      UIs, no.

      Illustrative diagrams suitable for gynaecology and/or proctology textbooks, quite possibly.

    I can write code like that and I'm not even a software engineer.

    You can speak directly to your canvas

    Speaking to your canvas is strictly reserved for starving artists in lonely garrets.

    I just saw the video review of this

    Dear god, we're so boned.

    And reading some of the YouTube comments reminds me why I quit doing website design long ago. Both designers and clients are fucking morons.
