I’m docking a point or three for recommending AI, but otherwise, yeah, pretty much this. A lot of people need to hear it and start feeling shame.

That’s fair. I don’t agree with them recommending the use of LLMs, either. At least not LLMs that can’t be proven to have been trained exclusively on public-domain materials or one’s own work.

Agree. Anyone recommending AI should be taken out and [insert punishment here].

But yeah. HTML.

Yeah, I’ve got makefiles, bash scripts, sed, awk, and m4. But it all generates HTML. I’m just not using React and other JS frameworks. I don’t think you are, either, so the shoe doesn’t fit either of us.

the extent of js on my website is

  1. it changes tab title to please come back if u navigate away
  2. used for captcha refresh on guestbook page

php only detches blog entries from database and fills it up as html
so yeah, shoe does not fit

And whatever you f**king do, don’t forget to implement the Google surveillance script. :smirk:

  <script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-4MYXVYYWKE"></script>
  <script>
    window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
    function gtag() { dataLayer.push(arguments); }
    gtag('js', new Date());

    gtag('config', 'G-4MYXVYYWKE');
  </script>

Unreadable on widescreen because HTML’s defaults are bad and it’s too late to change them.

Thats why out of the sites like these, I like Better Motherfucking Website the best. Just a few little lines of CSS can help a lot.

I did make me chuckle. And I learned about the <meter> element for the first time despite working on the web since 1997 :slight_smile:
