It's so weird to me to look back at where I came from CSS and what you're doing with it now I remember in early Webb technique magazine days we were talking about class names like .12otTimesNeeRomanRed ha! 🤣

I mean to talk about presentational on much less using points we really come that far I wonder. Also of course table base layouts cutting Graphics to fit is just crazy such a different world in only a few decades it's kind of shocking in a way that we survived hahaha

Yessss! I came to the industry just as the move away from table layouts was happening, but I worked at the BBC which had a longer browser support requirement than most places. Amazing how many features & how much interoperability we just take for granted these days.

It's actually been very disconcerting for me to have come from that background. I know I've seen you speak or maybe that's just YouTube talks it's been such a whirlwind it's hard to look back and it's just grown so much

And of course not just interoperability everything is fragmented to me we don't seem to be in Step anymore with the basic design principles at all. I think there's a lot of cool stuff going on but I think there's also a lot of overwhelmed and misinformation and I worry about that

Yeah, that bothers me too. Sometimes the most popular web dev tweets are "tips", from someone who's selling a course, the info is just plain wrong, yet it spreads so fast. It's frustrating to do properly researched that doesn't get as much reach. Meh I'm just jealous.

I used to come to the BBC quite often and there was so much dedication in sin and then of course Gareth isn't just a lot of really great people and it seems to me there was a Unity back then we don't have now

I fear that at some point we will no longer grasp the complexity. and the browsers will eventually no longer be able to cope all the stuff
