    The story of this asteroid having a ~3% chance to hit Earth was huge, but I never heard about it being ruled out shortly afterward. It still has a 4% to hit the Moon.

    Atomic CSS is great. It does abuse class="" in the same way style="" was abused. It's counter-intuitive but the obvious code smells produced here are better than the non-obvious co…

    It's easy to mock people who've had a failed project. I wish you success with yours.

    Yep, it's weird and controversial. That's why I wrote a book explaining it and used a pseudonym. Now: ~60% of devs know some CSS, rest feel guilty YSAC's pitch: ~10% of devs know l…

    Basically the same idea, yep. CASS doesn't use abbreviations or numerals though.

    The argument I make in the book is that the last 5% of CSS/design should be written by people who can write CSS. Nobody else should even be writing CSS because it turns into a huge…

    Thanks! Lists were the bane of my existence with this project. I could never make all the browsers happy. This is a #wontfix (sorry), but I might fork it into a new, LLM-oriented C…

    I agree. CASS (the library this book was promoting) is actually really great paired with LLMs. If I revisit this project, it'll be along the lines of using it with LLMs.

    The perfection should be downstream of the project's coded standards, not downstream of the faithful implementation of the designer's work. Some designers are really good about mai…

    Edited the year into the title. CASS (the CSS library) and YSAC (this book) have been a huge marketing mess, to be honest. And yeah the substack was part of it-- I think the book c…

    Old is actually good now because of LLMs. You want something old.

    As someone who made a competing product along these lines (that got no attention or traction): Tailwind gives CSS a "place" in the codebase. It benefits orgs, not necessarily apps.…
