💡 Why Do You Need Big Tech for Your SSG?
You don’t need the big tech to host your little static blog, a little server, ssh and few line of bash can do the tricks and it can stay up when Cloudflare for exemple is down x).

🤖 TypeScript’s rise in the AI era

😓 Why CSS Is So Hard for Generative AIs to Understand ?
LLM’S are just bad are spatial reasoning and when you write CSS, you also need HTML to know the result. You have an endless way of doing things with CSS so the LLM are lost in it.
TLDR : use Tailwind when telling an LLM to build some UI because its easier to match one class to one property for the LLM. ( I am not promoting Tailwind lol ).
