This code is easy to read and understand and refactoring it with a callback seems as premature optimization which does bring own flavor to it. In other words, this is a good exampl…

For simple things we still have Excel and Ms Access where people continue to build simple UIs for personal use. At my previous job, our CFO build own framework (Excel) to manage an…

True but not for new projects. Legacy software has quite a long life span.

I do not think that you would be able to do ActiveX, COM, OLE, MFC, C++ after 2 weeks of bootcamp. Yes, Delphi and Visual Basic simplified many of it but there were still many chal…

Please take a look at styled-system and proposed theme specification with variants. This is how you would expose your inner components for custom styling. https://styled-system.com…

Once webassembly becomes a thing, we can leave the web to the documents and migrate all the apps to the bytecode. That should bring peace to many HTML designers.

> nah. what about theming? you cannot do that with inline styles. Nobody is utilizing inline styles in that example. It _looks_ like inline styles but it not. It generates css clas…

question to the author, why did you switch from styled-components to emotion?

I am a big fan of styled-system and glad that more frameworks are utilizing it. This is something that helps a lot when building desktop-alike apps for the web.

you mean the days when most software had to be manually installed on your Windows? :-) Yeah, web is not only about documents these days (how it was originally intended) but it is a…

There are plenty of apps out there where you cannot apply HTML document semantics or that would be a waste of time (money) doing so. If using canvas or web-assembly would be easier…

It feels like google web-devs/disigners should start looking at the native apps to get an idea of what the user expectations for the web-app are going to be. If we look at microsof…

To me this attributes more towards general evolution of the browsers which naturally leads to more complex requirements for the modern web-app. I remember that in 2010, when we sta…
