One small thing that still shows up on too many websites, it's the famous "Lorem Ipsum" Lorem Ipsum is still a common practice for mockups while things are still being defined, and too often, it makes its way into production, and ends up live on the site. Whose fault is it? The designer, the copywriter, the developer, the PM? Who knows... We see it happen more times than we can count. You scroll down, hit a section with placeholder "Lorem Ipsum" text, and suddenly the whole site feels unfinished. It creates doubt, and it hurts trust in the product. And honestly, I’d much rather see AI-generated copy in those cases, at least it reads professionally and gives users context during that first launch. Perfect copy can come later. Curious to see what others think, why do people still use Lorem Ipsum?

First time I read it was when I began with Web Development. Not really in books, but more in online courses. To be honest, since I was already convinced by what I learned before, I rarely use it. I'd rather use some other text, even shorter text than this.
