  • That being said, CSS frameworks are still wonderful, used right they can save a lot of time during early development by outsourcing the majority of design to the framework devs.

    That’s actually my intent with using a CSS framework. A personal project of mine reached minimum viable product statud status (phones…) recently, I included bulma, and used some of its components for stuff like menus and modals. It was definitely faster than writing everything by hand early on. But I also ended up writing my own CSS anyway, especially with the grid, which is the foundation on which my app works on (it’s a grid-based colour mixing app).

    I agree, I think CSS frameworks have a place for prototyping and we shouldn’t rely on them as a project moves towards a proper release 🤔

    Then again, some people might think the obfuscation in 20+ classes is somehow a good thing…frankly, I think it’s worse than inline styles. It’s basically obfuscated inline styles!


  • My reasons for taking notes is basically “yes” to everything you mentioned.

    Recently, my notes came in handy when I finally submitted my project as a final project for an online course I was taking. It spanned about 4 months of start and stop progress so a lot of my initial thoughts would have been lost if I hadn’t journalled about what I did on days I worked on the project.

    In my last job, I would take notes of what I’m doing by hand. Or sketch out plans of what I want to do with the internal tools I made just so I’m not wasting time or falling into the trap of feature creep.

    I also do it to practice writing.

    I’ve done most of my note taking in Obsidian.md (and I sync them with git), but sometimes I leave notes in a private Discord server if it’s something I want instant access to.
