and reading (aka “ocr”) is the fastest way for the brain to process language.

Welcome

Those are some serious job requirements for $150k

I want this for my yard. Like a yard roomba.

Yes. The best explanation of Tailwind is when Adam describes it as “an API for your design system.”

The biggest problem with CSS when trying to maintain a design system is the same problems you run into any time you use inheritance in programming.

Inheritance has its place, but making your CSS composable the way Tailwind does makes it practical to actually adhere to a design system.

If you’re more worried about the purity of your HTML, then Tailwind is not for you.

This is what I like most about all 37 Signals products.

The fact that they are so polarizing with just design choices is their edge.

You either love it or hate. It’s a lot like Rails in this regard.

Isn’t a “micro front-end” just like a Turbo Frame in Rails now? Except, easier to manage within a monolith?

This is any subreddit.

Do you not see how that attitude is totally selfish, and in practice comes across that way no matter where you’re from.

Treat everyone, no matter who they are, like someone you admire and you can’t go wrong anywhere in the world.

Ask culture at work and guess culture in your personal life.

Hawkwind is 100% Psychedelic Rock, not Prog.

Boy do you not understand punk:

“Punk mostly wasn't very good at all, because it was fashion and performance art and social criticism and musically quite conservative and dull in addition to being amateurish”

That is just an objectively wrong worldview—that Punk was just fashion and a mostly dull, amateur genre.

And I agree with everything you say about Prog.

Go listen to Pink Flag by Wire. It basically is Prog, but stripped all the way down to pure elegance and irony, imbued with the attitude of the earliest rock and roll. Still fresh today.

So many great bands and classic albums. Were the beatles and elvis proto-punk, or were the clash and ramones early rock and roll?

The kinks you really got me, the stooges search and destroy. You’re right Led Zeppelin is silly next to that.

But dull and amateurish, no way. That’s the mindset of someone with a narrow palette.

Good thing Punk is the ultimate palette cleanser. The smartest genre of music we’ve created yet.

does what you’re making matter to people or not? It’s like that no matter what you’re doing. Y’all can sit around here and discuss, “what is a software architect” all you want.

Good news, Render is WAY better.

ok yeah this is the answer

So maybe “code” is already at the right level of abstraction and not everyone needs to be a doctor or lawyer or pro football player.

So maybe “no code” tools should be thought of as photoshop for software.

I think “code” is already at the right layer of abstraction. “Code” already solves this problem and has the curve the author’s looking for. “No-code” is a simple case of the wrong abstraction.

I find my system/integration tests to be the most valuable because those test the behavior of my code, what the end user cares about.

It often helps to start with the design first (even if just a napkin sketch). Once I’ve done that I usually have enough information to write system tests (which also forces me to consider edge cases). Then I can then fill in with unit tests as needed as I write the code to get the system tests for that feature passing.
