Calling it a stress test seems a bit off. Would we say that invention of lightbulbs was a "stress test" for candle related business models? Or would we just say that business models had to change in response to current events.

Drop the "test". Just "stress" – it's cleaner.

Are you saying the www consortium should be paying to keep Tailwind development and maintenance going? The css standard is not the same as a usable library of components.

Tailwind is open source. Anyone can contribute to it, including an LLM.

If the founder of Tailwind quits on it, others who deem Tailwind valuable enough will continue to maintain it.


You're just parroting what you've heard. The reality of continuing an abandoned project is not that simple.

> others who deem Tailwind valuable enough will continue to maintain it.

We have seen several examples in the last couple of years where this is simply not true enough. There are multiple open source projects that do not receive enough TLC.


Then it isn't important enough to people.

If my company relies on an open source project and it isn't being maintained, I can either ask my company to start maintaining it or find something else or accept the risk of a an unmaintained project.


That's a good thing if it means it would reduce the incentive for mega corps to steal other people's work.

CSS the standard is still getting updated, browsers are still updating and making their own slightly different interpretations of the standard, so a CSS library can't be "complete" except for a moment in time.

The poster you responded to didn't claim that drugs were universally helpful. I think the main point is that there is no universal that works for everyone. For some exercise works, for some drugs, for others therapy. And "works" isn't a yes/no, one might work a little for you, one might work super great.

The poster questioned the universality of exercise. And the went on to say that drugs worked for them in the next sentence. Clearly the two statements are related.

Anecdotal data isn't sufficient to infer a universal rule. The point of my comment wasn't to argue for drugs. It was to push back against the idea that drugs like anti-depressants are unnecessary and bad, which I see all the time when this topic comes up. A common take is "why use or prescribe drugs when apparently exercise works fine against depression?"

The UI absolutely could influence the backend usage.

Think about a web browser that respects cache lifetimes vs one that downloads everything everytime. As an ISP I'd be more likely to offer you unlimited bandwidth if I knew you were using a caching browser.

Likewise Claude code can optimize how it uses tokens and potentially provide the same benefit with less usage.


It's not clear how much Google is kicking in, it might not actually be enough to keep Tailwind going.

Well now that it's on the HN front page, it had better be a lot :). If it's 6k this will be a bit of a PR kerfuffle.

No compliler automatically supports all languages so I do all my programming with a magnetized needle and a steady hand.

I do all my programming by only making self sustaining full scale universe simulations that contain a copy of myself, so that by the strong anthropic principle the code has already been written.

Visual Studio Code has a similar global AI opt out option.

I would call this a history quiz, not a puzzle. The "ripples" are not deducible from the info given.

Disagree. I just tried it--yes, I knew the history but I would have predicted those results anyway.
