If I had a local group to meet with, then I would be more inclined to do that. And I would likely find more use/support from a local group. It's good you have this option. One odd thing I got out of group meetings was seeing partl

Yep, your points 1-3 were exactly what I thought was going to be a waste of time as well. But what I have found about all good processes, they simply aren't magic. No business got made simply by watching videos or talking on the intern

I would watch every single video. I had already gone live, I have a budget, income, solid product, but the courses showed me things I would never run into on my own. Also, I don't recall much about "generating good ideas", it

Yes please do, I had to go through the login/logout/login process thinking I had missed something. Maybe something as simple as that banner being a different color (the dark gray is a common "notice" color, but not for s

I would absolutely apply. I am solo founder, and I met a bunch of people that were still trying to get their MVP out.

I got a lot of value out of SuS, I highly recommend participating if you are in any stage of your business. The sum of the whole experience is worth more than the individual parts. It seemed many of the businesses didn't participate mu

Yep, I agree, seems like we are on the same page. I made my own framework based on my specific uses, so I even get to control when the fallbacks are removed, and deal with any of the fallout if there's issues. I kind of think that at o

Since the topic is "new framework", I would not advise investing in a system that is not ideal long term just because of a very minor support percent difference today. (looks like 6% of the world based on caniuse.com, but your aud

I enjoy seeing other people's solution, but since I really learned the power of grid, most of this is overdone with flex. As an example, here's how you can make a vstack with grid. vstack { display:grid; } It's r

That's incredible, I am sure all the webdevs that read your comment feel your pain.

Yep, an image was the only way to "guarantee" the cell displayed at a specific width/height. These are the kinds of things that taught me most hacks aren't worth doing.

It took me probably a day of testing to convince myself because I really didn't find a simple example. I have simple atomic classes that create a set of columns I use frequently that solve problems that just a few years ago were always

by Vanderson 7y ago
That takes the cake. The worst I did was 9 cells, with images in each corner. How did you maintain your sanity when one cell went bonkers on it's dimensions for no good reason?

That is a rare circumstance, and I agree with your assessment, no point in making life hard for yourself. Since IE is no longer supported (or even considered a browser by MS, but a compatibility layer) what kind of site do you work on that

Of course back in the day we all used tables, but there was a shift where "tables=bad" for layout, but we didn't have a good replacement yet... so it was floats.

by Vanderson 7y ago
ha, ah the memories. On my first web job (late 90s) my boss interviewed a guy who was bragging about one pixel borders around an element that were all background colored table cells. (each had to have an image in them to force the cell size

But here’s the thing: Grid’s regular handling of long terms is typically not actually ideal anyway. Grid is just the layout (columns/rows), not entirely how text is handled. 3 & 4 are no different with grid, only word-break/

by Vanderson 7y ago
If you _have_ to support IE, I would just add conditional comments, and make all grid stuff one column and not worry about fancy stuff. IE users just can't expect the internet to pander to an outdated and unsupported browser. If it was

I've found grid to be helpful even with just rows of data, no columns, using grid-gap to make space between rows, like in a standardized form. But you are right, something like a gallery of images (unknown number of items that need to

np, glad I could help. I avoided grid for a long time until I read way too many good comments about it not to dig in a bit until I was convinced as well.

by Vanderson 7y ago
That's clever. I think it's easy to make complicated solutions, and this is pretty clean. I like the solution for irregular content/tags getting displayed correctly.

by Vanderson 7y ago
I would suggest finding a single use for grid that flexbox doesn't really do well, and use only a couple properties. Then you will really understand the benefit of grid without having to invest a lot of time. An example I dealt with re

Can you give a brief example of the situation you are describing? Or a link to an article on this? I am really interested in improving my coding using functional programming, composition, etc... but so far, I haven't been able to under

Can you clarify this idea some? I have used inheritance in a way to make accessing code more seamless and easier for development. But without inheritance, I end up with a lot of boilerplate code, imports, etc... Doesn't duplication go

I would also add that it's important to learn that what you are teaching now may be considered an anti-pattern down the road. Or that the framework de jour is going to become tech debt in 5 years. So it's really important to disti

I also just had my first intern. But I also taught at the college level and have had a few employees. A few suggestions to add to the already good lists here. 1. Tell them _why_ you do something. This helps with cognitive load while learnin

I am replying to my own post here as a general thank you to all the replies. This was really helpful. This was a rare circumstance that searching blogs and tech resources really didn't help me understand. Thanks!

I have recently been digging into composition as related to object oriented programming. Can someone summarize why this is better than say inheritance? I can possibly understand the value of composition where you need a large team to be abl

This is really neat. One suggestion, make the two circles in the color wheel that you can drag slightly different (at least). Maybe just line thickness, shape, filled/open something to note that dragging one will produce the opposite r
