We are at the point where AI starts to seriously impact abilities. Sure, a 2 line CSS fix is the solution, but the human “behind the wheel” has already prompted 6 times and gotten 80% there. It’s been “easy” thus far. No shot they are going to FINALLY look at and edit the code. It’s just one more prompt and the agent will probably fix it, right?
It’s wild. I’ve been in the situation. 80% into a project I COULD probably take over, but realistically? 2 more lines of me prompting could fix it, it’s too easy to avoid the hard work of understanding the code, logic, architecture, etc…
Well the solution is incorrect. The problem seems to be that the css code does not normalize to box-sizing: border-box; among other things. The bad prompt by the author probably sent fable into the wrong rabbit hole
I dunno about beginner, I've been doing HTML+CSS for a few decades and I still find bugs where Safari differs from Chrome+Firefox pretty hard to figure out.
Wouldn't it be easier and better to just copy the HTML div and tell what was happening instead of a screenshot? Typically, these scrollbars appear because of a nested div with dynamic unrestircted width and/or overflow.
All of these negative comments are addressed by the blog post. What do you want them to say, that isn't better answered by the details in their existing communications. No negative comment here was really novel.
