664: Figma Sites, CSS Carousels, and Internship Prep

Hey there, Shopmaniacs. You're listening to another episode of the Shop Talk Show podcast all about front end web design development and probably a bunch of freaking AI. I'm Dave Rupert with me, Chris. Hey, Chris. How are you doing? Fantastic. How are you, Dave? It's hard to ignore the old AI. You know? It's in every Yeah. It is. Course. It's in every everything. You know? So Mhmm. It's just a constant. I don't have too much in my brain about it. I I noticed the, the Windsurf one. It wasn't it wasn't too long ago where I I tried out a bunch of them, including Windsurf. Windsurf is one of these Versus code forks from the company called Codeium that renamed themselves to WinServ as part of kinda creating that browser. And you know what? I thought it was pretty good. In some sense, it was one of my favorites because I thought the, you know, it's interesting to see, like, what an interesting design space to take Versus code, which obviously a lot of people like, and just have this little opportunity to just polish it up a little bit. Make a few little decisions. Not make it too too different because people don't want too different. It's already very popular. But, like, you know, round the corners a little bit, which is quite literally what they did in some cases and clean up a little of the UI. I liked it from that perspective. They make the AI more their AI solution more forward. Right? Like, it it's kind of buried or a plug in inside Versus code, like as code. Right? I was never quite clear which things they were unable to do as a plug in because there are some AI companies that are choosing to strongly remain a plug in. Like, we'll just be in Versus Code as a business choice. And I know this to be true that occasionally you know, like, Microsoft can you know, whatever. I know you don't speak for this. It has nothing to do with that. This is just saying they have the right to do whatever they want with Versus Code. You know? And if they, you know No. I mean, I think and, you know, this goes broadly. Any company can do whatever they want with any product. You know, I I heard this fireship goof where they're just like, if AI is so good, why can't AI code an AI editor? But anyway, that was funny. Instead of paying $3,000,000,000 or whatever it was, that was pretty funny dig. I think it's probably usually more about talent and stuff like that and who's going to maintain it. But anyway, there's that whole Chrome threatened to sell DOJ or whatever, you got to sell this. OpenAI is the big name in the acquisition space. I'm sure all Elon would make a play too. But what's interesting about that is you know, I think it's like …
