Hello my friend and friends.

I just got a message on Blue Sky asking me for

my opinion on what you can see on the screen right now.

I should probably zoom in on this to make it a bit bigger for you.

Normally I don't do this type of video.

Let me know what you think of it.

Actually let me find the original comment.

It's on the tab over here.

Right here.

Let's go in.

Tailwind could disappear due to Gen AI.

The thread seems to miss the point that AI training data, in this case, the Tailwind docs aren't free in cost of the consequences, despite Adam Witham's response.

Thoughts.

Okay.

So he linked directly to Adam's thoughts.

I don't know at all what's happening, but this sounds like something interesting.

So let's go in before I get to what Adam said, let's go to the original post to see what this is.

So this is a, it's been closed, as we can see here.

And so it's saying,

add LLMS.txt endpoint that serves a concatenated text-only version of all Tailwind CSS documentation pages optimized for large language model consumption.

Extract, blah, blah, blah.

We don't need to know the details, but yes, they want something that makes it easier for LLMs to use Tailwind.

I will say LLMs do like Tailwind.

and yeah I guess it's if you're coding you want to have something that makes it easier for them to do

you know to use it properly is the idea

and I'm assuming I'm actually curious I don't use Tailwind first of all

and I don't use a lot of AI stuff I'm curious

if there's issues with the AI because of the different versions of Tailwind

that are out there if it ends up actually getting things mixed up sometimes just

if you're doing it like in too general of a sense

and the idea here obviously would be you can point it at the actual docs of v4

and it would be able to do what you know to use it properly let's say uh

so obviously uh a few updated we're gonna come down ready

to be reviewed why is it not moving forward wondering um

so first okay this isn't the one

that was linked to originally uh why is this one not

moving have more important things to do like figure out how

to make enough money for the business to be sustainable right now

and making it easier for LLMs to read our docs just means less traffic to our docs,

which means less people learning about our paid product and the business being even less sustainable.

I just don't have the time to work on things that don't help us pay the bills right now.

Sorry.

We may add this one day, but closing this for now.

Overall, pretty positive responses, but obviously some people are upset by it, but I am glad to see most people are supporting um

adam trying to support his company um what are disappointing response i mean this is the person who opened it

so obviously uh they would be disappointed by it this is

complementary not replacement uh paul saying as someone who has sponsored

tailwind css in the past this is a disappointing response would you like to disclose the fact

that sponsoring gives one access to an official collection of llm rules for tailwind does

that have anything to do with the rejection of this PR.

You're running a business, that's cool, but you should disclose the fact that you are monetizing this, making Tailwind Docs LLM friendly.

I don't have an opinion there because I don't know.

Object to the spirit of closing this.

It's very OSS unfriendly.

It would not meaningfully reduce traffic to the docs by humans that actually would buy the product.

Just bad vibes.

I totally get what they're saying here in terms of

I do question if it would not meaningfully reduce the amount of traffic by humans.

Not completely sold on that.

I think it would reduce the amount of traffic by humans.

But anyway, here's a friendly tip for the TOWEN team that should already know.

I will repeat anyway.

If your goal is monetizing your software, then making it is easy to use for people's workflows is power.

100%.

Uh, I, I have a general idea of how, like, I know how Killwin monetizes.

I know what their business model is to a certain extent, uh, in terms of making it easy to use,

you definitely, I definitely agree with this in terms of their business model i don't think this necessarily applies just

because part of their business model is people like

if nobody is go even made aware of the fact

that there is a paid product and it's just the ai is able not even

that it's able to do it but if the ai is consuming the content

and then just saying this is what you do

and they never have to look for something themselves where they'd made aware

that there might be a paid product that makes it easier for them

then it doesn't really help so

but i mean i get what they're saying here the more people

that find your software fits into the workflow seamlessly

and solves the pain of their daily interactions the more people

you have as potential monetization candidates yes to a certain extent

um again ai loves tailwind there's a lot of tailwind stuff out there

so it tends to default to react in Tailwind, right?

That's just what it does.

So does that, I'm curious if that makes more people use Tailwind,

learn about Tailwind, and then become potential monetization candidates or no?

I don't know.

I don't know enough on that.

By scrapping the feature under the guise of monetization, you're sending the opposite message that you likely intend.

You're telling your customers that getting money from them is more important than providing a service to help them.

Tell me, would you enjoy doing business with a company who had a stance like that?

This feature is so that people can build more things with Tailwind in a faster and more efficient capacity.

From a business management perspective, if you remove the stigmatic AI and LLM from the conversation, and you simply are evaluating a feature,

XYZ, which allows your customers to work in a more automated and efficient capacity with your software with minimal engineering effort,

All it takes is a simple build time script.

Why would you not want to do that for your customers?

Okay.

A lot of lead up there.

Let's see what the highlighted point here was.

So Adam said, I totally see the value in the feature and I would like to find a way to add it.

But the reality is that 75% of the people on our engineering team lost their jobs.

100

I did not know that.

101

Holy cow.

102

Okay.

103

Wow.

104

uh okay so 75 of people lost their jobs here yesterday yesterday no

105

so when he replied the other one i think this is from three days ago from

106

when i'm reporting this uh and i think

107

his other one was oh that was uh

108

that was also three days ago okay

109

but still like i thought it was the actual day um

110

but i get also the tourist response they're like obviously things are not going fantastic right now um

111

so 75 people lost their jobs yesterday

112

because of the brutal impact ai has had on our business

113

and every second i spend trying to do fun free things

114

for the community like this is the second i'm not spending trying to turn the business around

115

and make sure the people who are still here are getting their paychecks every month i mean

116

that is crazy

117

that they've lost they had to cut 75 of the team

118

uh i feel really bad uh maybe i'm just out of the loop maybe this was more well-known

119

and i'm just not in the right circles to be aware of that

120

121

but holy cow i feel i mean i've said a lot

122

of times tailwind isn't for me it's not i enjoy just writing css the way i write it uh

123

but i do know it's a good resource for a lot

124

of people tons of people love it tons of people rely on it uh

125

and i think that there's a lot of people who are better at css now

126

because than there were before uh i got i was a bootstrap user and got very, I learned a lot about CSS by using Bootstrap.

127

And I know other people have had the same thing with Tailwind.

128

So, you know, I would prefer people, right, just like learn CSS and use it.

129

And then I see it as a tool for people that are good with CSS already.

130

If you understand CSS, it can be a useful tool in the right situations.

131

And my biggest break with it has always been and people relying on it that don't understand CSS.

132

It's not a solution, it's just a different way to author it.

133

So that's always been my big thing, but you don't wanna see a company that has contributed what they have to be suffering in that way.

134

So yeah, that's wild.

135

Traffic to our docs is down at 40 from early 2023

136

despite tailwind being more popular than ever i am really i was i was sort of mentioning

137

that ai loves tailwind so like this is kind of crazy in a way

138

because i think like ai is probably partially responsible for it continuing to become more popular

139

but at the same time it's having a negative effect on the company.

140

That's really interesting.

141

Yeah.

142

The docs are the only way people find out about our commercial products.

143

And without customers, we can't afford to maintain the framework.

144

I really want to figure out a way to offer LLM optimized docs that don't make the situation even worse.

145

Again, we literally had to lay off 75% of the team yesterday.

146

It makes me happy.

147

I'm basically a solo team, more or less.

148

So, you know, obviously, if I need to figure things out.

149

It impacts me, but I'm glad most, there's nobody relying 100% on their salary on me.

150

I don't know how I wouldn't be a good business owner.

151

It's my own company, but anyway, that's, yeah, firing people or laying people off, that would not be something I would ever want to do.

152

But I can't prioritize it right now, unfortunately, and I'm nervous to offer them without solving

153

that problem first 100 i don't see an agent's i don't

154

see the agent's this is paul paul was the one mentioning

155

that it was um as a sponsor you get access to an agent's file of some sort

156

so i don't see the agent's md stuff we offer as

157

part of the sponsorship program is anything similar to this at

158

all that's just a short markdown file with a bunch of my own personal opinions

159

and what i consider best practice to nudge llms into writing

160

their tailwind stuff in specific way it's not the docs at all

161

and i resent the accusation that i'm not disclosing my true intentions here

162

or something yeah that's fair enough um this is a feature

163

that uh this feature is

164

that some more people can build more things faster more efficient canwin is growing faster than ever

165

and had its big and is bigger than it ever has been and our revenue is down close to 80 percent.

166

This is just mind-blowing.

167

But again, I think a large, I think it, I think a big part of it being as big as it is, is AI just pushing people that way as well.

168

But then having that negative effect is crazy.

169

Right now, there's no just correlation between making Tailwind easier to use and making development of the framework more sustainable.

170

I need to fix that before making Tailwind easier to use.

171

I need to fix that before making Tailwind easier to use benefits anyone

172

because if I can't fix that this project is going to become unmaintained abandonware

173

when there's no one left employed to work on it.

174

I appreciate the sentiment and ingredient spirit.

175

It's just more complicated than that in reality right now.

176

Yeah that's yeah it's if he's seeing growth of the tool

177

but lower revenue trying to get more people to use it is clearly not the solution

178

because there are more people using it and revenue is dropping substantially.

179

So there has to be something else done.

180

This is kind...

181

I didn't realize Tailwind...

182

I mean, in a sense, this is a crisis for Tailwind that it's reached that point because if they can't monetize it and it does become abandonware,

183

like it could become an open source project.

184

Is the regular Tailwind open source?

185

I guess so.

186

But it's not going to be the same if they don't have some sort of way to monetize it.

187

Wow, I'm curious how the ramifications of this are potentially so big.

188

It's crazy the way that AI is impacting our industry in these really weird ways.

189

I see it myself just in terms of like the consumption of content, types of content.

190

There's also the weird thing that happened with everybody exploding during the whole COVID, the pandemic and all of that.

191

Obviously, content creation on my side of things, things exploded.

192

Everyone is at home watching YouTube.

193

So I know a lot of creators, everybody I know just boom and then it dropped.

194

But then that drop has been impacted as well by AI on top of

195

that but you're also seeing that in other places

196

and I think this is part of it like I think

197

I really think there was this like double whammy uh happening

198

in in broader senses in a lot of places um yeah

199

that's crazy uh I don't know they'd probably just keep going for a while uh

200

whether you could do something check out our paid product i mean

201

i'm not good yeah this is i think probably gets into

202

more to more arguing this let's just see here um you're blocking

203

which prevents bots from calling your site

204

so finding how to isn't a problem for loms you're not

205

blocking the robots text i mean yeah i mean this is the idea that by not letting tailwind get to your docs,

206

they're still able to act like they know how to use tailwind just through like having access to everything.

207

So are they just doing it badly or not as well?

208

And that's sort of, I think what is happening.

209

Um, you could lose valuable traffic from LLM chat reference

210

because SEO is on the brink of becoming outdated with major traffic sources now coming from LLM mentions on authority sites.

211

I mean, that's always like this weird thing.

212

Like how many people are actually clicking through though?

213

Like it gives you an answer and it's like, here's where I got the answer.

214

No, are people really clicking through on that stuff?

215

Uh, and this is also the hard thing is like, I don't think SEO is dead, but like question based SEO, right?

216

Like how do you do this?

217

And like, this impacts me as well in a different way because I'm educating people.

218

And so people aren't asking on YouTube or on Google as much.

219

They're asking on, they're asking me LLM and getting answers from that.

220

And so it impacts like such a wide range.

221

And I knew the impact it had on the educational sector.

222

I'm seeing it.

223

I didn't realize it would have this type of impact on a business like Tailwind at all.

224

I never would have even thought.

225

It would have.

226

I would have thought the inverse because there is more users that it's actually growing more.

227

So this is, uh, yeah.

228

Um, I don't remember what the initial question was, but I wish, I guess I just,

229

I don't know what else to say about it other than like LLMs in a lot of ways.

230

It for a long time now, the way I've thought about it is just like they're eating themselves, right?

231

Like it becomes that the snake eating its own tail at one point, because in terms of content creation, which is my side of things,

232

people are making less incentivized to make content, whether it's blog posts, videos, whatever it is, that are,

233

I mean, maybe you're making other types of content.

234

You're talking head things like this.

235

This isn't educational.

236

This is just, I don't know, it's talking head.

237

But like my educational stuff, the blog posts especially, like they've been ravaged.

238

So like if that's not coming out and there's all these new features coming out still, like who's writing about them, who's educating on them and then the LLM doesn't have

239

that content to train on anymore

240

and it seems to be this is impacting other businesses in other ways

241

that I'd never considered because it's not something

242

that has been directly impacted to me so like

243

but obviously I knew there was bigger impacts as well like just based on job markets

244

and everything else um

245

so yeah I don't know what the solution is I wish

246

I did I'd like to know people's opinions on this down in the comments below

247

so yeah i've just been like sitting here for like 10 seconds

248

that i edited out like blankly staring off trying to figure

249

out how to end this video in a not depressing way

250

and i don't know how to do

251

that uh other than just to say like i guess this is all the more reason to try

252

and make our own corners of the internet just a little bit more awesome uh

253

and and personal and not rely too heavily on the llms um

254

because why it's not about relying on them it's just like i don't know I don't know.

255

Thanks for watching.

256

Anyway, a big thank you to my enabler of awesome Johnny and all my other patrons and channel members

257

for their continued support.

258

And of course, until next time, is more important than ever continue making your corner of the internet a little bit more awesome.

259

I said that part already.

260

Again, I'm a little bit flustered, honestly, by this, and I don't know how I'll stand this.

261

So I guess that's it.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
