CSS is a tool used by web developers to style their websites.

Whether technically it's a programming language or not is tangential.

It’s uncommon but it’s used once in a while. I do it 2-3 times a year at least. And believe me, most people wouldn’t even know how to start to do it or would think it’s too hard and prefer to do it in a different way so they don’t need to ever traverse the graph.

Unfortunate, I have been using for the last 3 years and I couldn't recommend it enough.

There is absolutely no need to follow TDD to be good at testing.

MagSafe could be sometimes unreliable. USB C is fun too. Although I don’t like other aspects of the MBP. Like it’s keyboard.

True, and that's why I think a managed Kubernetes service like GKE is the way to go. It's almost like a PaaS but you still have a lot of the control.

It depends on the developer. Myself I like to get in touch with where my code is deployed. So I like to do that stuff myself but most of the time there Is somebody dedicated to that.

I think the point stands. You don’t need a high IQ, just an average one.

Except they shouldn't be supervisors, they should be facilitators.

You are missing the point of what a manager is.

That just shows your lack of information on how to manage knowledge workers.

Good managers know how to ship products by knowing how to manage knowledge workers and removing friction in the communication inside and outside the team.

Bad managers IMO. Since their work should be minimize interruptions and facilitate communication inside and across teams.

Working remotely you can minimize these interruptions by turning off notifications. Which in my experience is common. And bad etiquette to interrupt (buzzing channels) unless it’s urgent.

He is not condoning it just mentioning how under Jobs this would have been a big deal.

I agree, but you shouldn't map 3 times when you can map once over the data.

   things
    |> pluck('bar')
    |> map(compose(rofl, lol, xor))
    |> reduce(differenceWith('id')

Agreed most problems can be solved by CSS only. My argument would not be we're solving something in CSS, we're simply removing the friction by having the HTML and CSS separate.

I was one of the skeptics and felt CSS, SASS, or Less.js was good enough for me until one I day I was tired of setting up my loader in Webpack and I just dropped in styled-components.

And then my JSX was more beautiful because my tags now had its purpose in the name. And I didn't need to worry about class names anymore. And adding variations (modifiers in BEM) was a breeze. And I didn't need to go back a forth between the CSS and the component to style it. It was just so much better that now I'm a convert. I still can work with CSS only but the convenience that styled-components brings to my components is invaluable.

I hope this sheds some light as to why we prefer to write CSS in JS than writing good old CSS.
