taking a short break from the odin project. tomorrow i'm heading to japan for 12 days. 🇯🇵 i'll probably miss studying more than i expect, but the lessons will still be there when i get back. time to recharge. have a great week, everyone!

@MatthewBerman well, the week is still young..

it's not easy to use your full Codex quota in a week

@festusblaqe @JoshWComeau chief point is enjoying the whole process for me atm.

@vathozdev @JoshWComeau buidling and learning>>

today's lesson wasn't really about css resets. it was realizing that browsers already have their own stylesheet before mine even loads. for a long time i assumed a blank html page was actually blank. i also really liked @JoshWComeau 's idea of changing only the defaults that get in your way instead of wiping everything clean. it feels like a much more intentional way of building things.

@syntax_voyager I define working "smart" as: read your own signals before you crash.

Taking this weekend off to rest was the best decision I could have made. Tomorrow, I’m getting back to my routine. #WebDevelopment #JavaScript #TheOdinProject #LearningInPublic

@mattpocockuk i think the goal isn't to trust the model. it's to build a workflow where the model doesn't have to be trusted.

10 minutes using Fable, 2 factuality-based hallucinations already Never trust an LLM

@jacobli99 border-radius: yes

If I see this on ur poster I might just walk away

@delba_oliveira feels like the equivalent of reading the map before walking the city.

You don't need to read code anymore. Read architectural changes first, then code, if necessary. Hey Claude, walk me through your architectural changes (before/after) in an html file: modules and their dependencies, seams, function signatures, etc. use visuals like mermaid diagrams. This works better if 1. you've given Claude a lot of ways to verify its work 2. you're iterating on architectural decisions with Claude upfront, before code gets written

@syntax_voyager yep, I noticed that first stages of the javascript path is full of reading materials.

@vathozdev It’s going to be even more fun; a lot of reading, as usual, but also more challenges. I’m still at the beginning, though. It’s been a bit slow on my end.

completed the foundations path of the odin project.🎊 nearly 90 days ago i started learning web development with almost no knowledge. looking back, i think the biggest change wasn't learning html, css, or javascript themselves, but learning how to approach problems.

@yostina_abera thanks a lot! "The Odin Project is a completely free, open-source online curriculum that teaches full-stack web development from the ground up."

@vathozdev Congrats but what is odin?

@MetaMask my wallet already makes bad decisions. not sure it needs an ai partner..

turns out everyone needs the MetaMask Agent Wallet. x.com/MetaMask/statu…

@markgadala we've been confusing "can generate" with "can replace" for a while now.

Fable 5 is so good at web design that I genuinely don't see how web design careers make it past the end of this year. An AI that can one shot designs this good means that the web design industry as a whole is in serious trouble. If you're in web design, it's time to pivot.

@mattpocockuk the ui makes it feel less like chatting with an ai and more like collaborating with an editor.

I fucking love prototyping Wayfinder killing it again with a modal I can open anywhere to edit the text of my courses with AI

@orcdev "good enough and predictable" usually wins in enterprise..

talked to some normie dev friends yesterday they all have company Claude accounts and... they're all limited to Sonnet 5

@CFDevelop looks interesting. my first thought is how formatters, linters and editors deal with everyone using different syntax.

Programming languages are just not going to be the same. This is what a language with zero compromise looks like: Osprey! Don't like it? Build your own syntax flavor!

@mikeydsoftware thanks a lot!

@vathozdev 🥳 Congrats! Problem solving is the name of the game!

@ClaudeDevs persistent outputs > ephemeral chat responses

Artifacts in Claude Code are now also available on Pro and Max plans. Ask for an artifact, Claude writes the code, publishes it live to claude.a‍i, and updates it in real time while it keeps working. Pages are private to your account and fully self-contained.

@kirawontmiss the netflix producer probably hit "save for later"

the documentaries that are gonna come out about this party in 10 years are gonna be insane

@VictorOsunrinde I remember that was so much fun for me but also I didn't really want to complete extra challenge part which wants us to add rgb color feature etc...

Day 39 — Odin Project Worked on the Etch-a-Sketch project today. The biggest thing I learned wasn't new syntax; it was how to think through the problem before writing code. Tomorrow's challenge: making the grid size dynamic based on user input. #BuildingInPublic #webdev
