Using the space bar to scroll in overlay puts the next line of text underneath the slightly-transparent header so that I have to adjust backward to see it, often after reading a few words from the wrong spot and getting confused. (Edited to add: okay, obviously not so often after I recognized the pattern, but I’m prospectively amused that if/when this gets changed I’ll have to adjust the habit a second time.)
(Is this what frontend Web development is just like? Should I pawn off as much of it as possible on AI in the future? Will that work, or will it drive the AI mad? Or will I be insufficiently inured when I have to dive in and fix a bug that it can’t handle, and then I’ll lose a day gibbering, thus canceling out the time and sanity saved?)
Huh, I never scroll that way but I see what you mean. I’ll see what I can do.
Yeah, frontend web development is a lot like this. The current AIs are both stateless, already mad, and seemingly indefatigable though get a bit loopy the longer the conversation goes on. You feed them $$ and sanity points and problems get solved faster, hopefully. There’s sometimes sanity saved when debugging something gnarly, but in the regular course of things you (or at least I) am spending mine down. (It doesn’t matter how many times I ask it not to, Claude Opus 4 will revert to saying “you’re absolutely right!” about everything.) Move over autistic savant, we got alzheimers savant now.

I just coded a fix for this, will get deployed soon.
