Šime VidasIsn’t it weird that CSS is a critical part of all websites, and yet “CSS expert” does not seem to be a particularly valued profession?
Thomas Michael Semmler@simevidas I have very pessimistic hypothesis' about for why that is. This describes it really well: https://thoughtbot.com/blog/tailwind-and-the-femininity-of-css
Keith Duke@nachtfunke @simevidas Nice article, thanks for sharing that.
ｔｏ⟁ｓｔ⟁ｌ@nachtfunke @simevidas I've had similar thoughts. I’m usually the resident “CSS expert” at places I work and many rely so heavily on frameworks & put no interest into learning the language (both the good & bad parts) with utter contempt and dismissal. I definitely feel some imposter syndrome about it as I don’t understand the ‘real’ languages as well as coworkers, but I can usually solve CSS problems from them in minutes.
Asbjørn Ulsberg@toastal @nachtfunke @simevidas Thanks for sharing, that was an excellent read that I agree with 100%. Brogrammer culture is toxic in every layer of our field and needs to be eradicated.
@nachtfunke There might actually be a link between CSS and femininity. My gender test result was “casually feminine”, and I find CSS much more interesting than JavaScript.
