Was just listening to a video about Hugo too, not that I can remember much of it (too many tallies today)

This is a great message and thank you for the feedback!

To answer about the AI usage, the short answer is yes and no. I do use AI in some cases, like when I need to deep-dive into some topics or when a part doesn’t make any sense to me. But as mentioned above, I have been doing this as a hobby for years, way before even chatgpt got released.

Right now, I’m doing Engineering Technology (ET) in my school and we have to learn all these things, I mean HTML, CSS, PHP, Python, SQL, database handling, and many more. I’ve had a lot of hands on experience, and I’m really happy that I was already into these things before AI got popular. Because of that, I had to learn the hardcore way. I can’t use AI in my school exam hall to write the code on my paper, so I think you got the idea!

I’m still learning and I’m definitely not a master at everything. If I had just used AI all these years to generate code and copy-paste it, I would be totally done for in my exams.

So, I’m not saying getting help from AI is bad, but you absolutely need to understand what the AI writes, and you need to understand every single line of code you use. As you said, I’m definitely not recommending vibecoding a full app if it gets connected to a real database that could easily turn into a total disaster at the production level!

I think this answers those questions, If there is more doubts please feel free to send them. :grin:

Thank you! :purple_heart:

I appreciate the feedback! There has been an huge rise in ā€œvibecodersā€ where they’ll be introducing a product, but not actually know how it works. I’ve been actively pointing them out lately, atleast making it known that they’re using AI.

I’m happy you’re not one of them! To be clear, I’m not discouraging the use of AI, but solely prompt coding is very bad practice.

For what its worth, what caught my attention was these strings that caught my attention. As they’re quite commonly used in LLM output.

Anyways, sorry for taking this thread completely off the rails. You guys can continue with your discussion and I’ll get out of here. Hopefully this one goes through, it looks great =D

No It’s not going off the rails and you are correct on this one. I did mentioned that I used dummy text to fill the screen because i had no idea about what to use, I checked the current site and there’s nothing I can use in my version, I did used to generate those hero text section and I clearly mentioned @Bryanpwo on PM that I need help with writings because that’s completely out of my path and he agreed to help on that. So yeah that’s the story. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Sorry about not mentioning use of AI to write that section text in the post I created.


It’s fair enough. Before LLM’s we might have just used lorem ipsum, which is obviously jargon. At least now we can use placeholder content that’s somewhat legible :sweat_smile:

Yeah true :sweat_smile:

Old guy view on webiste tooling… FWIW I personally use mk-docs with mkdocs-material and find it to be outstanding. My ā€˜static’ website has some 800+ pages. I tried Hugo and numerous other SSG toolkits, none worked as well as MKdocs does for me.

Nice to know actually I have been used mkdocs and mkdocs-material theme. It’s really great but it can’t touch the speed of hugo. 800+ pages are really impressive. btw if you like mkdocs more and need something more modern and customizations you should try zensical.org which is created by the original developers of mkdocs-material theme. Good luck!

Edit: Can I know how much time is it taking to write 800+ pages at once in mkdocs? In hugo it’s like less than 1 second I assume.

If you want to see my too large repositories words and … they are at https://treemagic.org/ There is no tracking, no user accounts, no license fees, no driving rules… :wink:

No amount of work gives you a right to a review if you did it without officials agreeing to it / asking for it. And many projects are happy with their presentation, or are happy enough that they don’t want to spent their precious time on extensively reviewing a website. Or maintaining it later down the road…
This is why I think many places are quick to shutdown such efforts, especially if they are unsolicited.
