retoor10861dI wish I could say that. All my code is handwritten too. But html not and I use autocompletion hardcore. It predicts so good these days. Tab tab tab. There's no reason anymore not to use it. A few months ago it made a tons of small mistakes that are so unexpected thar you were like "huh?" all the time. Mistakes too stupid to be human.

retoor10861d@kiki you gave me an amazing idea for a project. My review and refractor tool work perfect, in that way I can also validate if source code is made by AI maybe.. Let people do the AI check before they may put the badge.
I need a "Fair use AI batch".
But yes, I gonna mention on website too what is AI and what not. -
kiki353281d@retoor approaching 10 years in frontend development experience, I never make mistakes in HTML and CSS. Literally never happens. Plus, the kind of code I write for my personal projects is too unconventional for the AI to figure out.
I spent days building just the grid for this project, and let me tell you that now I know every single wrong way to build an exotic grid, and one right one -
kiki353281d@retoor AI is very good at producing huge quantities of garbage code. It’s especially good at boilerplates. If you remove the AI buzzword, what you’re doing is automatically expanding your real intent (e.g. the prompt) into the code that can be executed. If said code needs to be orders of magnitude longer, AI is the worst solution possible. It’s like adding one more lane to a 26-lane highway and expecting it to fix traffic.
Because I have the exact control over my code, I achieved almost zero boilerplate. My code is only marginally longer than my prompts would’ve been if the AI was given my entire codebase as context.
The downside is that I this is too thin of a brush so to speak, the room for error is really slim. So, there is no magic in what I do: I just spend 3 hrs on 40 lines of code while Go/Python guys spend the same time on 400, and C#/Java guys — on 4000. -
retoor10861d@kiki me too, but with backend. Also everything handcrafted. I already hated the phrase "Google made programmers equal" or "Programming is just googling a lot". Retards, I write one line per minute in 12 hours on average day not because I'm googling shit. I figure shit out myself and as bonus I will remember it forever bevause of the effort in it. I got different llm's opinion about my code and it's very, very different. Using no dependencies and writing all stuff without libs is by one considered highly skilled and the other says lack of library knowledge. I actually researched a lot like a programming language literally whole source, nginx source but that was before I monitored my keylogs. But logging keys was best idea ever! This data is so raw, any llm, even the light weights understand it and are fast in parsing a lot. It nows me very good based on keypresses of few weeks. Sadly, got is still the best interpreter. Real one, not api. Api is the Walmart gpt. Not the same.

opus writes sexy code but I don't have access to it anymore
you could give it inefficient code and ask for it to remove redundancies and it kept working
and o1 was good at knowing what libraries you can use but way too verbose -
retoor10861h@cprn I don't freaking think so. The AI one has the colors I want. Since I can't even chose that well I just as for a dark or light themed site with rounderd corners and flat buttons or whatever. To find a template having that you have to spend time.
Ai never delivers what you want, but it's closer than existing template and for me, it's perfect, my requirements for html / css arent that high. I consider it not my job. Stupid to let me do it, I do it slower and worse than anyone. The only good thing about it is that it's valid xhtml if i do it, and nobody cares about that anymore. Giving image alts and urls titles. -
retoor10861h@jestdotty you don't need o1 for that, take gpt4o-mini or even a self hosted qwen2.5:1.5b can do that.
I automated refractor of file completely. I only have to type "refractor [filename]" and it will add my name, mit license, file functionality description and will do the indeting more modern, sort imports and apply the new print statements if the old one is used what I do. It always asks for confirm and if yes - it saves a incremental backup and the new content. It does additions to your code, not rewrite it.
Just made this for my new project
