What I Mean By Using HTML And CSS Properly — Part 1 of 3

<p>I&rsquo;ve talked a good deal in my articles and on various forums about how the&nbsp;<strong>creators</strong>&nbsp;of many things people add to their development stacks &mdash;<em>&nbsp;such as HTML/CSS &ldquo;frameworks&rdquo; like Bootcrap and &ldquo;it&rsquo;s not a framework&rdquo; Failwind&nbsp;</em>&mdash; never learned enough about HTML or CSS to even be telling others how to use web technologies.</p> <p><strong>I&rsquo;m not being flippant or unnecessarily cruel in that.</strong>&nbsp;This is the truth. Truth hurts. And truth is these systems do more damage than good despite all the wild unfounded claims of merit attributed to them. &lt;broken record&gt;<em>They are&nbsp;</em><strong><em>not&nbsp;</em></strong><em>&ldquo;easier&rdquo;, they are&nbsp;</em><strong><em>not&nbsp;</em></strong><em>&ldquo;better for collaboration&rdquo;, they do&nbsp;</em><strong><em>not&nbsp;</em></strong><em>&ldquo;speed up development&rdquo;, or any of the other bald faced lies found in the propaganda, fallacies, group-think, echo-chambers, and mob mentality behind their adoption.</em>&lt;/broken&gt;</p> <p>The same goes for a lot of people complaining about how HTML works when they&rsquo;re in the same broken mindset as framework developers; which is to say having crammed one&rsquo;s cranium up 1997&rsquo;s rectum in worship of the all-mighty HTML 3.2&nbsp;<strong>mental</strong>ity.&nbsp;<em>Emphasis on the &ldquo;mental&rdquo;</em></p> <p>And as I keep saying if you understood even the simplest of reasoning behind why HTML exists; why CSS stands apart from it; and the entire reason for why web stacks are the way they are? They&rsquo;d recoil in horror at how stupid, ignorant, and painfully convoluted the way most people write HTML is.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/codex/what-i-mean-by-using-html-and-css-properly-part-1-of-3-44804722e33a">Click Here</a></p>
