Fucking jumpscare
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
And their divs.
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
The history lesson is bonus content.
Yes it’s so difficult. /s
I am
<center><div>fuck Mr beast</div></center>oldNeeds more flexbox
I got you fam:
* { display: flex ; }
margin-left: 276px;
Adjust number until it looks centered. Easy peasy.
Make sure to put
!importantat the end just to be sure.Best viewed on Internet Explorer with 800x600 display
People wanting to also center it vertically is what broke the web.
Just add
<br>untill it looks somewhat in the middle, doh…or tables with a lot of spacer.gif
I misread and and thought it said with Claude. Which would still be an interesting challenge 😅
Maybe could be interesting to get an AI to create a prompt for another AI, and send that prompt down the line like Chinese whispers.
Edit : or maybe it wouldn’t be. I havent used LLMs and such for about 5 years. I was fascinated at first and played with them for about 2 days getting them to write limerick and shit, but the novelty wore off fast.
center this div hor and vert no questions asked go its approved
Poor guys, they’ll starve before that happens
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.
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?
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.
Because he is a insufferable douche bag
Looks pretty centered to me ✅
he of course determines who is the winner beforehand, like all his other challenges.
Imagine if it had no internet access but it had all the relevant docs.
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
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.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. 🌚
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).
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
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.
No Claude? No problem! Just ask one of the many other LLMs for the answer. Easiest million ever!
/s
Why is Mr Beast next to the picture of Claude’s butthole?
Huh. All I can see is two pictures of buttholes.
display: gridfor a single element feels kinda cursed to meIt definitely is lol. You’d use this for a landing page content container or something.
flex gang where
I use flex for most stuff 💪🏼
Now make it work on IE6.
Hey. Hey hey hey HEY.
That’s not fair to us.
Random Linux nerds who were bullied. BULLIED, I say. When we coded our personal sites on Netscape on Linux (which was painful enough when Netscape 4 had a hazy understanding of CSS1/2 already) and the site had some random glitches on IE from time when we couldn’t ensure IE compatibility.
This “IE6” shit needs to stay buried, OK? This is “history that must never repeat” shit, OK? OK. Good.
BONUS JOKE:
There was a whole range of jokes dedicated to what happens when you shoot yourself on foot with your favourite programming language.
My favourite was this:
“You shoot yourself in the foot with JavaScript.
If using Netscape, your arm falls off.
If using MSIE, your head explodes.”After adding rounded corners.
Ah, I remember the days when they used to be using PNGs for those.
Ah, and I remember doing it.
I wish I didn’t.
PNGs!? Oh sweet summer child…
IE6 didn’t support PNGs? I guess I could misremember but I am fairly sure it did.
Not transparent PNGs without using some cursed vendor css filter stuff
Just throw it in a flexbox with
margin: auto
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 fancy100vhfor the body too…done! It will even render exactly the same so it is cross-browser ready!
use the option
coverand it will work for all screen sizes and resolutions!add
diabolical-laughter-047.mp3as 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.
