Join Platy’S Readwise Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Platy's read, .
To keep this market churning, and to give the consulting industry something to sell to firms trying to understand (i.e., increase the productivity of) their younger workers, we have invented a concept that allows “youth culture” to be redefined periodically. This is the concept of the generation.
It’s Time to Stop Talking About “Generations”

A nomenclatural change from Apple that I fully endorse is that they’re now calling the 1× camera the “main camera” instead of the “wide camera”.

I think one concept that's slowly coming into focus for me is just how many engineers want you to experience _their_ experience and spend your time reveling at how clever _their_ stuff is. As if they think you wake up and want to do CSS work. CSS is not the goal. The website I'm building isn't even the goal. The goal is to solve some problem.
Everything that I have to do to solve that problem is an unfortunate (but inevitable) reality. But let's be clear: the goal is to minimize as close to zero, how much time you have to spend doing these things.
CSS, like all code, is a total liability. I want to spend as little time designing and writing it as possible. Which is why I hate CSS: it demands you know the exact current and future (hahahaha) structure of your webpage. `!important` is not some panacea, but I cackle at the ignorance of suggesting that the user is wrong for misusing it.
CSS's !important was added because of laws about font size for some text
