I'm not sure he intended it as an insult. Despite not using LLMs for HTML or JavaScript often (if at all), I was under the impression that it was one of their strong areas.
In my experience, at least in circles I've been around, I have found other developers who are a little too high on their own supply so to speak use "hurr durr web dev" as the "easy not real dev" insult.
So I both wanted to shame that in case they were and also categorically show otherwise.
I mean when I was pure SO debugging I would say a solid 70% of the responses did not work. Different stack different bug ect.
LLMs even if they can't guess the right answer can search the documentation really well.
