    At least some of these are just for lack of caring. I vibe coded this landing page recently <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tui2web.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;tui2web.com&#x2F; and fought off a lot of the defaults the LLM came up with after a few hours of iteration. Feel free to roast it, I&#x27;m not really attached, but I thought it did a reasonably good job.

      This appears to be pretty close to the &quot;brutalist&quot; aesthetic mentioned in the article. Things like drop shadows on boxes are the opposite of the &quot;fingernail&quot; boxes and you very rarely saw them pre-AI. However I think your site looks fine and well crafted, nice work. (the article also said that this kind of design language is less grating)

        Drop shadows on boxes were a common TUI element in the Norton Commander days.
