Almost every single comment here is berating this guy for not using SASS, saying he's wrong. Just because he does it a different way doesn't mean it's wrong. Can we please disagree while respecting the guys decision to do what he wants?
There's more than one way to solve a problem, especially in the coding world. There are always "better" ways, but at the end of the day, if plain css works for him and he can solve the problem with it, more power to him. Let's not get the pitchforks out please.
- tacos 11y agoHis previous blog post berates vendors for using vendor prefixes in CSS. Presumably because this conflicts with his desire not to automate the process by using a tool. Take an unpopular stance and write a weak blog post in support of it -- while being self-contradictory -- and you can expect people to speak up when it hits HN. I don't see pitchforks. I see people who are smarter and more experienced rolling their eyes while taking some time to share experience late on a Friday night.
- TamDenholm 11y agoI was only asking that we respect this guys ability to solve the same problem as the "smarter and more experienced" without the "eye rolling" and condescension. We could instead educate, encourage and inspire people (not necessarily the author, the other HN readers) to new techniques and advocate their strong points while still respectfully disagreeing with an "unpopular stance".
