how do you write like 1500 words saying the same thing over and over and over? Read this article for 1500 simple little examples!
In before "say something positive": If whoever wrote this gets to write a long rambling complaint about some random website nobody has ever heard of having a bad error message, I can equally complain about my pet peeve: "people writing long blog posts whining about things that set them off but aren't the real reason they are so angry to begin with".
- Dr_tldr 11y agoYeah, my immediate response was "Don't tell me who my customers are!" This is all a bit like storming into a Chinese restaurant then berating them for not having menus written in Slovenian. His point about faulty sniffers throwing useless warnings and blocking content that could load is rock-solid, but it's obscured but everything else he's saying.
- kraftman 11y agoYeah, probably could have stuck with just the tweet
- mmcclure 11y ago> You don’t have to support old browsers and terrible setups. But you are not allowed to block them out. It is a simple matter of giving a usable interface to end users. Agreed. This entire blog post is simply an incredibly verbose (and off-putting) promotion of progressive enhancement. Not a bad thing to advocate necessarily, just also feels like a bit of a dead horse.
- mathgeek 11y ago> In before "say something positive" Well, the author certainly tried to pull every "in before 'say something negative'" he could think of. The last 75% of this is simply a bunch of well known excuses to counter arguments that no one has really used since the 90's.
