I agree, but there's also benefits of looking at a quality piece of code to see how it's done.

In my opinion, most CSS bad bits are a byproduct of bad use, not a problem of the language(?) itself.

SASS, BAM, OOCSS, etc are all good practices. You can/will abuse those as well without proper understanding and planning.

I think this is an important topic for teens to understand and be able to openly talk about with their parents or other trusting grownups.

As grownups, I think we start to ignore hoping that kids will be able to figure out on their own without realizing what lasting effect it will have on their future relationship

As a UI developer, I think we tend to over-think too much with the aesthetics and workflow. I think a simple confirmation prompt/or a 5 second timer before initiation would have prevented the issue.

I agree. Also, most development happens with ambiguous requirements and wants that can never be translated/interpreted correctly by machine (yet?)

Also, most work is some form of addition to an existing code base that simply cannot be re-written every time.

I'm curious about how it handles design changes. Will it just rewrite from scratch? or adjust the code it has already written?

I would like to know the exact intention of Youtube Kids. Is it truly an opportunity for the company to provide a safe place for kids? If so, how exactly are they filtering the contents?

I know, i know, it's free, don't use it, be a parent, blah blah blah. But it is a service being touted as being "kid-safe", are we not allowed to question?

I think the responsibility should lie with whose ever is making money off it.

"For purchases and balance transfers, the variable APR is 15.99%, 21.74% or 24.74% depending upon our review of your application and your credit history at account opening. The variable APR for cash advances is 25.99%."

That's why.
