It’s not reusable. It’s not consistent. It’s not scoped. It may be hard to see now how it will bite you now, but I promise you, it will. It would take hours to explain why, but I am speaking from years of experience here. There is a reason

But I only want the element to be the color it IS, not a range of colors it could be. Whats to stop a dev using $concrete when they should be using $cloud? or $linkGray instead of $headerLinkGray? these inconsistencies compound, especially

There’s no magic. Remember that at the end of the day, no matter what approach you take to your CSS, we are all dealing in trade offs. I like to say, that with components, you encounter “a new level of bugs.” With Functional CSS, you deal m

Avoiding the cascade is kind of the point, although I'm sure that sounds antithetical. IMO, the cascade should be treated with an "opt-in" approach, where you have a fine degree of control over what, precisely, is cascading a

Sure thing. Due to an NDA, I can’t get into granular detail about the site, but I’m more than happy to expand on the problem. When I started here, I sort of “inherited” a large stylesheet written in the classic BEM/Tachyon style of CSS

No, the key phrase is, "We don't think this is the best way to write CSS."

in what way is that consistent tho?

you have that with tailwind too, lol. probably even worse the bigger your app is.

by jacamat 8y ago
The benefits absolutely do not outweigh the cons. For starters, your CSS can never compile down to a smaller size than component CSS - ever. Because of the nature of compositional classes the plateau of problems expands out almost infinitel

Everytime I see Tailwind/Tachyons/Functional CSS at the top of HN I die a little inside. I've said it before and I'll say it again: if you actually like this kind of CSS, you probably don't work on large websites. A

This is all really terrible advice and my only conclusion is that you have never actually had to maintain websites that use this approach toward CSS as they grow past being a little one off blog into a large, customer facing, PWA. With this

Yes and (moslty) no. Cascading that reaches “outside” of its component to affect other things is bad. So it is all about your approach to the cascade. Most people who have been working on the front end still struggle to grasp the concept of

You’re 100% correct on the cascade being bad and causing incidental breakage. The people downvoting have clearly not run into these problems yet or it would be obvious to them that your reply is in no way wrong, lol

I don’t get why people are still defending this method of CSS. When - or, perhaps I should say 'if' - your webapp has to scale you will realize the enormous amount of problems you’ve created for yourself using this method of CSS.

The comparison to a Gladiator sport is a good one. I see no reason why ESPN/NFL/et al., can't provide comprehensive health insurance to every current & former player for life - as reducing the violence of the sport doesn&

Even if you are fat there’s nothing wrong with butter and cheese. Especially if you are fat, IMO.

Don't know why people think fat is bad in the first place. But then again I have been keto for ~2 years. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I believe wind and solar are the best solutions for our future. But many concerns mentioned in this thread are becoming irrelevant in the face of emerging nuclear storage technology. For example, the pebble bed reactor system eliminates the

How do you mean? When you say "misrepresentation." All breeders (in theory) are breeding to the "breed standard," which means if the standard says to breed unhealthy dogs then that's what they do. Because of the exi

I think it is unethical to breed brachycephalic dogs. It's merely inconvenient to own them. I don't blame dog owners for not knowing better. I blame dog breeders for knowing better and breeding the dogs anyway. Never say "eth
