a poorly written article or it is totally LLM slop.

Developers bragged about scale and beauty, and the brag couldn’t be faked; the artifact proved it. Skill was the visible half of a pair. Taste rode along with skill.

huh?

What will the LLMs do when all the humans whose work they have stolen in order to function at all decide to leave the marketplace of ideas? 🤔

My shorter answer: if you think you need to use canvas,

you don’t.

(Unless you’re literally building a drawing app.)

99.99% of web applications would be better off virtually ignoring “best practices” introduced by Big Tech.

Just go look at the repo. 😅

Well that’s just demonstrably wrong. Go look at the commit history of the go port. Extensive use of Copilot. Slop.

And it was slop coded by engineers who think it’s fine to talk in abusive mannerisms to chatbots inside of GitHub PRs.

I’m staying far, far away from this nonsense. Personally I only write in JavaScript anyway and only use tsc for type checking. Will pin to v6 for as long as humanly possible.

DOA.

I completely agree, and I’ve said as much. meta tags + RSS is all your blog needs.

The downsizings will continue until morale improves.

I’ve been sharing this far and wide today, and bookmarked as a must-have resource. Absolutely fantastic article, with reams of modern best practices. Love to see it!

Overhyped then.

Overhyped now.

Stop trying to make “API economy” happen! 😂

I suppose nobody should work with you then, since you’re here complaining about things publicly.
