Have you profiled your page? I have used it on medium project and I haven't had any painting speed issue.

You are not helping your case by calling out people based on where they work instead of what they say. Refulgentis is raising factual points.

Ids are rarely used in webapp because most people are using a component based approach. By nature they can be instantiated multiple times so you can only use classes. The basic approach is to only use selectors with a single class name and

Not OP but here is my version: - css is not scoped by default. Predicting the effect of adding a new rule is very hard if you are not using scoping solutions or if you are not constently writing new class names with a strict convention - be

Your comment is completely valid. I am just reacting to the usual flow of hate toward any frontend library that do not follow the initial ways of the early days of html/js/css.

So you are just learning JS but felt legitimate enough to post an unfair rant?

Sorry to burst your bubble but Tailwind is anything but "yet-to-be-proven-framework". It is a very solid and powerful abstraction that has existed for 3 years. Speaking of piles of abstractions, please enlighten me. What is not a

I am saddened by all the negativity around those new css approach. I like most HN threads but anything frontend is laughed at by people with little frontend experience. They repeat some truth they learned 20 years ago. Honestly HN is not a

Functional libraries such as tailwindcss are popular because they are a good way to achieve this goal.

It is not whether you need a database or not. It is "how configurable/dynamic things should be". More configurability usually means more power to your users and more pain to maintain the software. So I usually go to the least

I'd say that tailwinds only works if the designer is on board or if you are not working on pixel perfect specs.

I don't understand why it doesn't apply to knowledge workers. Negotiating power is a variable quantity, not a binary property ("you have it or not"). The writers guild is a good example. Whether they use this better posi

Good programmers know how to "grow" software. Starting with the right level of simplicity, and adding complexity when needed.

This was indeed the promise of spacemacs. I tried it a few times and roughly 30% of the advertised features were broken out of the box.

because Lisp allows you to define language-level abstractions that affects the control flow. Those "abstractions" are always leaky and everyone has to understand their implementation to be able to work with them or read code that

You comment is interesting. In the first sentence Lisp is a good solution against complexity. In the second one it is not. A good litmus test for complexity is the following: as a developer analysing software in order to understand & mo

I have come mostly to the same conclusion. UI specific state (eg a flag to store whether the left panel is folded) should be as local as possible. When you have some functional data (the lisk of tasks in a todo app) then putting that in the

The part about static types is weird. "Tests are not always perfect but can be useful. However static types are not perfect and so they are useless."

what you are describing is testing invariant properties. It is telling that your two examples are math functions because those often have lots of useful invariants. A lot of time you only have weaker properties to test so you have to look f

Maybe it is not the type of growth that the author is interested in? Climbing one step does not magically enables you to fix everything wrong about an organization.
