CSS: The Pain Is Real · Jens Oliver Meiert

With presentational HTML, it’s impossible to do a CSS-only redesign. With strict separation of concerns, it’s incredibly rare to observe a CSS-only redesign. On a not-frequently-made observation around maintainability, which is to make changes more predictable.

@mjglopez Definitely a combo of #1 and #2: Been working #refactoring truly enormous amount of code for the last years, code which has its oldest roots from 2003. It has been a great learning experience while having the chance to restructure large sections of the #systemarchitecture Painpoints? Sure. But what cool results, improved #performance and first of all: #maintainability
Perhaps I should take some bigger examples of my private programming history. Those are often similar or better than my professional projects using these languages. And then AI should rate #style, #readability and #maintainability, perhaps room for optimization without loosing these criteria. The languages here would be #pascal, #perl, #python, #java, #smalltalk, #erlang and #golang. Should be interesting. And beside the different languages I would expect a reflection of my personal experience.

@DenOfEarth @ytc1 @aka_pugs well #WindowsNT owned the workstation market because #Vendors like #SGI & #Sun failed to innovate...

  • Abeit sgi hals self-inflicted that by removing the reasons to buy their stuff when they switched to #Itanium #CPU|s and #nvidia #GPU|s and not developing #IRIX any further!

#SunMicrosystems at least didn't stall in terms of #Software, but once #Oracle acqured them and started shaking down Sun Technology users for "#IP infringement" and "License Violations" they basically made using anythibg but #Linux a bad choice on #Servers!

The Magic of the Most Minimal HTML Possible (and Why We Don’t Make Use of It) · Jens Oliver Meiert

On challenging XHTML–HTML and regular redos, by looking at HTML–HTML, full separation of concerns, and iterations.

@TheQuinbox nodds in agreement to me "#AI" coding ruins the #readability, #maintainability and #auditability of the #sourcecode, and I do require this.

We can make our code easier to understand, to lower the cognitive load of the reader, by limiting the number of chunks of information we have to keep track of.

We have many principles for writing better more maintainable software, but still end up with a tangled mess. Most of us have heard about the Single Responsibility Principle (SRP), Robert C Mar…
