  • You’re describing exactly how all these web tools worked. “HTML, CSS, and JS are too hard to do manually. Here’s a shiny new tool that abstracts all that away and lets you get right to making your site!” Except they all added additional headaches, security concerns, and failed to fill in edge cases, so you still need to know how to do all that HTML, CSS, and JS anyway. That’s exactly how LLM generated code works now. It’ll be useful and common for a while and then the technical debt will pile up and pile up and eventually everyone will look around and think “what the hell were we thinking” and tear it all down.
















  • Jennings was already in the back of a patrol car by the time Roberson, the white woman who called police, emerged. Jennings, she told officers, was a neighbor and a friend of the home’s owner, Roy Milam.

    “OK. Does he have permission here to be watering flowers?” Smith asked.

    “He may, because they are friends,” she replied. “They went out of town today. He may be watering their flowers. It would be completely normal.”

    Milam told the AP that was exactly what happened: He’d asked Jennings to water his wife’s flowers while they were camping in the Tennessee mountains for a few days.

    Watering flowers wasn’t the problem, Smith told Roberson. The issue, he said, was Jennings’ refusal to provide identification after acting “suspicious.”

    Realizing that she’d called police because one neighbor was watering another’s flowers, Roberson said: “This is probably my fault.”

    A few moments later, officers told Roberson that a license plate check showed the gold sport utility vehicle that prompted her call in the first place belonged to Milam. They got Jennings out of the patrol car and he told them his first and last name.

    “I didn’t know it was him,” Roberson told police. “I’m sorry about that.”
