The most interesting thing for me is that I am sure it does.
I have been coding for 20+ years and I have used AI agents for coding a lot, especially for the last month and a half. I can't say for sure they make me faster.They definitely do for some tasks, but over all? I can solve some tasks really quickly, but at the same time my understanding of the code is not as good as it was before. I am much less confident that is is correct.
LLMs clearly make junior and mid level engineers faster, but it is much harder to say for Senior.
Exactly, I would be suspicious of anyone who can remember the syntax .
Timing functions is the most extreme example IMO. Being able to visualize a Bezier curve from cubic-bezier(0.47, -0.02, 0.57, 1.04), and THEN mentally map that to an animation behavior is just not humanly possible :)
Modern CSS is amazing. It empowers us to build incredible experiences on the web, but as CSS becomes more powerful, we are beginning to see a new weak point.
the editor is currently closely coupled to our hosting platform which is built on top of cloudflare. we want the open source version to be independant of that
All I can say is that your experience from that time was very different from mine.
I don't really understand why you first claim that designers absolutely were not writing CSS and then go onto admitting that they even wrote articles about why everyone should.
That is a very clear contradiction. Clearly a lot of designers were writing CSS otherwise they wouldn't write about it...
