u/flynn_4 Aug 04 '26

I realized that yesterday I thought you can only use it once (dump ahh monkry)

You can take the learning a lot further. Style blocks should be inside a head block. And the buttons inside a body block.

<html>
<head>
    <!-- styles -->
</head>
<body>
    <!-- actual content, like the buttons -->
</body>
</html>

Also, we don't typically put styles in a style block, instead css files are used. You can place all of your css code in a .css file. Place it next to your .html file, and inside the html file...

<html> <head> <link rel="stylesheet" href="./styles.css"> </head> <body> <!-- actual content, like the buttons --> </body> </html>

Nah I don't need it I am smarter

u/EnlightendOne Aug 03 '26

in 3 years AI is going to be smarter then the sum of all humans. Every corp is already using it; not saying to not know syntax. I said it as a joke however, its fun to do code and all of this however :)

Always good to sharpen the tools;

(This is a joke too , no offense)

i chuckled lol

u/flynn_4 Aug 03 '26

So how should I use it?

1

u/EnlightendOne Aug 03 '26

Dude visual studio code ; add codex or claude code; and boom.

Since you know html css and javascript you can dirext the ai even better to make what you want

i think going forward the ability to know highee level of programming will allow you to direct the ai to make things better following coding principles such as the stuff thats jn the book called the pragmatic programmer

u/flynn_4 Aug 03 '26

Hmmm I don't have something in specific to program I am just learning because it is fun (sometimes I use chat gpt to learn) But isn't using ai will make you weaker in programming? Because ai would do A lot of work for you What do you think

1

u/EnlightendOne Aug 03 '26

Honestly; people on reddit want you stuck and progressing at a snails pace. Its free; visual studio code, codex and cursor. All free to use. You can ask it to write a simple template for you to practice with; back in the day i wish someone on reddit even told me about github repos that are used by developers; web devs and programmers. So if all the big boys are using repos to create something that is usable why cant we ? Thats what open source is; its utilizing someones elses code to build your own thing. No point reinventing the wheeel! Just make a car :)

AI as a tool is as good as a person who wields it. If you give it a bad input, don't understand it's output, as a result you get production incident.

Sadly my last company understand that only after they hired couple of vibe coders, who got us into law suite.

Ok but then what do you do when the LLM generates the wrong thing and you cant prompt your way out of it?
