I try to always debug my stuff with mechanisms that are available to run on a production system so that way I'm:

a. training to be better at debugging poo poo in prod during an incident
b. finding spots where my system is not debuggable/observable enough early on

I don't use a standard debugger unless that debugger would be safe to use in prod, but usually breakpoints are not prod-safe and a lot of debuggers run on that so I tend to avoid them a bunch unless I really can't.

on the react website its like "don't use this unless you need it, and even then only use it where it's needed." on the redux website it says "you sure as gently caress don't need this.... but just in case here you go".
and now web developers have made it so\ redux is the de facto way to make, like, the page transition when you click a link lol

uh, the web browser itself makes a transition when a user clicks a link

why would there need to be JavaScript involved in that at all

My favorite feature of infinite scrolling is when you visit another page and then try and hit the back or forward button, it doesn't even have the courtesy of remembering the loving spot on the page you were at.

most terrible site I’ve seen so far had one page and a huge JavaScript that waited on the user clicking. depending on what text your cursor was over when you click decided how the page changed.

there were no buttons so back sent you back usually to the blank page your browser opens with

Yeah that's fair. I guess what I'm saying is that if you're working on server software, operators are some of your users as well and so you should get used to their workflow the same way understanding the end users' is important as well.

The best CSS-related idea I've ever heard is BEM, whose core concept is "avoid, at all costs, the cascade".

i don't think anything is going to be relying on the incorrect behavior, if that's what you mean. fixing it might lead to a few inconsistencies in existing data but once it's fixed i can detect those and they won't be hard to resolve if any of them even matter

just ... ugh. it's a graph thing. gonna have to break out the pencil and paper and reason about it like some kind of caveman

the whole notion that css and html are "different concerns" is just insane to me
this whole idea of BEM and everything around it is manual busywork that finally (seems to be) addressed by web components

interested to see how "the frontend community" will mess up those, though

Back when this was a big big point, a bunch of designers/integrators got together to work on the CSS Zen Garden: http://www.mezzoblue.com/zengarden/alldesigns/ -- it's a website where people would submit designs that were all done purely in CSS, over the same underlying HTML. They have over 200 designs that all look relatively different.

It didn't necessarily age the best in terms of style, but back in the mid-2000s, it was a pretty cool demo of the ideals of separating presentation (CSS) from the semantics of the data itself (HTML). And all of that poo poo worked on most browsers in a day where IE6 and IE7 were very common still.

The ideal of separating them suffered a whole lot more when JS became a much bigger deal, and then you had one thing trying to eat at the structure and presentation and interaction of the work, so now you use React and embed everything in JS.

the css zen garden always seemed more like a 'party trick' to me then something actually useful

i mean, i think they also wanted to argue that css and html were 'separate concerns', but then in order for it to work you'd have to author your html in a VERY SPECIFIC WAY to make it work with the css: the structure of your html is dictated by the limitations of css, so they are not separate at all

css and html being separate makes sense if your divs and spans represent hypertext documents where the semantics are straightforward and the styling is purely an aesthetic matter.

the separation makes much less sense when your html elements are being abused to simulate the widgets of a proper desktop gui toolkit.

i.e. css = good for data, bad for code

if your HTML doesn’t represent hypertext documents where the semantics are straightforward and the styling is purely an aesthetic matter, then what you’re doing should not involve HTML, you should write a native app
