    !important This is my work nightmare, but for side projects I use elm and elm-ui and I just don’t need css. So nice, so stable, so robust, so eeeeeasy to maintain. It’s genuinely a delight. Boss nopes out when he sees all the whitespace, though, as if semicolons were the only thing keeping things sane.

      I haven’t heard of this. I make my personal websites from scratch in html and css using notepad++. I should probably modernize…

        I use it for web apps rather than plain pages, and you can certainly use it with your existing css, and you can roll new css in a clean and non-clashy way with elm-css, but, like I say, elm-ui lets you RELIABLY build your ui.

    Source control is a saviour for this shit. Can’t count the times I’ve made a small change and completely fucked up the CSS in 20 other files I didn’t realise existed…

    I’m not good with CSS 😄

      And that’s why scoped styles are a godsend!

      Global styles were simply always a terrible idea.

    Thanks for reminding me about the outdated as fuck HTML/CSS template I need to continue updating tomorrow at work. Might just drink another glass of gin tonight.

        Not even a programmer, I’m just a lowly support engineer that barely gets over minimum wage. UK wages suck but this is why I don’t try very hard anymore. I have job security by not being incompetent. Only risk of losing it is if they get rid of almost everyone.

    When you design your whole project/house around the edgecase of it being easily climbable (as stairs) if it ever falls over at 45 degrees.
