So, instead of using semantic html and css like 'white-space: pre-line' and 'max-width: 40ch' author wrapped content of his blog post into 'code' tag and called it 'next-gen'. What is 'next-gen' about it? Either I am missing something or I'm not drunk enough. Worst thing it has 100 upvotes :/

This isn't simplicity...
I need a beer.
- rpdillon 6y agoThe CSS the author uses (style.css) has both 'white-space: pre-line;' (line 6) and 'max-width: 640px;' (line 18). https://inoads.com/style.css https://inoads.com/style.css
- rayrag 6y agoThen he could use div tag instead of code tag but then it wouldn't be 'next-gen' I assume.
- ilovefood 6y agoI wholeheartedly agree with you but there isn't any amount of beer or misuse of standard HTML tags that could fix this. It kind of anti-resonates a lot with the other post currently on the front page "Woo for its own sake". It also shows how the HN crowd is split in two, those who like this kind of stuff and those who don't. For my part and in my day job these are the kind of things that I actively fight against. As a fun exercise I still appreciate OP's effort for trying out something new, it's always welcomed and I think this forum is all about that. However, I don't agree with the clickbaity title techniques. I hope it doesn't normalize the practice here otherwise I'd throw in some Vodka as well :)
- johncena33 6y agoHN content and discussion quality has gone down drastically over the last few years. And future also looks bleak. These days I spend more time on lesswrong.com community because articles and discussions quality are way better than HN.
