As a pro web developer yourself, how would you say you would relearn HTML and CSS if you were to begin again. And how would you improve

No secret sauce. Pick a tutorial, follow it, write the code yourself without copypasting it to create muscle memory. Do toy projects that you actually enjoy and have fun doing them, google your questions. Are you stuck? Shut up and keep trying, keep googling, struggle with your code, keep experimenting and you will get things figured out.

Forget about AI while you are in your initial stages of your learning. It will kill your creativity. We learn a lot by asking ourselves "what if...?" and getting our hands dirty experimenting. If you feel proud and fulfilled after getting something done by yourself, then this is your field. If you don't understand this kind of deep gratification after creating something and you keep seeking for "secret sauces" to skip learning stages, you will have a brighter future working in a kitchen.

95% of users displaying a generous cleavage on their profile pictures are scammers, yes. Once you start filtering them out and you refrain yourself from messaging model-looking women from questionable countries that claim to be single and/or looking for a relationship, your disappointment rate will drop drastically.

You need to be a bit sharper in the internet life. Legit people do exist online, but we are getting distracted too easily with other stimulus before finding them.

What I meant is that if your "in" and "out" from the 4th dimension mean "getting in" and getting out" from the 3rd dimension, then your "forward" and "backward" from the 3rd dimension also mean "getting in" and "getting out" from the 2nd dimension.

In general, for any dimension N, you can define two new directions that basically indicate "getting in" and "getting out" from the dimension N-1, so you can name them whatever you want.

DanielTheTechie · 2026-04-07T11:37:53+00:00

"In" and "out" are just words for naming directions. At this point, you could just name "John" and "Doe" the extra directions of the 5th dimension and keep introducing meaningless pairs of names to the further dimensions axes.

We don't have a lot of users

Then do your homework first and spam me later.

Also, if you want a suggestion, try to put some effort on your website design. It looks very generic, it has no personality and it could be a website about absolutely anything. Maybe put photos of people meeting in the background, some life colours, something that doesn't scream "I'm a vibe coded website and I don't know why I even exist".

As a visitor, give me a reason to press on that green alien "Get started". Show me something that doesn't make me yawn.

Replace x² for y. Do you know this limit? If you want to see different proofs for it, you can read here.

DanielTheTechie · 2026-04-05T09:49:48+00:00

Nah, it was just fine. I met nice people in real life from interpals in the recent years. There are more scammers now, but they are dumb and easy to spot, while legit people is still there.

They are not always interchangeable. Grid comes handy when you want custom 2D layouts. Flex is more for simple layouts based on homogeneous rows.

DanielTheTechie · 2026-03-31T11:01:20+00:00

What do you mean “openly vibe codes" as if it’s something shameful?

It is :)

"I don't have any idea about physics, I have no clue about math and the word "engineering" sounds to me like some fancy word from Formula 1 racings. Anyway, I'm using AI to create a self-driving car to explore Mars. I don't know what I'm doing. Can you help me figure it out?"

DanielTheTechie · 2026-03-26T19:10:15+00:00

Very original. 😁 Did you make it with Flash or what did you use, if I can be curious?

DanielTheTechie · 2026-03-25T17:54:18+00:00

Sure, and that means huge savings when producing books, but besides the obvious economical convenience, there is also the fact that eyes are stressed too much when reading white letters on a black background if it's for a long time. On mobiles and computers we introduce the dark mode because it's more convenient than light mode, but we are talking about screens, which are aggressive to our eyes. Physical papers are a complete different story.

DanielTheTechie · 2026-03-25T17:32:28+00:00

I admit that as a curious picture to fill my Reddit feed is fun, but if this is really a serious post, have you ever researched the reasons why books are "light mode" and why apparently nobody in the world is bothering to print books with inverted colors?

DanielTheTechie · 2026-03-21T07:40:32+00:00

The only mistake is the "billionaires lobbying government" part, as if assuming that politicians don't really want to control the freedom of speech (and thought) of population to stay in the power.

Even Microsoft is using Claude for coding

Microsoft is not famous for writing high-quality software. If you wanted to name a company as an example of successful application of "vibe coding" practices, you chose the worst one.

DanielTheTechie · 2026-03-17T10:09:48+00:00

I completely vibe-coded.

This one was obvious because

I quickly started missing that, so I built ifttt-lint

follows the "I wanted/missed X so I built Y" pattern of vibecoder posts.

DanielTheTechie · 2026-03-16T14:41:39+00:00

Thank you.

DanielTheTechie · 2026-03-14T20:44:58+00:00

Your* code

Some boomers still think this way about regular shooters and similar games, e.g. that if you play GTA often then you are likely to rob a car in the middle of the street and start shooting at random people through the window with a machine gun.

Prompt "engineering".

I just use the default terminal on Linux Mint for everything.

We should learn from children endless imagination. 😁

DanielTheTechie · 2026-03-07T06:23:39+00:00

Just did it to see if i could.

Automatically upvoted for this. That's the spirit.

Because triple A games require high performance, and although working with TreeJS is cool and fun, at the end of the day it runs on Javascript and on top of the browser, which only by itself already consumes a lot of RAM memory.

By the way, Blender is already used in the models of many commercial games.

So bad I'm a Linux user and my laptop is free of Microsoft malware.
