jail is not that bad.

Localization != personalization.

I'll definitely respond to this more later. ;)

It’s not reusable. It’s not consistent. It’s not scoped. It may be hard to see now how it will bite you now, but I promise you, it will. It would take hours to explain why, but I a…

Mixins FTW!!

But I only want the element to be the color it IS, not a range of colors it could be. Whats to stop a dev using $concrete when they should be using $cloud? or $linkGray instead of …

There’s no magic. Remember that at the end of the day, no matter what approach you take to your CSS, we are all dealing in trade offs. I like to say, that with components, you enco…

Avoiding the cascade is kind of the point, although I'm sure that sounds antithetical. IMO, the cascade should be treated with an "opt-in" approach, where you have a fine degree of…

Sure thing. Due to an NDA, I can’t get into granular detail about the site, but I’m more than happy to expand on the problem. When I started here, I sort of “inherited” a large sty…

No, the key phrase is, "We don't think this is the best way to write CSS."

in what way is that consistent tho?

you have that with tailwind too, lol. probably even worse the bigger your app is.

The benefits absolutely do not outweigh the cons. For starters, your CSS can never compile down to a smaller size than component CSS - ever. Because of the nature of compositional …

Everytime I see Tailwind/Tachyons/Functional CSS at the top of HN I die a little inside. I've said it before and I'll say it again: if you actually like this kind of CSS, you proba…

This is all really terrible advice and my only conclusion is that you have never actually had to maintain websites that use this approach toward CSS as they grow past being a littl…

Yes and (moslty) no. Cascading that reaches “outside” of its component to affect other things is bad. So it is all about your approach to the cascade. Most people who have been wor…

You’re 100% correct on the cascade being bad and causing incidental breakage. The people downvoting have clearly not run into these problems yet or it would be obvious to them that…

I don’t get why people are still defending this method of CSS. When - or, perhaps I should say 'if' - your webapp has to scale you will realize the enormous amount of problems you’…

Unsplash. Just use Unsplash. :D

literally how the press works..

How is it not in their interests?

The comparison to a Gladiator sport is a good one. I see no reason why ESPN/NFL/et al., can't provide comprehensive health insurance to every current & former player for life - as …

Even if you are fat there’s nothing wrong with butter and cheese. Especially if you are fat, IMO.

Don't know why people think fat is bad in the first place. But then again I have been keto for ~2 years. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I believe wind and solar are the best solutions for our future. But many concerns mentioned in this thread are becoming irrelevant in the face of emerging nuclear storage technolog…
