Well, I’m on https://mastodon.social/@keithjgrant for those who are into that sort of thing

There’s a forgotten element to Separation of Concerns: keeping things in separate files allows developers w/ different specialties to edit & control contents of the stuff they understand. To date, the JavaScript community at large hasn’t really shown it can be responsible for semantic and accessible markup and sane CSS. 🤔

I get that this is satire. I’m fine with satire, in general. But the fact that this particular satire resonates with so many people indicates to me that one of the following is true:

I’m ready to stop yelling about this crap and start having productive discussions. This is a good starting place 👍

Developers somehow acquired the idea that CSS should be easy. Like, learn in a weekend easy.

CSS isn’t like that. Nobody in the world knows all of CSS. You need to commit to learning it just as you do conventional programming.

I’m still fascinated that JavaScript—which only runs on one thread—is the language that popularized functional, async programming, which is needed for multi-threaded programming.

Design, Accessibility, Performance, UX, Frameworks… you can’t master them all. Focus on one & find folks who are good at each.

I really wish flexbox & grid didn’t break margin collapsing 😕

Very rarely should you rewrite the code from the ground up. This probably also applies to law.

This is why software is never done. The old days of boxed packaging must have been a nightmare.

Always amazed to realize how little CSS actually needs prefixes anymore

4 5 6 What will be my next amazing trick?

My editor doesn’t do so great working in a file with a 50,000-character line of text 😣

This is the natural end result of moving your styles into JS

Google AMP is like nutrition supplements... Michael Pollan says, “Be the kind of person who takes supplements — then skip the supplements,” because supplements have been proven not to help you, but people who take them are healthier.

Maybe Google AMP is like that: Follow the rules of AMP pages, then skip the AMP cache.

This was a solid episode. I learned a few things about AMP. I’m... slightly less hostile to it now

Would it be totally annoying if my tweets linked back to my blog? It probably would, wouldn't it?

Are there any codemods to convert LESS to PostCSS/cssnext syntax? Doesn't need to be too fancy, just cut down on the busywork.
