I like this statement:

> The web browser is very, very, very powerful software for applications, and the cost of accessing that power is going down seemingly every day.

It's wild how much easier it is to build things that harness web technology these days. I'm building features on top of three.js and offline storage and SSE and WebAudio and WebAssembly multiple times per week these days. I used to tinker with some of those maybe once or twice a year.

Why three.js? Your LLM will do fine without it and be able to optimize further for your particular use case without being stopped by three.js architecture that may or may not fit your project.

Ask your LLM, "Can we remove three.js so that we can re-architect the graphics system to be more optimized for our specific use case?" and see what it comes back with.

You mean the LLM is?

Reminds me of the “you made this? … I made this” meme.

unless you are hand writing machine code, miss us with this arbitrary nonsense.

Handwriting machine code seems like an arbitrary line to draw.

I'll preface that "built" is an overloaded term, and different people use LLMs with lower or higher levels of involvement.

But does a tech lead "build" a feature when he delegates to a junior engineer and makes suggestions/corrections as needed?

With modern agentic coding harnesses, the delegation analogy seems much more apt than a compiler analogy, which never really held water.

I write my side projects with a magnetized needle and a steady hand.
