Hat tip: @Aaron #webstandards #StateoftheWeb #webdesign #development #webdevelopment #PWAs #W3C

I feel like a lot of the web nowadays is bloated, suffering from a chronic inability to "get to the point".

Most times, an article will tease you with a small piece of information and then run around in circles for three pages before revealing it.

While I understand why this happens (SEO, Google optimization, Ads), it's frustrating to say the least.

That's why I'm excited about LLMs and their capability to cut the fat out of an article when asked nicely.
