Very good read on the cognitive load CSS seems to put on "real" developers:

Visitors, Developers, or Machines - Garrett Dimon

Link to post Visitors, Developers, or Machines - Garrett Dimon

Here is food for thought: is the rise and popularity of JavaScript frameworks and, as a result, websites that are less resilient and more user hostile, a product of throwing user experience under the bus for the sake of developer happiness?


WordPress’s role in a changing web - Heather Burns

Link to post WordPress’s role in a changing web - Heather Burns

20 minutes very worth your reading time, if you are interested in the open web, and the role large open source projects like WordPress should play in regard of policy making, and the reasons why this is not happening. All the while other interested parties try to shape the regulations that are underway and a…



Hydration - Jeremy Keith

Link to post Hydration - Jeremy Keith

Jeremy once again about the advantages (and misconceptions) of the Progressive Enhancement approach, 2020 edition, in light of SSR and 'Hydration'. I find (t)his layered approach and the rule of least power so, so much convincing and 'natural' for what the web and browsers are good at. But then again I am old enough to…

Artists' Materials and Architects' Supplies - F.W. Devoe & Co., 1914

Stifte, Lineale, Schablonen, Messscheiben, Papier, Pinsel - in einem Schreibwaren- oder Künstlerbedarfsladen darf man mich nicht alleine lassen, sonst werden alle Taschen vollgestopft :-) Hier ist Zeichenbedarfporno aus dem Jahr 1914: Ein Katalog der damals schon ältesten Zeichenbedarf-Ladens der Welt (nach…


Cybertruck in CSS

This morning, my timeline on Twitter was full of pictures and remarks about Tesla's new "Cybertruck" with the futuristic and plain look, brutal even. One of the first things that came to my under-coffeed mind then was "hm, this looks so angular, this was maybe designed with CSS?" As one does, a tweet followed: "css…

Bastian reflects on a topic that's very close to (my) home -- the supposedly unavoidable Tooliganismn that is involved with working on the "modern" web.


React - Charlie Owen

Please read this post on why there's not only a problem with this popular JS framework, but how it actually hurts 'the web' (that was, as Charlie put it). It echoes my stance and resentiment against all client-side only JS 'app'ification, and that is even without the meta aspects about society and representation that Charly…
