Hah. How about this: trap 1,000 regular web developers in a room. First one to use a proper semantic element instead of a div wins $1 million.

Good luck finding 1000 regular Web developers in this market

Or any market really, they really like their caves

[–] Madrigal@lemmy.world 20 points 4 days ago

And their divs.

I’m one of those old devs that has been writing CSS for like 18 years. It’s funny. Even with access to AI, folks still ask me CSS questions because I actually know the ins and outs of it.

I'd take "ask questions to that ancient dev even if it take 10 minutes of history lesson everytime" over using AI

The history lesson is bonus content.
