    Every time I see that face I want to get violent. I want to just bash his head in with an axe handle. That fake ass fucking smile just drives me to rage and I don’t know why.

      The smile doesn’t reach his eyes. When someone is genuinely smiling, the area around the eyes wrinkle up some (especially the outside corners). Fake smiles don’t do that, not without conscious effort. It’s so unsettling because it’s setting off an instinctual urge of “this guy is being deceptive and is likely a threat”. You can check by covering part of the face in the image: cover the mouth, and the eyes just look dead and soulless.

      I’m not usually one to knock someone’s appearance but you’re right with this guy’s weird friggin grin. Like it’s not genuine or even appearing to be, in the slightest.

      It’s so cynical, cold, creepy and soulless. How did the A-B testing that drives his every single decision settle on that expression?

    Hah. How about this: trap 1,000 regular web developers in a room. First one to use a proper semantic element instead of a div wins $1 million.

      Good luck finding 1000 regular Web developers in this market

      Or any market really, they really like their caves

        I’m one of those old devs that has been writing CSS for like 18 years. It’s funny. Even with access to AI, folks still ask me CSS questions because I actually know the ins and outs of it.

          I’d take “ask questions to that ancient dev even if it take 10 minutes of history lesson everytime” over using AI

    It’s not a difficult task at all without AI. I mean if they can use forms and sites like the og stackoverflow, w3 schools,.etc

      That’s a big “IF” tho. I’ve been teaching embedded programming classes and had to teach folks some very basic stuff like how to RTFM or how to look for stuff on the internet - people don’t even use search engines anymore. 🌚

        Claude has become the search Engine. Stackoverflow doesn’t even exist in the mind of Vibe coders around me. Disconnecting claude means coffee-time until it’s back

          I still use a normal search engine. I use AI chats when I really need it for something. Well it does makes thing easier tho

        I’ve been wanting to try embedded programming for a while, it looks fun!
        What would you recommend as a starting point? Any books I should pick up?

          If you’re very new to that - I’d just recommend picking up some Arduino (at least UNO R3) starter kit plus some measurement tools - multimeter and maybe an oscilloscope (there are cheap handheld ones like DSO).

          And then you just fool around with what you’ve got - try to read each sensors data, try to use each actuator, think of some useful projects with what you’ve got.

          And from there you can go to stuff like ESP32 to explore wireless stuff (mostly compatible with Arduino too).

      that’s a big IF. few weeks ago I had to teach a junior dev how divs worked, he had no idea. he even initially asked an LLM how they worked and the LLM hallucinated half the responses.

      I’m a backend engineer that only does minor frontend tasks once in a blue moon, and on the top of my head I know two ways to center a div horizontally (well 3 with the obvious <center>) and one to center it vertically. When I hear frontend developers saying it’s hard, I always start questioning their competence at a basic level.

      As someone with very little programming knowledge, the existence of all the “Learn how to program in our easy to use course and AI Assistance for $800 a month!” sites baffles me when w3schools is just… there. It has helped me massively, without a dime.

      I also just realised that the about page of w3s has a ChatGPT section of “This is how ChatGPT describes W3Schools”, why???

    solved it:

    take a screenshot of the div in question, set it as a background for the body and make it no-repeat, center center… don’t forget to slap some fancy 100vh for the body too…

    done! It will even render exactly the same so it is cross-browser ready!

    use the option cover and it will work for all screen sizes and resolutions!

    add diabolical-laughter-047.mp3 as the unstoppable music loop and like seven useless frameworks for additional style points, ohh and like three font families… just in case… and definitely some analytics from BIG G

    — profit.
