Fantastic, thank you for making me laugh so much. Almost makes up for the years spent being tortured by CSS just so I could appreciate your tale.

#14Number 7, so many projects include bootstrap and don't even use the damn thing.

#15I was reading the first few and thinking "No... No... Hrmmm... this seems really misinformed" before it dawned on me around point 5 that the whole thing is satire. It eases you into the realisation nice and slowly. I'm guessing given the penchant for people to comment based purely on titles, some won't even get that far.
Excellent, that's exactly the effect I was going for. My posts have about a 75% abandonment rate, though, so most of the people who hit the post probably won't stick around long enough to get the joke. Oh well.
Great article. I laughed a lot. Thanks for that!

This!
I browse with uMatrix with some extra strict defaults (no 3rd-party CSS/images) and about 90% of sites that link bootstrap from a CDN work fine without.

The satire doesn't come across very strong and makes the author look uninformed. CSS has its ups and downs but the problems faced in the article have been known and solved for years in production environments across the web. The article is basically misleading with no answer for those unaware.
Sorry if this feels harsh but reading through was fairly unpleasant.

Thanks for the feedback. I basically feel like if someone can get through number 6 without smelling the satire, perhaps they're not paying attention.
