Should posts like this have [Satire] added to the title? I know sometimes people have a hard time clicking links and only read the title before commenting (example "How to monetize a blog" I posted here previously), but I want to learn what y'all think it is best.

Probably a good idea. Personally, I only assume an article headline is satire when it's posted to The Onion/Ate The Onion or other communities that are focused on satire as communities like this one are meant for serious stuff. Otherwise it's assumed to be click/rage bait.

I'd prefer them to be obvious. Just like we title posts to describe them, and put them into communities, mark them nsfw or not, whether it's satire or not is an important differentiator.

The future of all computing is AI. Get on or get left behind.

Satire?... hm... for quite some time already, people have been proposing we get rid of all software, and instead use real-time generative AI to render what some software would do.

AI cosplaying as software... imagine "web development", where the "browser" were an AI simulating to be a browser, connecting to an AI simulating to be a server... what would "web development" even mean anymore?

~~The future of web development is XHTML. Get on or get left behind.~~

Transitional XHTML resulted in extremely organized (if verbose) DOMs and delivered features that took forever to show up in HTML5.

It also sniffed out the sociopaths who capitalize elements and close their tags out of order. Fucking ...

My intuition would be to just let it go and enjoy the hilarity and let it correct itself. Sometimes the conversation the title creates is more interesting than the conversation about the article itself.

Id say add a satire tag in the post body, if it's in a non satire comm like this one.

I disagree. If yo have a cookie cutter CRUD site and want every site to be the same and have the same bad performance or bad quality, sure, trust an LLM/AI. It's you who will be left in the dust for true innovation.

This post is satire, ai isn't there yet or probably ever, click the link. But I also think most small business owners want the cheapest website that meets basic functionality as evidenced by the massive success of services like WordPress, squarespace etc.

Ahh I did miss that due to not reading the article. Thanks.

nah, adding a tag ruins the fun
