alt Hacker Newslearning css is going to go the way of learning jquery. at this stage with AI, having a fundamental grasp on css is about all you need. with the stuff that claude and company can produce, do anyone really code css by hand anymore?

Vibe coders / Slopgineers that don't know the foundations of how these systems work are going to fall behind people who actually know how to program. Just because the machine can spit out text quickly doesn't mean it's good. And no, what all of these LLMs output isn't good css.
Comparing an outdated JavaScript library to a fundamental web technology doesn’t make sense to me at all.
If you work with the web in any serious way as a professional, AI or not, yes you should learn and understand CSS.
