To the people with #CSSDay FOMO - you're not missing out.
It's terrible, the people suck, the conversations are boring, the talks are rubbish.
CSS is lame, the web platform needs fixing with layers upon layers of JS, I miss Flash, bring back Dreamweaver, websites should be images with clickable regions.
You're fine. Enjoy whatever it is you're doing instead, we're having an awful time.
Sarah Dyan was introduced as being "very brave" for coming to #CSSDay and talking about utility-first CSS!
I agree but I'm happy to listen :)
My biggest grievance with tailwind in particular is how it's cemented breakpoints, while going fluid feels much better.
It may just be that there's a lag between what CSS can do now, and what surfaces through tailwind and other utility first frameworks.
I dunno 🤷
I guess I think utility styles are a good tool that can be used *alongside* normal CSS.
#CSSDay veterans - does it make sense to get a travel card thing for 3 days in Amsterdam or just tap on, tap off the public transport? Or should I hire a bike?
From years of being bored, unsatisfied, or struggling in various jobs and industries, I finally feel like I have come home.
I'm so happy to join an industry with such brilliant, interesting, and gloriously nerdy people - I mean this in the best possible way!
I have attended both Beyond Tellerrand Düsseldorf and CSS Day 2024 and, wow. Huge thank yous to the organisers, speakers, and to the many warm and funny fellow attendees I had the joy to socialise with.
This is my church.
Re @stubbornella and special language within companies (her example was 🐑 for "ship/sheep it"):
People in my company in Germany react with a 🇬🇧 on any announcement of someone being off sick.
The code for this in slack is :flag-gb:
German for "get well soon" is "Gute Besserung". GB. Great Britain.
Front-end.social peeps want to do a team photo?! #cssday
🚄 Starting my #Klassenfahrt / #schoolreisje to #CSSDay!
I'm hoping the Deutsche Bahn deities smile on me today and that I make my connection at Osnabrück.
Amsterdam Ho - See yous later!
@stubbornella ooooh gosh I reckon we should name the hypothetical 2D masonry variant "drystone"
Note to self, or everyone: Do not use CSS to create meaningful content.
