I’m a dad so it gives me great joy to present:
If it's stupid but it works,
an OSHA inspectorthe reviewer cries themselves to sleep tonight.🤣🤣🤣
True fact: That man is a cloud programmer that completed his training last year and is 25 years old.
soo relatable haha
If it's a personal project I usually just kinda give up on it after 10 mins of looking at the mess I made haha.
Today's comiCSS cartoon: what if styling technologies/strategies were human languages.
Hay una versión en español:
I agree that Spanish is CSS and I like both of them!
Thanks so much for your post! I love this comparison, making fun of certain linguistic aspects, so let me add my perspective.
German isn't tailwind, although I love the pun about "nein" (pronounced "nine" but meaning "no"). Maybe German is SQL, as Germans have been described as people not talking a lot (niemcy), but that depends on the region and character. I like to talk a lot (or not at all). And we have many words and unnecessarily complicated grammar, so I would say that German is Java, with its verbose formalism. But what's tailwind, then? Tailwind could be Finnish or Bahasa Indonesia, as I don't know much about all three of them except for their lengthiness. BEM isn't French, although both are easier to read than to write. French is SHA-1, following comprehensible logic only in one direction. Unlike in English, I always know how to pronounce what I read in French. But the only way to distinguish
il,ils, andîleis guessing from the context.English is JavaScript. It's everywhere, and we can do everything, but I never get it perfectly right without making at least one subtle error. I keep practicing for years and still feel far from perfection. If JS is American English, Typescript must be British English. But we could also compare JavaScript to Turkish. It allows us to express complex things in a short and concise way.
Last but not least, Ukrainian would be Matlab. I can decipher and read it without getting the slightest idea what it's all about, while the Ukrainians make great applications like Grammarly, which is probably not built with Matlab but by Ukrainians. Without Grammarly, I would have had difficulty writing so many English posts recently, or my readers would have had difficulty understanding what I meant. So while others rely on chatGPT, I rely on Grammarly as a secret assistant. 🕵️😃
And if I had all the time in the world, I would love to learn all of those languages and many more! Sorry to overlook Swahili, Arabic, Hebrew, Greek, Farsi, Bulgarian, Portuguese, Romanian, Italian, Gaelic, Korean, Chinese, and any other language I probably never heard of. The world is so full of fascinating things to discover and explore. Why do people give each other such a hard time when this could be such a wonderful world? Okay, I'm a bit late, but that's my contribution to this week's Monday motivation.
Finnish to Tailwind is a poor comparison. Finnish has long words, but can be shorter than English depending on what needs to be described as you need less words to describe things. Tailwind instead consists of short "words".
Of course I'm biased being a Finnish speaker who loves the language but dislikes Tailwind a great deal as it reflects the side of the way of working that I don't give a lot of value into (= get lots of results fast, great for developer, but bad for actual user in the end due to lack of thought into what is being build and how it is being built).
For comparison the first paragraph in Finnish:
Suomen vertaaminen Tailwindiin ontuu. Suomessa on pitkät sanat, mutta asiasta riippuen se voi olla lyhyempää kuin englanti, sillä sanoja tarvitaan vähemmän. Tailwind taas käyttää lyhyitä "sanoja".
I have to admit, many of them are a stretch 😳 More trying to pull a joke than with a real parallelism. Maybe I should rethink it and add more languages to the list. But this time better thought of. Thanks for the suggestions!
It made me laugh, it made me think, and it makes people aware of CSS methodologies, so it must be a good meme after all!
This made me curious about what is the general consensus about Cube CSS methodology ? I was reading about it the other day and it seems really cool, efficient
First time I hear about Cube CSS, will check it.
This needs more votes 💙
