The question of whether CSS is a programming language serves only one purpose: to demote those who write it.

There is no confusion that needs to be clarified, and no other purpose in asking, beyond the most trivial kind of pedantry.

The debate itself is an act of gatekeeping, whether intentional or not. Its only significant effect is to elevate some work over other work, despite their essentially identical nature.

The only meaningful function of the question is segregation. #css

I am officially Totally Over Tailwind and I can't see myself using it again. Plain CSS really is so much nicer when you know a bit about what you're doing. My markup is so much easier to handle and read now. Everything's just... simpler and less noisy, and I can make big appearance changes without having to change a bunch of non-CSS code?

I am very pleased to be able to share that I've been awarded a grant by NLnet Foundation's #NGI Zero program (@NGIZero)

Many yearn for the "good old days" of the web. We could have those good old days back — or something even better — and if anything, it would be easier now than it ever was.

disconcerting that "reading a lot of code and thinking really hard" is still unparalleled as a way to find bugs

Riot Medicine is a full length text book covering the practice of evidence-informed street medicine. It's most intended for those without medical training

Riot Medicine Bridge Guide is intended for healthcare workers who want to join social movements and use their medical skills to help others.

There are other shorter guides like the Riot Medicine Field Guide, Basic First Aid for Emergencies, and the micro zine Street Medics' Checklist.

I just absolutely love that "If You Can’t Measure It, You Can’t Manage It", a dogmatic truism attributed to men with Big Management Brains, is merely a fiction embraced by the corporate world.

I think as web developers we have been collectively brainwashed into thinking that you must use React and Tailwind to create websites, when all you really need are vanilla web standards and a text editor. We should be making it easier to make websites than it is right now. You should not need a PhD in web design to create something that you can share and express yourself. We need more tools that make web development easy, not more tools that turn it into some 10 step build process #webdev
