Too good NOT to share.
My brothers and sisters in Christ I want you to know that I care about your souls enough to share these truths with you:
- You don’t need JavaScript to make a web page.
- You don’t need JavaScript to write styles.
- You don’t need JavaScript to make an animation.
- You don’t need JavaScript just to show content.
When web development started to move away from jQuery towards Angular, React, Ember, Vue and all that shit I made the conscious decision to stay away from front end development. Well, I already made the decision after struggling aligning elements in all web browsers with CSS.
I’m glad I made that decision.
Simplicity is unsophisticated and lacking in many parts. The simplest solution to a problem is always the best solution. Choose simplicity. I’m begging you. Your future is begging you.
This goes with all of programming. It’s rare someone makes a clever solution that doesn’t immediately turn into “technical debt”.
Nested CSS obscures complexity
An interesting point. Something I will take with me for observation and consideration.
Maybe sometimes it’s worth despite it and other times not.
The author has an article on the problems with nesting.
which is me. I’m the author.
