Except for CSS via Sass I have not used a build process in all these years. And recently I rewrote our CSS to use modern syntax and nesting and variables and etc. - no more Sass! It worked great but then customers started to complain and se

This is wonderful – however I feel a bit sad that is a museum rather than an active place people live. So many examples of wonderful architecture in California, but they are museums, and around them are built sub par structures.

I tell my developers that each mock you use costs you $100. Maybe it is worth it, but probably not. No I don't really charge em – but it gets the idea across that mocks have costs that you don't always see up front.

Anytime we make a change to a screen we opt to upgrade the CSS template. So, only if we are working on that part of the application. Typically it takes just a few minutes to switch out the CSS. Now, there are a few very complex screens tha

Our application has been on an old version of Bootstrap. And for sometime we have been evaluating different frameworks and libraries as a replacement. But they all feel huge and complicated. My CSS knowledge was still stuck in 2010, with a
