It's 2023, here is why your web design sucks. in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

My experience is the same, the companies I've worked at had not only female designers, so I cannot really relate that part from the article. However, I think the rest is spot on, there is really a gap between design and coding, which causes websites to have fundamental issues.

Avoid z-indexes whenever possible in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I have even mentioned stacking contexts in the article, and the thing is that they are not only introduce with z-index, which makes them even more complex :-/ So yeah, it certainly helps if you understand them, but I think it does not make the problem less complex.

Classic rock, Mario Kart, and why we can't agree on Tailwind (joshcollinsworth.com)
 

It's popular to say we can’t agree on Tailwind, but I posit we actually already do. I think what we actually disagree on isn’t the details of this (or any) specific software; it's in what we value, and how we each define assets and liabilities.

Tailwind, and the death of web craftsmanship in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

I mean it is not really inline styles, with inline styles only it is e.g. not possible to implement a hover style AFAIK. I think the inventor has written a blog post explaining the steps, is that what you are referring to? I also read that, and it kinda makes sense, but basically giving up on development tools to work properly is kind of a high trade IMO.

I would also be interested in seeing a performance benchmark. As the article says, gzip will probably make the difference in terms of network traffic negligible, but it would be interesting to see the impact it has on parsing HTML.

Tailwind, and the death of web craftsmanship (pdx.su)
 

There's a worrying trend in modern web development, where developers are throwing away decades of carefully wrought systems for a bit of perceived convenience. Tools such as Tailwind CSS seem to be spreading like wildfire, with very few people ever willing to acknowledge the regression they bring to our field. And I'm getting tired of it
