I've been building websites for over 15 years. Soon after I learned, largely from haunting w3schools, I felt strongly that a) the basics were pretty easy to learn and b) there weren't any sites that were very good at teaching it.

Zero value. I don't get it. Priority Pickups: The only ostensible value. I've never waited more than 5 minutes for a car. $360 a year to save a couple minute? Ride Savings: Pay to save money. Early Access: Zero value. Flexible Can

GPT agrees with me. The site positions itself as advocating for simplicity and minimalism in web development—stressing plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript—but then pivots into building the entire project using React. That’s a contradiction. If

No, they don't. We know this already. And failing student on that basis is just a very quick path to losing lawsuits which will shortly eliminate this question as a serious concern.

"Usually, I would just powerthrough reading the minimized code..." Huh? Is this a thing? There are endless online code formatting sites. It takes two seconds. Why would anyone ever do this? I don't get it.

I think it would be more useful to list the few CSS properties that all email clients do recognize. I don't mean to be flippant. I'm serious. CanIEmail? The answer is generally no.

Only below the 1000px breakpoint for tablets. Suggested videos probably keep people on the site/app longer than comments. They should have shown 5 videos with a "show more" drawer for the rest. But we know they care more abou

Radical suggestion. Don't make your lander taller than wide. I'm the first to assume that the science nerds have thought of everything and that my uneducated self has nothing to say about it. But then I saw the lander. It looks ve

To me, CSS frameworks break the whole point of CSS, generally add a lot of bloat, and aren't useful except in some instances where rapid prototyping is needed. Tailwind exists largely because programmers don't like CSS. We no long

Yeah. I'm glad I figured this one out before getting married. They have no real value. They do look nice and are great for grinding metal. But they aren't rare. The value has always been completely managed. And the notion that you

I will always argue against this. Keep your layout in one file and your styling in another. I've done more CSS than most in heavy web production and I never once had a reason to think something like this would be faster or more efficie

Yeah, agreed. Somehow CSS and a very general concern for UX have become my most valuable skills as a developer. I think the title of the article isn't correct. It should be "The Negative Impact of Responsive Design by People Who A

Yeah, it's ahistorical. Some of these comments are soooo confident and condescending while ignoring basic history. Many high school kids know that the tax rate has gone down dramatically for the past 40 years. Turning that around even

Knowing someone with a spinal injury I can tell you that these constant innovations that won't reach the market for 20 years are kind of continuously devastating.
