Steve Jobs, then.

No, really. The real mayhem began with the iPhone and its web capabilities. Like dealing with dozens of possible different resolutions, hardware resources and Internet Explorer issues, network performances and end-user demands wasn't enough, another thing came into play and changed everything once again.

It just happened, mind you. I don't really blame Steve Jobs.

I’m currently rewriting our WP theme starter to get away from Sage and all its arbitrary nonsense…using pure PHP and HTML. The only dependency is going to be Tailwind, because the juniors would revolt if I took that away. 😂

Personally, I can take it or leave it. It does make some things easier, but I still write a lot of vanilla CSS…but I’ve been doing this since sliced images in a table was state of the art…

Here's a blast from the past (aka _archive/ancient/). Some cutting edge HTML 4.0 Transitional circa 1997. 4 layers deep of nested <FRAMESET> elements slicing up the UI. Still works great as long as I shrink the window down to 640x480ish.

Great, the only dependency you're leaving is the one you should prevent your juniors to use...

Eh, it’s not worth the fight at the moment. I’m trying to wean them off of it, but it gets the job done, and at the moment, that’s the most important thing.

And there’s a bit of “tabs vs spaces” in the argument for and against Tailwind…and it’s not an argument I feel the need to involve myself in.

@besworks that reminds me…this is the oldest site I’ve built that’s still online…this was done in like 1996-1997 as far as I can remember. And it’s pretty much the way I left it when I left the company that built it originally…

Nice! Classic.

I actually recreated the old image map behavior in a Custom Element.

That’s very cool! If it didn’t need JavaScript, it would be perfect for a project one of our juniors is working on…restricted environment, crazy stupid platform, limited to pretty much html and minimal inline css. We can’t even upload images to the platform, we have to send everything that isn’t simple code to the client to upload.

Angular 2+ too. It has Jakarta EE concepts like dependency injection.

Front-end is easy once you accept that that 2% of users probably never cared about websites looking the exact way you intend them to and would probably be happier if you served them a plain, server-rendered HTML document.

See, this

This is something you tend to learn once you start building enterprise based applications that are only all about displaying data instead of so much beautification and compliance to excessive standards and new tech and design trends.

Front-end is easy if you put all your business logic in the back-end and back-end is easy if you put all the business logic in the front end.

That's the one good argument for JS in the backend, together with duplicating presentation logic if you want to render in the front- and back-end.

But tbh at that point keeping both in sync becomes an even bigger problem than implementing the logic in the first place 🤭

Accessibility is dead simple: write proper HTML and test it with an automated tool just in case. What makes it hard is the things that are already over-complicated in themselves.

Neutral Evil is wrong though; that should be [class~="element1"] ;)

I always kick off meme monday by essentially pitching last week's cover and having them riff on it. I try to keep the prompt general enough that it could go in a different direction.

This time around we get one that's either the same joke but without a punchline, or the same joke but totally deadpan and hilarious. Not sure.
