- kabuks 15y agoGreat list! If you get a chance, I would love to connect and hear more about you guys have thought about. Maybe we can work together.
- swalkergibson 15y agoI personally would refrain from getting too far into Haml/SASS without first creating a significant understanding of the underlying HTML and CSS. While these tools are certainly effective, it seems like it would be foolhardy to not start from the ground up as there are more projects built with straight HTML/CSS. Especially given that a junior developer is likely to be maintaining existing projects, not necessarily rolling your own.
