Isn’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?

@simevidas I find most devs dislike CSS, and also don’t approach it how they approach other tools. I wonder if that’s because we tend not to prioritise formally teaching it like we do, say, JavaScript.

@jalada @simevidas HTML and CSS isn’t taught *at all* in most CS courses. I’ve worked at places where they exclusively hired CS grads who had mostly never learned front-end, using Hot New Frameworks™ to replace their old deprecated frameworks over and over again. (In reality: they now have 4 deprecated frameworks in use)

The cascade isn’t as hard as they think it is!

@ajkandy @jalada @simevidas I signed up for CS 3 only because the description said that it had HTML and CSS. If they don't offer that anymore (outdated description or something else), i am going to question my existence.

@Solinus @jalada @simevidas By CS3 you mean computer science 300-level courses?

@ajkandy @jalada @simevidas Don't think so, it's high school classes

@Solinus @jalada @simevidas ah! Yeah they probably would cover it. It’s university level computer science that doesn’t teach it - that’s why people go to web design community college classes, bootcamps or self-learn.
