Think of it as a function you can unleash on others…

Aka “I have zero responsibility here.”

We are talking about about engineers whose careers are based around abstractions.

It’s funny how accountability is just ignored so that certain folks get to feel good.

Having worked in tech companies for decades, I’ve never once felt comfy with letting computer science majors just take the wheel… but I’m sure someone think this hits “hard”.

Historically it’s blamed on UX. PMs don’t create products they run MS Excel.

The gators are everyone that interacts with your code.

There wasn’t an excuse in the first place. It’s kinda amazing anyone can say centering a div was ever hard, especially if you have a computer science degree.

I mean sure it’s different from say object-oriented programming… but it’s frankly weird in a professional setting hearing grown adults with plenty of experience struggle over basic front-end work.

Meanwhile in reality css totally confounds the well paid experts in c# and the whole world suffers.

But yea fonts…

If it makes a dev’s life easier there’s no reason not to upend half the planet.
