BREAKING: Pico CSS is no longer maintained (final release v2.1.1)
Official announcement: https://t.co/LUnKTnQjSc
For those looking for active alternatives or forks, @BladesCSS (https://t.co/GsPboeThR4) launched earlier this year as a fully compatible, actively maintained successor, and is already adopted by the Flask/Jinja community website, @getGrav CMS v2, and FastHTML.
The creator of the C++ programming language, Bjarne Stroustrup, says AI-generated code is not successful and calls the idea of using natural language as a programming language idiotic.
He says humans will still write code and use abstraction.
According to him, AI generates bloated code with more bugs and security holes, making it hard to validate.
He also says the senior developers needed to validate it are starting to retire because they don’t want to deal with validating something that changes every time you change your prompt.
He goes on to say that AI is not good at writing safety-critical or performance-critical code: “Now, let’s say that 70 or 80% of the world’s code doesn’t fit that pattern, but it’s that 10, 20% of the code that I’m interested in.”
