I’m notoriously bad at CSS! 😅
I rarely work with it, so advanced selectors always leave me scratching my head. But thanks to AI, I don’t need to memorize them anymore!
Today’s example: I needed to style specific elements, but only if they weren’t the first one. Instead of googling CSS selectors for the hundredth time, I let Amazon Q’s new Inline Chat handle it for me. Here’s my workflow:
1️⃣ Select the CSS snippet
2️⃣ Press Ctrl+i (Cmd+I on Mac) for Q’s Inline Chat
3️⃣ Explain what I need in plain English
4️⃣ Review Q’s generated diff
5️⃣ Quick sanity check and accept!
Using AI without interrupting my coding flow really is a game changer!
Most AI models provide temperature and top-k to control response randomness, here’s what they do:
🌡️ Temperature (creativity level) - Like a chef in the kitchen: Low means sticking to recipes, high means getting creative with flavors.
▼ Top-k (word choice limits) - Like restricting your chef’s pantry. Rarely useful in practice.
Pro tip from AI engineers: Use temperature alone. Let your chef focus on creativity without restrictive ingredient lists!
