Yes. The best explanation of Tailwind is when Adam describes it as “an API for your design system.” The biggest problem with CSS when trying to maintain a design system is the same problems you run into any time you use inheritance in progr

This is what I like most about all 37 Signals products. The fact that they are so polarizing with just design choices is their edge. You either love it or hate. It’s a lot like Rails in this regard.

Isn’t a “micro front-end” just like a Turbo Frame in Rails now? Except, easier to manage within a monolith?

Do you not see how that attitude is totally selfish, and in practice comes across that way no matter where you’re from. Treat everyone, no matter who they are, like someone you admire and you can’t go wrong anywhere in the world.

Boy do you not understand punk: “Punk mostly wasn't very good at all, because it was fashion and performance art and social criticism and musically quite conservative and dull in addition to being amateurish” That is just an objectivel

does what you’re making matter to people or not? It’s like that no matter what you’re doing. Y’all can sit around here and discuss, “what is a software architect” all you want.

So maybe “code” is already at the right level of abstraction and not everyone needs to be a doctor or lawyer or pro football player.

So maybe “no code” tools should be thought of as photoshop for software.

I think “code” is already at the right layer of abstraction. “Code” already solves this problem and has the curve the author’s looking for. “No-code” is a simple case of the wrong abstraction.

I find my system/integration tests to be the most valuable because those test the behavior of my code, what the end user cares about. It often helps to start with the design first (even if just a napkin sketch). Once I’ve done that I u

It’s CSS with a design system. If you need to bump a value like margin or font size by one click you know you’re doing that within the context of a harmonious scale, not just writing free-form css, reinventing a design system (if you even h

Just use Tailwind utility classes in the html while you’re figuring out your design. Once the design solidifies you can write clean, semantic classes for your html and move the tailwind utility classes to your css file using @apply. It’s re

What often gets missed in the tailwind debate is how it forces you to use a design system. When you’re writing CSS by hand it can quickly get out of control when you need to bump something up or down, left or right by a notch. If you add pa

That’s a fair point. I guess my underlying assumption would be the government funding the research would retain rights to the research as well. Thanks for pointing that out.

This is not corrupt. It’s money well spent. The benefits to us all are most likely more valuable than anything we’ve spent on vaccine research. Government balance sheets also probably come out ahead on that investment given that the alterna

How is it any harder for a publisher to embed a display ad than do what John Gruber does and have a weekly sponsor in his RSS feed? It's easy to insert ads into any RSS feed. The publisher/advertising argument for the death of RSS

I’ve long thought this sort of thing would be a really good business model. You could launch a bunch of vertical sites and use the same shipping / fulfillment system. Huge irony would be if you did this with Fulfillment by Amazon, but
