Debugging Challenge: šŸƒ Where's My Card? šŸƒ
Hey beginners! Here's your first real-world debugging warm-up. You've built a nice little card... but something is horribly wrong with the layout. Look at the three files below. Find the mistake, fix it, and reply with what was wrong + your fixed version of the problematic line. https://codepen.io/ckendig-carlinedadcodes/pen/emzyywp

@Sarah Rhodes yup! That’s correct! An ending Div was missing causing tone card to be nested inside of the other since both have the same class. Good job!

You wrote some CSS for a fancy button… but it’s not applying. Spot the mistake in ~30 seconds. Reply with: what line was wrong + your correction in the comments! šŸ‘‡ https://codepen.io/ckendig-carlinedadcodes/pen/gbMvYQy

@Sarah Rhodes nope. Try again. 😁. The body really isn’t part of this issue. There is something going on in the css that is pretty subtle that’s causing this.

My Updated Thoughts on AI in Coding
Hey folks, You might remember back in September 2025 I dropped a post sharing my initial thoughts on AI in coding. Most of what I said still holds up for me, but after actually using it day-to-day for the last couple weeks, I’ve got some real-world updates and a few tweaks to my take.I finally jumped in and started tinkering—installed Cursor IDE (which comes loaded with those built-in AI agents) and let it loose on my projects. Bottom line: it’s a mixed bag, same as before. There are legit pros, some clear cons, and I’m still 100% not on board with the idea that AI is about to replace developers anytime soon. Here’s what I’ve seen in practice: - New / greenfield projects — this is where it shines. Give it a clean slate and tell it the tech stack you want? It can spin up a solid skeleton stupidly fast—faster than any of us typing from scratch. Huge time-saver there. - Styling / UI polish — eh, not so much. It’ll throw something together that looks generically ā€œfine,ā€ but if you have a specific vibe, brand guidelines, or just want things to feel right, you’re usually back to tweaking by hand. It’s like asking a robot to match your personal taste—it gets close, but rarely nails it. - Existing / legacy codebases — way more hit-or-miss. Simple refactors or small changes can somehow take 5Ɨ longer than if I’d just done them myself (super frustrating). But then it’ll surprise you and handle a chunky piece of business logic flawlessly on the first try. It’s unpredictable, which means you can’t just lean on it blindly. So yeah—no magic bullet. It speeds some stuff up and drags on others. Overall, it makes certain parts of the day a little easier, but it’s not solving every problem or making anyone obsolete. Important part (and I’m dead serious here): You still have to understand your codebase. You still have to know what the AI just spat out, why it did it that way, and where it probably screwed up the edge cases or missed the nuance. There will always be manual adjustments—sometimes small, sometimes big. Developers aren’t going anywhere. If you’re already in the field, you’re still very much needed. If you’re thinking about getting into development, don’t let the hype scare you off—you’re still needed too.
Help understanding how to correctly use skills and MCPs
Hello, could you help me understand how to properly search different websites, for example, for job searching but also for e-commerce, i.e., sourcing and scraping?

I am not super familiar with Skills and MCPs as my full time job doesn't require them right now, but I did go to my favorite source, Grok AI for some answers. Below is the answer it gave to this question (better to click on the link, pasting made the text absolutely horrible): https://x.com/i/grok/share/3f7defc5d1cd4a86a376c5671c6744cb

@Chris Der I’ll have to take a look. Being able to identify that is going to be difficult unless someone has shared their work with GitHub links on like Reddit or something. Have you tried utilizing AI to figure all of this out? It should be able to compile a list of steps to properly set up and use something like this.
