I find it very hard to understand why they didn't build the most heavy duty launchpad of all time when it was the largest / most powerful launch of all time. Debate about "value" aside, does this not indicate some bad en

No, that's not true; a 2023 book giving advice like "don't use borders" is definitely not in any way a seminal source of "good design". Besides, I'm not saying I think it's a fundamentally bad design,

I agree. The main uses of Tailwind are people making template-based pages, or putting up informational offerings in front of service-oriented businesses which give people APIs to build their own apps on.

Nice list. Did you actually look at those sites? Your first example implies "The New York Times" uses Tailwind. Besides that being hilarious, you click the link and immediately see there is a big subheading "Events" I ha

Indeed, personally I would never open a conversation with that, but I believe this is someone gussying up their personal hobby project where they learned how to use a CSS framework into a "real project" while they denigrate someon

What I really think you're saying is that Tailwind is a huge time saver when it comes to design, and compared to your past experiences translating designs to CSS it felt like a net win. A lot of people disagree with Tailwind's des

That's the nature of how these things go. People that like Tailwind praise it. People that think it's fundamentally bad design avoid it and don't say too much, or are drowned out by the people praising it. People who just wri

I think it would be a pretty disingenuous argument that Musk's leadership is closer to "stable" than what was happening before, which is probably why you're the only one even alluding to it.

Yes, let's not take things out of context. In a world where Tucker Carlson has gained more political power and is legislating some policy which should be very politically popular, he still believes the right way to do things is in an &

I disagree. The whole thing is a PR spin - cmon, the guy who intentionally undermines society in order to retain his obscene pay at Fox News is selling a book about stable societies - and even in a PR spin hypothetical scenario where he&#x2

Thanks, I did not know it was literally called the "Anti-Rightist" campaign and I see I misunderstood the comment and implications you originally made. Sorry for that.

That sounds like an unfalsifiable claim. Do you have any evidence supporting it, or are you "just asking questions"? Edit: I deserve to have been downvoted, I have misinterpreted the context of "right" in the parent post

Four out of 20 gates! That is ludicrously sloppy. I enjoy that their recourse for such a failure in design so far has been to "write a strongly worded letter". Is there some kind of protection for the builder that is preventing th

Sure, I agree. But this is equally true for VC companies. However, in a bootstrapped case, I can just work as a consultant if I need some extra revenue. In a VC case, I don't have extra hours available in my life. I'm also not ric

SVGs and JS are a very good pairing, I have lots of fun drawing graphs & charts. What I enjoy most is with dynamic resizing, you can scale the SVG coordinate space to match the screen pixel space, so `stroke-width: 1px` is meaningful &#
