I’m speaking at @wpchelt on 17/04/2019 about progressive enhancement. You should pop along.

It’s such a nice meet-up with super nice people.

CSS is like Schrödinger’s Language.

It’s simultaneously too easy and too difficult.

‪People with strong HTML & CSS skills are generally more valuable than JavaScript developers.‬

Understanding the cascade, #a11y and semantics makes for much more resilient front ends.

I find these folks to be much more pragmatic, too.‬ ‪You can teach any fool to write JavaScript!‬

Something I never thought I’d hear myself say: I think my ideal CSS setup is light BEM components with Tailwind utility classes for design tokens and general layout such as flex alignment.

I really don’t think I’ll ever accept full utility classes, though. At that point, you might as well style with JavaScript.

I honestly think the web community would be 100% better if there was a roughly 60-80% reduction in dudes.
