How do you catch visual regressions when restyling?

I m restyling a live app screen by screen, with Claude Code doing the edits. My test suite has 262 tests and all of them pass, but none of them check how a page looks. So a change to shared styles could break a screen and nothing would tell me.

Before each change, I have the agent screenshot every screen I m not supposed to touch, using a fake signed-in session and mocked API responses so no real data is involved. After the change, it captures them again and compares them pixel by pixel. Anything that differs has to be explained.

That caught something I would never have seen. 34 screens matched exactly. One modal didn t: 1,334 of about 215,000 pixels were different. To my eye, before and after looked identical. The cause was that my first version moved the page into a new wrapper, and the old container had been quietly centering the modal s heading. The new one didn t. No test would have complained.

It also showed that a modal kept outside the new wrapper still changed colour, because my theme variables are set on the whole page, not just the wrapper. I had to re-scope the old colours around the modal.

Do we need more ethics in AI?

As Artificial Intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly ubiquitous, it raises important ethical considerations. AI technologies are increasingly integrated into our daily lives, from intelligent virtual assistants to facial recognition software. However, as the capabilities of AI continue to grow, so too do concerns around issues such as data privacy, algorithmic bias, and accountability. According to Platformer, Microsoft laid off an entire team dedicated to guiding AI innovation that leads to ethical, responsible, and sustainable outcomes last week. I'm not sure this is the right way to go. What s your opinion about this?

How do you tell the difference between a 'genuine insight' and 'content' when posting here?

Meta question, but it's been on my mind since I had a post rejected and, rereading it, agreed with the rejection.

The difference I've landed on: content is written to be agreed with. An insight is written to be argued with. Content says "here are five lessons." An insight says "here's the one thing I believe that you might not, and here's why."

The test I now run before posting: could someone reasonably disagree with this? If not, it's content. If yes, and I can defend it, it's worth posting.

I'm curious whether other people have their own test, especially people who post here regularly and don't get rejected. What's the thing you check before hitting submit?

Why is Cursor so much more popular than Windsurf?

My editor journey has been: 1. Tried out Github copilot in VS Code. Loved it. 2. Then tried out @Cursor after @bernatfortet

Has your product ever helped someone close to you?

Most of the time the people we build for are abstract. Personas, segments, users.

This week I set my mom up with something my team built and she caught domething she would have missed otherwise. Small thing. But watching someone you look up to get real value from your work hits different than a dashboard.
