TIL (Today I learned) that writing websites with simple HTML and CSS is now called "post-framework". Well. I did "post-framework" even before frameworks existed and I never stopped writing that little bit of HTML and CSS needed for static pages myself. I guess I'm so old that it is considered being young again :) (frantically adding "20+ years of experience and practice with post-framework web design" to my CV ;)

@jwildeboer This is the way to go.. again!
We have made development so complicated with all kinds of frameworks, libraries, managing tools and other cruft, it's ridiculous. Tools don't guarantee the outcome.
I have been doing webdev for 15+ years now. Simple(r) always wins. I am back to CSS only. Being able to move things between pc's and continue coding. No extra tools, processors etc. It's a great workflow.. 'post-framework'? Sure, name it that.
Actually, excess tooling guarantees a shit outcome - fragile, hard to maintain, and uses more energy.
Funny how many people can't do even a simple site without WorstPress.
@barbra @jwildeboer And if WordPress, can't build without Plugins.
I guess people have learned to ride the bike, fallen off, and are re-evaluating how much is too much :)
There can be sense in that. If anyone at some point decides to add a cache-layer for performance... this would count as the same, just from the start.
I think the global point is understanding HTML, being able to code stuff yourself and don't use more then you need.
Don't choose the ferrari to do some small groceries.
Although.. V8? I might do the above. Maybe not the best example :D
