Somehow we forgot how to center rectangles and must find our way back

    Centering things is a graphic design problem, not a computer science problem.

      That’s a pretty good summary of the article actually.

      The design is bad because the people who made the tools are doing a bad job.

      The hardest graphic design problem is indıcatıng sarcasm in a way only autıstıc people notice.

      Edit: this was sarcasm, and so is the artıcle’s tıtle.

    That’s exactly why people love web programming so much. There’s always a challenge.

    Ha, I swear, this must be sarcasm.

    Great article nonetheless!

      Haha yeah, I get what you mean. I think the author might mean “people who actively choose to do primarily web programming”, and isn’t being sarcastic. It’s baffling to me too, but I am glad that this subsection of odd challenge seekers exist, even if I can’t fathom people genuinely loving web programming.

    The dark mode on this site… Hardest I’ve laughed in a while. A+ trolling

    Edit: only works on desktop by the looks

      Look at the pictures of bad examples. If at least half of them mildly infuriate you, he’s right. I disagree with icons-in-a-text-file with him because in a pinch (when you care so little about the font that you just use sans-serif), Unicode icons look passable if you overlook the platform inconsistencies. Of course, there is no gear icon but what are you gonna do about it? The ⚙️ emoji is close enough.

      No. It’s a joke. Proper computer science is not about this level of computer programming. Computer science is more a field of mathematics that studies the computability of things. Like making the traveling salesman problem more efficient. Or how to most efficiently determine if a giant number is prime. Or how to scramble a message such that it is unduly difficult to unscramble without a key factor.
