Point 4 WEB BROWSERS SUCK (OR: UI DESIGN IN HTML IS IMPOSSIBLE) made my day:
If you have good front-end web programmer/designers, you probably aren't paying them enough.
Imagine being a highly educated garbage man, except about one third of the smelly garbage
cans you encounter abruptly try to kill you, and can only be defeated by frantically (but precisely!)
shouting garbage-can-dependent arcane incantations like:
.quux {
width: 500px;
padding: 50px;
voice-family: "\"}\"";
voice-family: inherit;
width: 400px;
}
html>body .quux{
width: 400px;
}
Ia! Ia! Tantek Fhtagn!
