people used to build websites on geocities, blog and copy HTML snippets for their myspace page

@dansup agree with this take. I literally had a personal website (mine was on Xoom.com because I had to be different), but I literally had the flaming text GIF that slowed down the browser loading of the page and copied + pasted snippets from bravenet. It was so much fun

@dansup I'm not a coder, though I write SQL scripts for work, but what you're describing in regards to AI isn't learning or "being a coder". Taking bits and pieces from elsewhere to form your website is hugely different from telling some LLM thing to do all the work for you with no understanding whatsoever of how it actually works. At least cutting and pasting code requires you to figure out how it goes together and you learn iteratively. Using AI is the opposite of learning.
