Stop generating, start thinking - localghost
Instead of wanting to learn and improve as humans, and build better software, we’ve outsourced our mistakes to an unthinking algorithm.

I made this "ad" for one of Cursor's recent features. It finally solves the terrible problem of knowing CSS.

CSS is so powerful now, it's amazing looking through older CSS and seeing what can be replaced with a one-liner. I'm on the hunt for snippets that used to be multiple lines of CSS that can now be done in one. Show me what you got!

This talk by @bell.bz is gold imo As a freelancer, you're expected to slot into an organisation and keep things moving with minimal friction. Keeping your head down and plowing through will only get you so far though and, to do great work, you have to prioritise planning & communication over coding

As for the aspect ratio, this is unintended, provoked by a selector that was too broadly defined. I fixed this here: github.com/madrilene/el... I'm really surprised that this hasn't been noticed before.

I can't start your project due to the image dimensions - I saw that you added options to the shortcode to fix this, but does not work for me. Let me know if you found a way, I might want to add this to the starter!
