**Why does AI suck at front-end?**
🗑️ trained on garbage
👀 it can't see
❓ it doesn't know why
🏞️ no environmental control
there's no human v20.2.1 to target. we're a LLM combinatorial explosion
Try the latest `` concept:
⚓️ anchor() progressive enhancement
🤖 workers for color compute
🙈 new animations & interactions
🎨 gamut boundaries, mapping, stretching
☯️ contrast scores
& much more
how to make #CSS view transitions swoop or have motion blur
or how I learned to help view transitions not always go in straight lines

@tobestobs @mwichary 🙂 I know both of y'all no offense. your tone is all good Marcin, no worries and… you're both right!!
- it is simplified and some folks may not interpret it as a starting place but as a final answer, which could be a shame. they'd be missing out on lots of opportunities to tailor it further and in more meaningful contexts and font capabilities
- it was meant to introduce the concept, introduce the features and selectors, and not be some comprehensive solution
rock on y'all

@mwichary @tobestobs i was giving context to the problem space is all, to ground the reason to even start trying to counter balance it's effects.
i've added that mention! hopefully will help spark folks to carry the thought process on and think deeply
