    A highly compatible design with no ads, unnecessary images, videos, animations, scripts that goes straight to point delivering you exactly the information you need and nothing else? Something that’s easily accessible even with old feature phones allowing older people to get information easily?
    Simply something that loads instantly and just works?

    Who would want that?

          yeah, just css is enough.
          you don’t need js unless you need to fetch data dynamically.
          you can do all of your animations, dropdowns and transitions in css.
          like this menu i made. no js in sight.

          https://streamable.com/4ba0gg

          also fully accessible and you can tab right into it without clicking enter or whatever
          (and respects prefers-reduced-motion)

        Entirely true.

        I’m currently working on a little project that’s interesting to me (a low-spoiler walkthrough system for adventure games) and after a lot of back and forth, I decided to cut all of JS out of the picture. Just get rid of all of it, and do good old 90s server-side rendered HTML with modern CSS placed on top of it.

        And that’s, honestly, a joy. The first draft of a page looks like the first screenshot, then you add some semantic classes to the html and throw some simple CSS at it and it looks acceptably neat. And I could get rid of so much janky toolchain I just fail to understand.

      Specialists, ah I wish I could experience that. Maybe then I would be able to see my long lost love c++ again. Instead, I must give my love freely. Javascript, Java, Kubernetes, Go, many names flit through when profit is the goal. Someday maybe, hopefully, ChatGPT will end my tired soul.

          As far as I understand, they were offering free hosting and bad actors took advantage. They didn’t want to start charging so they closed down. Like giving out candies on Halloween and one asshole takes the whole bowl. No candies for you kid, sorry.

    As a backend developer who occasionally has to work on the frontend, that top image is pretty accurate although it requires bootstrap smeared all over to pretty things up a bit. After that it will have the “Good Enough” seal of approval.

          Pfft just go there and feel the air yourself. Knowing the weather in advance is bloat anyway. If medieval sailors could launch ships without weather info and survive 30% of the time, you can too.

            Imagine having to rely on physical senses to determine the weather, how pathetic. Honestly if you can’t infer weather patterns from learned data then better get back to that CSS.

      You can see the programmer used Copilot, who in their right mind would want to type <?php echo htmlspecialchars($city); ?> four times

    I can make HTML look alright if I have to and it’s simple enough requirements.

    The real hell is making it look good in an email. Oh, you used something from the last 20 years of HTML/CSS progress? Well fuck you.

      But that’s mostly because Outlook is still holding us back. Come on, Microsoft, please let it die in peace already.

        Never going to happen, same for Excel.

        Whatever future iteration of ChatGPT that eventually enslaves the human race will be using Outlook and Excel to keep track of the genocide.

        They actually made it worse in the latest version! They went from using the CSS2 standard, which was already like 20 years old, to using MS Word as the rendering engine. I would like to find whoever was in charge of that idea and slap them with a large trout. My guess is that they got a bonus by laying off whatever team was in charge of the CSS2 integration and saved a bunch of money by utilizing another program attached to some other team’s budget. MS employees are always trying to shift their costs onto other teams.

    After some time toying with CSS I have decided to fuck it and whenever I need to make a website I will just either:

    • Make a plain website with no virtually no styling.
    • Use bootstrap or some other similar shit.

      I used to like bootstrap. Still do. But it has some faults… Depending on your needs you’re loading a lot of CSS you aren’t using.

      Bootstrap 5.3 is 59kb before gzip. 6700 lines of code. That’s a lot to just apply some simple styles.

      There are a ton of lighter weight alternatives nowadays.

    From my experience, devs be like:

    Backend, yay! Frontend, nay! … and I the end, not even the backend works properly.

        This is why I got all of our devs to start building with the target of a Docker container in mind.

        And for the ones who still won’t or can’t wrap their brains around Docker, I run their shit through a Github Actions workflow that spits out their ugly baby as a Docker container. In the end, I don’t give a shit what it is, your Rube-Goldberg piece of shit is getting stuffed into a Docker container.

        “It works on my machine!” Yeah, well, your machine is now everyone’s machine thanks to the magic of containers. Now fix your broken shit so PagerDuty doesn’t call me at 3am again. Fuck.
