One thing I've learned during my time writing software release manuals (from before the time we automated much of that), is that reading a manual is a skill that few people possess. Many people, especially tech-savvy people, will open a manual halfway to orient themselves, fail to notice when their brain switches to do-mode when it recognizes something, and simply ignore the first steps. Following a manual requires attention and discipline.

Sharing this not because it’s about AI/LLMs but because it’s solid advice and the recommendations work equally well for *people* coding web applications (funny that, almost like these things were made by people for people or something).

TL;DR: Use web and platform standards; don’t reinvent the wheel.
