    I don't disagree with the comment, though its content is of low quality.

    First impressions: Will it be easy to switch between accounts? I have my own / and then I have a company account where I follow the students and leave comments with that. So far, l…

    When viewing the docs in Dash (paid app) - the styles are the old way. Fingers crossed it stays that way.

    Is there anything positive about this? How will setting all of the type close and closer to the same size, removing any any contrast for visual hierarchy, adding muddy zeros, remov…

    But aren't you bored to death? What do you do all day?

    It's very clear and thoughtful. I can't believe that it grew so fast. For me, I personally think that it creates more problems, but maybe it's because my components aren't all so s…

    I'm going to create a "Free" service where you can just "freely" choose to stop creating these totally useless and backward pieces of production art. Then, you might see the unicor…

    I prefer smaller stores. Probably not going to miss them. If I can't get something local, for some reason Sweetwater has been my go-to for the last 20 years. What I don't understan…

    "Web browsers helpfully apply default CSS styles..." Totally disagree with the idea that this is 'helpful.' Pretty site though. I think there's some good stuff here - but it's not …

    I'd be curious to know what you consider the fundamentals to be.

    CSS is completely dependent on HTML. If you write poor HTML - then you've already shot yourself in the foot. If you can't learn them together - then it's really hard. People don't …

    No. No way. If you're CSS is a problem - then you are doing something really really wrong.

    Once you add all of those classes, it's nearly impossible to add a developer who isn't used to it. It's also really hard for me to read. Tailwind / bootstrap etc - is a total deal …

    I've been using harvest for years - and It's been great. The time-tracking widget has been updated - and the invoicing is smooth.

    I think the flaw in the system is land/personal property. If you have enough money to call 'dibs' on a shared resource like that, then we create a feudal system. There is no legal …

    I'm not actually fighting for it... or talking about bytes. I care more about keystrokes. My fingers seem to prefer lowercase. OTHERWISE I can just SOMETIMES write THINGS in weiRD …

    The browser knows what a tag is, so no–the head nesting doesn't really matter. That's Google's point.

    While we're at it, how about we lose the unnecessary uppercase for the doctype: vs. Leaving out optional tags makes sense. These days, at least with web-apps, It's not like we are …

    Whenever I hear this argument, I think of those guys out there on the freeway laying asphalt in the middle of the night. Or those people who are dead - inside the dam's cement. The…

    I would exclude the 3rd framework. You do not need or want to use a CSS framework if you actually understand and have experience writing CSS.

    I suggest you choose to fall in love with Ember.js. She is the prettiest girl in your small town and she's really friendly. Start calling yourself a programmer instead of a coder -…
