Already on my list darling I just have so much to do though you know it's like I really am excited again to try to get this out to the public. Also thinking of a Molly minute style short cast fun facts or definitions of terms people think they understand and don't. Gmta LOL!

I also love looking at influencers who worked on various languages and how they came to be. Profiles of influentials why they think they think certain things that sort of thing might be fun to if you have any thoughts I'd love to know ain't nothing like the real thing my friend

As for web history there's a lot of good sites and resources but we seem to be Reinventing wheels or pretending we never had them in the first place with Mark up and that can be something I could do and enjoy greatly because I've always wanted to teach language from the ground up

So I think some backgrounds and understanding of HTML xhtml HTML5 and what the term semantics really means as opposed to the way we use it might help people understand why HTML is in fact something necessary and needed to understand.

I'm coming to a very different idea about the web right now. I do not think that the way we are developing applications has anything to do with the web. They are in fact applications and they don't necessarily require a browser for executing or interpreting the language combos.

So I had a lot of thoughts about backgrounds 2 language history and the composition of the languages we use, the separation perspective brought together as a singular entity and how it hitched ml5 didn't kill / but it is definitely killing the idea of a website in favor of apps.

So I got to thinking if I were to do something similar for the 100 days of code challenge and would immediately came to mind was history of markup and why it is important to have yes code. There are also binary arguments about what is code, what is language, what is programming.

That's all very clear now to me as to why no code makes no sense. It really is a terrible misnomer and it makes sense also that it would have come from marketing because they're experts at misnomers. I've been really impressed with the content course correction you've been doing.

I do have to admit I'm still struggling with the terminology no code. Could you describe it a little more to me as to what that may have emerged from and why?

Preaching it my sister you know I'm flashing back to the last time we saw each other in Massachusetts and how we both were really unhappy with the use inline style the CSS Cascade, inheritance and specificity sucks etc etc. I'm still in shock from that and that was 2016?

Have you tried any alternative support methodologies or talking to people yourself or creating your own group for support and information gathering there's so much in what you're saying that makes a lot of sense and I think a lot of people could benefit from community

People are delicious, food is beautiful, loneliness an occasional necessity, uncertainty is a feeling the STATA center sinking a little more, 4am the height of cortisol which manages love and reduces pain by increasing how much we like hard questions with no idea as to why.

So true. I have a semi-humorous take on this. I call it the theory of the shit box. :) All of us are born with a box filled with nasty. Illness, loss, heartbreak, etc. We humans seem to put more into that box, when we could get another box and fill it with all the good stuff!

It's a sad state of affairs if striving for human bettement is inspired only by crisis. We all have conditions and challenges in life. I was frozen for years with illness, grief, loss. And here we both are, moving forward with optimism despite life's inevitable challenges :)

Thank you! It's also an adaptive issue for me as I am fully disabled with 9 years survival as an oncological hematology patient, widow, and grateful recepient of advanced treatment through crowdfunding from our wonderful community. I am writing and speaking as I can, but limited.

Rohit, let me clarify. I am not actively developing for the Web. I'm 59, widowed and a 9 year oncology patient alive only because of crowdfunding from this wonderful Web community. I do what I can to give back. My career has been amazing. I'm searchable of course, if interested.

The number of external frameworks, mixins, patches and lack of site building but software and app development using the Web browser to download locally? That is not a free and open meaningful content rich networking platform supporting technical, social, and human progress.

CSS WG level 4 and 5 module changes due to misuse of !important with layer which while not illogical as a solution to external frameworks causing language fragmentation and rushing solutions instead of collaborative, evolving WG specs is reactionary, not innovative. Bothers me.

Aww. I believe in the best of me, but there's a dark underbelly I'm not convinced I agree with very much too. I suppose that's common enough :)
If I do any development at all these days, I author HTML, use minimal CSS presentation and minimal interaction. I focus on publishing accessible, searchable, usable, meaningful, linkable data to empower people to access data, disseminate information, gain knowledge, seek wisdom.

I now see why you embrace minimalistic and simple systems 🪄 best of luck with your production ma'am
