Opinion about CSS

[u/MaganBall]

honestly, inline css proves that css regular doesnt need to exist, just use inline.

[u/pacdude]

This has to be bait, no real designer can be this fucking stupid

[u/MaganBall → u/pacdude]

ofc, just running out of run out of logical arguments and immediately insulting, classic

[u/pacdude → u/MaganBall]

You can’t build anything good anyway, so no reason to waste logic on you

[u/MaganBall → u/pacdude]

see? He agrees, inlines better than stylesheets

[u/pacdude → u/MaganBall]

See? He agrees, he can’t design for shit

[u/mondayquestions]

And then you make a small modification to how your buttons look and have to update hundreds of buttons’ inline styles across dozens of files.

Good luck changing your color palette too.

find & replace

[u/zeon_j1 → u/MaganBall]

with the structure of one of my HTML and CSS projects, i'd rather die that find and replace each inline css

[u/MaganBall → u/zeon_j1]

the find & replace tool

[u/Rockafellor]

Inline is more convenient in some ways, such as small pages when one wishes to drop-in only a few things, but keeping an external sheet makes projects much easier to manage when one needs a sweeping change to the ids and classes.

How long have you been learning CSS?

[u/MaganBall → u/azangru]

does it really matter?

[u/azangru → u/MaganBall]

Yes. Normally, over time, you learn what inline css can do, and what it can't.

[u/MaganBall → u/azangru]

well im pretty sure ik everything and I can say that inline css is better, its truth bro, ion know what to tell ya?

[u/omysweede]

Oh, you young ones, and your complete inability to learn from previous generations. Let me give you another idea: instead of using CSS, just use tables. Use transparent GIFs for positioning. Make the links open in popup windows. Use animated GIFs with text instead of real text to make it look cool.

Congrats: you now have an unmaintainable website from 1996.

Learn CSS, young grasshopper, especially the cascading part of it.

[u/Rockafellor → u/omysweede]

Man, that brings back some memories. For transparency, I have to admit to a certain fondness for tables (I know their weak points are... well, bad, and I can't really defend them well; I can only say that something about them appeals to me — that said though, I have no wish to return to the eye-bleeding '90s web designs 😆).

[u/MaganBall → u/omysweede]

Ion know what gave ya that impression but ig in your years of experience ya just haven't figured out that inline is better, smh

[u/DisasterSmall2129]

it is but only when you are building little silly programs

[u/uncle_jaysus]

When you say "inline", what specifically do you mean? Sometimes, people say this and mean having the CSS on the page in <style> tags. Other times they mean on a per-element basis, such as <div style="display:flex;">

The former is good if you have a method for managing it. The latter is madness.

[u/MaganBall → u/uncle_jaysus]

ofc im talkin bout style="", im not a freak of nature using a <style> tag

[u/uncle_jaysus → u/MaganBall]

So you've chosen madness. 😅

[u/Aggressive_Ad_5454]

With respect. Your headline is a true statement. That is, certainly, an opinion about CSS.

[u/deceze → u/Aggressive_Ad_5454]

Certainly one of the opinions of all time.

[u/Donkey_Bugs]

Extremely bad practice. You must be trolling.

[u/MaganBall → u/Donkey_Bugs]

guess ya've been practicing wrong

[u/Donkey_Bugs → u/MaganBall]

Bloated, unmaintainable code, yeah that’s best practices alright. Web standards, who needs ‘em!

[u/MaganBall → u/Donkey_Bugs]

web standards are invisible barriers anyways. Also, find & replace

[u/Donkey_Bugs]

Don’t stop at inline CSS, use deprecated tags, too! The FONT tag needs love, and don’t forget BLINK. Use that one all over the place to command user’s attention (or give them a seizure)

[u/MaganBall → u/Donkey_Bugs]

he aint no printer, he spittin fax tho

[u/deceze]

Because you want to repeat the same styles over and over for each element? And if you decide you'd like your headers/headlines/paragraphs/whatever with 1px more margin after all, or have your links in pink, you're going to change it on every element on every page?

[u/MaganBall → u/deceze]

have you heard of find & replace? its a pretty cool tool

[u/deceze → u/MaganBall]

Have you heard of external style sheets? They're even cooler.

[u/MaganBall → u/deceze]

wastes bandwidth making you have a separate file the site has to parse thru, and wastes text in <head> with <link>, plus the burnout of opening up a separate file.

[u/deceze → u/MaganBall]

You must be trolling. Repeating the same styles over and over wastes a ton more bandwidth and text than downloading and caching a shared stylesheet once.

[u/MaganBall → u/deceze]

ion know man, my experience? Pretty fast, gotta tell ya

[u/omysweede → u/MaganBall]

I don't believe you have any experience. I don't believe you are old enough to shave.

[u/phn-cloudsnake]

Are we not doing DRY anymore, I’m used to keep things organised using frameworks and pre-processors. Next thing you tell me vanilla JavaScript and jQuery is all you need, everything else is just bloat

[u/MaganBall → u/phn-cloudsnake]

DRY is jst an OCD philosophy and a social construct

[u/phn-cloudsnake → u/MaganBall]

So… find and replace?

[u/MaganBall → u/phn-cloudsnake]

exactly bro! You get it

[u/ocelot-373MD]

I personally know this dude, he's fucking with yall

[u/MaganBall → u/ocelot-373MD]

who tf are you bruh 😭, this my genuine opinion

[u/Top_Bumblebee_7762]

I prefer proper CSS like tailwind or styled components 

[u/MaganBall → u/Top_Bumblebee_7762]

tailwinds basically inline css anyways
