  1. Writing CSS selectors with Amazon Q Developer

    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!
