Weekend hiring drives... How common they are and what do you guys think about 'em? 👀

Usually my workplace is pretty chill, but today something rantworthy happened!

During code review, I found this guy had styled each element inside his components using nth-child selectors. For instance, in a card the heading was styled by nth-child(1), the text was styled by nth-child(2) and so on... No use of actual fucking classnames.

When I pointed this out, he told me it was actually the better way of doing things because classnames increase the size of the HTML document!

He also claimed proudly that nth-child() is more efficient in performance (idk - anybody can confirm this?)

I'm the only "css guy" there so nobody could second my views. Posting it here so that I can show this to him tomorrow by demonstrating what opinion other css devs have on this and prove my concerns / convince him to change his code.

Google has announced AMP for emails. Now emails can have dynamic components.

Thoughts?

Art is what I love

Anybody else has to go back to work from 26th - right after Christmas?
😭

I've decided that my 2019 will start from February 1st. January is a free trial month.

Wanted to discuss about this AMP framework by Google. I have developed with it for my company and have been having mixed feelings about it.

On one end, it gives you the power of Google cache, declarative layout and all.
But still, it seems to be too restrictive and filled with bizarre rules that often could have been avoided if they just made guidelines for normal "web pages" to be better and not yet another framework to build "AMP pages".

One more (and probably the biggest) thing. AMP is Open Source... But can it be really considered Open if the biggest player in its development is a single corporation?

Unleshing the power of Telugu.

Got myself this on new year. For all my data. Hope it's a good decision!

Happy New Year everyone ^_^

What are webhooks anyway? From what I read, they are just a fancy way of talking about APIs and HTTP requests.

I have to integrate Branch.io journeys to a React PWA. Just started reading the docs and got a basic idea.

Just confused about how shall I add the web SDK in the React way.
Also, any explanations, tips, things-I-should-beware about branch?

[that is, if anyone's happened to have heared of it]

Make it sticky.

Make everything sticky.

Oh, this year on Christmas, I'm gonna roam around on devRant and ++ any rants I see stagnant at 19...

DisCuSSion:
Is BEM a necessary evil?

It's the start of my career - I got an exciting internship offer. There is a lot of work though. I must say, devRant is helping a lot ;-)
