I still think you're misunderstanding. It sounds like you think that the component has a class and everything flows from that. Like .component-name a {} The point is that HTML elements don't need to have semantic class names at al

I agree that some of it is preference, but the main point he is making is that the number of utility classes doesn't matter if you're using a framework and styling a component. Yeah, it's ugly markup but so what? With that sa

Also, I did look at the docs and there is an entire page dedicated to this subject that you can read and it does mention @apply. https://tailwindcss.com/docs/reusing-styles#extracting-class...

Fair enough. I've realized I am currently using Tailwind in a way that is not the default and maybe a lot of people don't know about it. I think I will write a blog post about it. Also, I think I am wrong. It's possible to us

This is so frustrating to read over and over. Tailwind uses PostCSS. You can literally wrap a bunch of utilities inside a semantic class name. Or, if you're using containers/writing components you can literally do something like t

Agreed. I think he's completely misidentified why CSS-in-JS became a thing. I've done a lot of thinking about this - like "How would we adopt what we have done in frameworks into web standards"? And the closest I have co

I did not realize that Tailwind had spacing utilities. I know CSS and I've just been doing stuff like gap-3 for flexbox'd containers etc... It never even occurred to me to not do that, because like the article says, I know CSS. Al

So, I am a very experienced front-end developer with quite a bit of CSS expertise and I have been using Tailwind on a project, and I actually quite like it. It lets me design things in browser in a way that nothing else I've ever used

On the other side of the coin, I have never had an alternate HN account (beyond maybe 1-2 throwaways with only one post or comment) so seeing the list of users that are most similar to me was interesting. I didn't see some stark simila

I have been blogging for 5 years. Like, 2-3 posts a year. I personally prefer to only write a post when I really feel like I have something to say. Very few people read my blog posts until last week when two of them frontpage'd here. T

Yes! You are the only person in this whole comment thread who gets it. That makes me so sad. It makes me feel like I didn't do a good job communicating in this post.

This comment thread is so disappointing. The goal of the post wasn't to convince people to use TikTok. It was to try to explain it as a product and why it works so well. So many comments on here saying "It's just short form Y

Hello, I am the author of this blog post. I found it while scrolling Hacker News. I think this thread is really interesting. I actually spend a good amount of my leisure time reading. But I don't think that one of those activities is m

Yes, it was. It used a very obscure language feature of JavaScript. I won't get more detailed than that.

Also usually it’s in Java in an internal framework based off Springboot and I’m a front-end developer with no experience writing backend services. Totally normal. Not crazy at all. Take ownership.

This is the pat answer Amazon gives to defend this absurd practice, but it breaks down really easily. >If your code breaks something, you should fix that code. Who else should? What if it wasn't my code, but code written by someone

everybody on my team. Are you seriously implying I was put on some kind of special "extra testing required" probation system where the unit test coverage requirement was upped from 95% to 100%? Are you trolling?

My team was not native AWS at all. So yeah, huge variance based on what your team uses. Also the guy you’re replying to has no idea what he’s talking about. If I had tried to do that my manager would have said “that’s not the work we have p

No, my requirement was actually 100%. I have no reason to lie about this. It’s set at a package level.

I really think this is true. Like compare the CR process to Github's PR process. To me, it's horrendous. But to others who are embedded, maybe they love it.

I was referring to Apollo specifically, since we're naming things.

A lot of internal teams don't use the AWS software for various reasons. So like, CodePipeline might be great, but there's an internal analogue (I'm not sure the detail I can go into here) that is awful that a lot of teams use
