Tôi đã làm lại trò chơi ném xúc xắc 20 năm tuổi của bố tôi cho web hiện đại. Trò chơi Yumbee, giống như Yahtzee, được viết lại bằng Next.js và Tailwind CSS. Không có quảng cáo hoặc theo dõi. #TròChơi #WebHiệnĐại #Yumbee #DiceGame #ModernWeb #Gaming

I was looking for information online and ended up on a tech stack I did not know. Out of curiosity, I opened the website.
The first thing I noticed was a series of clickable AI logos with the label "Summarize $PROJECT with AI".

To me, this is one of the clearest examples of the failure of a certain modern web. It means the page is so full of useless content, marketing language, hype, and buzzwords that even its authors realize it is impossible to extract meaningful information from it. In short, communicative bloatware.

This raises two questions.

First: if you realize the content is impossible to understand, why not rethink the entire site to make it actually communicative?

Second: if you realize an AI is needed to explain it, why not use it yourself once and publish a simplified page, instead of making every visitor click a button, generate essentially identical prompts, and create load, consumption, and environmental impact that are entirely avoidable?

This is not an argument against AI. It is an argument against the useless, costly, and harmful abuse of it, to the point of delegating even the decision of how to sit on a couch.

FOSS Advent Calendar - Door 18: Build at the Speed of Thought with Hugo

Tired of slow, bloated websites? Meet Hugo, the world's fastest static site generator. Written in Go, Hugo transforms your Markdown content and templates into a complete, optimized website in milliseconds. Whether you're building a blog, portfolio, documentation, or a company site, Hugo gives you simplicity, speed, and security by default.

Unlike database-driven CMS, Hugo generates pure HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This means your site loads instantly, is immune to common security vulnerabilities, and can be hosted anywhere for free, GitHub Pages, Netlify, or a simple web server. Its powerful theming system and shortcodes let you create complex layouts without touching JavaScript frameworks, while live-reload development makes writing a joy.

Pro tip: Use Hugo with Netlify CMS for a static site with a dynamic editing experience. You get a Git-based workflow with a friendly admin UI for your content team. With Hugo, you're not just building websites; you're crafting lightning-fast experiences.

What would you build at web speed? A personal blog that loads in a blink, company documentation that's always online, or a portfolio that shines without JavaScript?

The fall of Labubus and the mush of modern internet trends

Labubus fell irrelevant quicker than they became a global phenomenon. The trend’s short lifespan may be a new normal for today’s internet.

You land on a new website, eager to read an article or check a product price, and before the page even finishes loading, it appears: the dreaded cookie banner.
