For me it stops working after several clicks.

The other day my project owner remarked that in the future perhaps we won't be building catalogs of items like the one I am currently, but interrogate an LLM assistant for a summary of the data - no need for forms and such.

I don't know how accurate that prediction is, but it got me thinking: what if coding assistants are a dead end and what users will actually prefer is going to be just a text box where you type in your human-language query?

Forms are here to stay at least in any kind of government or legal document, as there's liability associated with any mistakes, but less consequential stuff?

This has been my experience with many rich web apps in the last several years. I have a habit of pressing Cmd+R especially before doing something important, and it feels like rebooting a computer in Windows 95 days.

This happened after I turned the demo site into Astro to demo all the frameworks at once. For some reason it messes with the hydration of the site, will keep debugging...

Over the course of the past several years I had to open devtools just to send the correct data several times already.

The worst offender was a banking web app that didn't have my country of birth(internationally recognised as independent since 1945) among the options in the form.

I recently did this for a job application (some third-party was used to capture applicant details): the drop down of local universities ("where did you complete this degree?") was missing my university.

So I added it in via devtools, hit submit, and now am on the third interview :-)
