Cassidy Williams demonstrates a browser-based 'database' that uses pure CSS selectors, CSS variables, and if-functions to simulate SQL querying — with no actual database or query engine. SQLite is loaded via WebAssembly and JavaScript, but all filtering, ordering, and limiting logic is implemented entirely in CSS. Built in roughly two hours with ~80% AI assistance via GitHub Copilot, the project is openly acknowledged as cursed and impractical, but showcases deep CSS knowledge. The hosts discuss the balance between AI-generated code and human expertise, concluding the project sits firmly in 'AI-augmented engineering' rather than pure vibe coding.
