Session talk

Vibe code is legacy code | Val Town Blog
When you vibe code, you are incurring tech debt as fast as the LLM can spit it out. Which is why vibe coding is perfect for prototypes and throwaway projects: It’s only legacy code if you have to maintain it!

If you don’t understand the code, your only recourse is to ask AI to fix it for you, which is like paying off credit card debt with another credit card.

It’s time for modern CSS to kill the SPA - Jono Alderson
jonoalderson.com/conjecture/its-time-for-modern-css-to-kill-the-spa/
SPAs were a clever solution to a temporary limitation. But that limitation no longer exists.
Use modern server rendering. Use actual pages. Animate with CSS. Preload with intent. Ship less JavaScript.
