Our response: &#34;One day, *if* you&#39;re lucky, you might be as old as we are now&#34;.<br/><br/>Eventually they worked out what we were saying and stopped going on about how old we were. 2026-09-24T13:40:45Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsg3q7t2mef07hz8hyzhhymqwmxxz68tgxt9xgue6wwgdljckmee2czyred3gkhsr75apvqaqu9gdwvj4nc3n3xxcvtr38uxtk302a6lz3v528s342 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2k2ar79k65falw0d5zkk5m0x4chal98v6cdcsda9xsm20pl5expg66rez2'>nevent1q…rez2</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>As a required exercise at work I asked an AI to generate a web application wrapper round an existing piece of back-end code.<br/><br/>It generated something that looked like it came from 1995 - pure HTML, no styling at all. But it did work, and you could see everything at one on one screen, no scrolling.<br/><br/>So for a laugh I said &#34;make this look like a 2025 web application, not a 1995 one&#34;. And it generated lots of CSS and suchlike ...<br/><br/>... and did exactly what it was told. 2025-style, what you saw on the screen was mostly wasted white space. We had to scroll vertically to see all the information, and some individual fields needed to be scrolled horizontally.<br/><br/>My colleagues took one look at this and said &#34;we prefer the 1995 version&#34;. So did I, I said, that&#39;s the version I&#39;d committed for production use. 2025-12-04T09:41:59Z
