• Web Developers

  Dec 10 12

  While talking to a certain fellow at an untold location, I heard a statement that semi-floored me. He mentioned that web programmers don’t really create systems. They do not program and design systems. They merely assemble things. My thought was that he was comparing web developers to a lego model building, direction following individual. This seems to really undercut what some, might I say phenomenal web developers do.

  While web developing can at time be mere assembly of modules, often it is developing processes and dealing with some complex logic. I am not attempting to say that we are genius C++ video game programmers, however, I think we deserve some credit. We are not lego-assembling, direction following idiots.

  What are your thoughts?

The film had the opposite effect on me. I had stayed away from McDonald’s so long, that it made me long for a grease-soaked, salty box o’ fries. It made me want a huge Coke. It made me want a McGriddle.

  Lets make one…

  Oct 02 17

  Consistent fonts for form items
  This article is written partly inspired by Nathan Smith’s article from Sonspring. The idea with his article is that most browsers by default display form items with a different style than that of the document. This is because by default, form items do not inherit the CSS rules for font-weight, [...]
