This documents every HTML, CSS, and JavaScript feature so that developers of all skill levels can understand and implement things. To say this is widely used is an understatement. I'd be willing to bet that it's used by developers at Microsoft, Facebook, Google, Amazon, Apple, and all Fortune 500 companies. I personall [08:24] schestowitz y use MDN more than basically any other resource for learning how HTML, CSS, and JavaScript features work. It is critical load-bearing infrastructure on the Internet.

One of the greatest assets that Mozilla has with the MDN team is their technical writers that make fantastic documentation, examples, and breakdowns of every single feature in browsers. This takes an unimaginable amount of work and has lead to creating one of the best resources possible. So obviously, we need [08:24] schestowitz to go and take all of that and replace it with the new technical writer that never sleeps, eats, has kids, goes on vacation, or gets burnout: ChatGPT. This opens up the possibility for taking this source of joy and creativity into a source of a new philosophical horror: gaslighting as a service.
