Meme Monday!

Today's cover image comes from last week's thread.

DEV is an inclusive space! Humor in poor taste will be downvoted by mods.

Today's comiCSS cartoon:

comic with 4 panels in a 2x2 grid. There are two characters, one of them has the tshirt off and shows a lot of muscles. The other one asks 'Wow, Dave! How did you get like that? You are a web developer!' Dave replies: 'every time I add a Tailwind class... I do one push-up'. In the last panel he adds 'I started with the tutorial yesterday, and have not finished my first page yet... please help...'

Poking a little fun at Tailwind (again) in this cartoon inspired by Shen Comix's "That's him officer."

Imagine having to come up all the class names and CSS yourself, that would be a lot more lines…

Plus, Tailwind is very efficient and minimal (especially when you run a build on it) and reliable.

I like Fireship's video about it here:

It's a joke. Don't take it too seriously.

Tailwind works for you? Use it! CSS-in-JS works for you? Use it! Bulma works for you? Use it! This is not a competition. It may be for the library developers, but it shouldn't be for the Web developers that use those libraries.

I could already tell by your tone (“poking fun at tailwind”) that you were joking, and I also think that if you hate tailwind, it's fine anyway.
But there's a lot of tailwind hate, and then it turns into “you use tailwind so you're a horrible developer!!!”, so I just wanted to make it clear. 🙂

I think the tailwind hate has more to do with the tailwind community than the product itself. Many of the people I've interacted with seemed to be against any other thing that was not tailwind, and they were very vocal about it, while very sensitive to criticism (even valid one). That last point is one of the reasons I make jokes about tailwind every now and then. I know it's petty 😳

I definitely don't think that tailwind is the only solution to styling (though it is a good one).
I haven't seen tailwind people be mad, but I guess I'm not on social media enough (or maybe that's a good thing…)!

Anyway, for me specifically, I don't care what the heck you use for styling as long as you don't force me to use it or explode when I criticize it. 🤭

Wait, since the kitten is laughing in the first panel, are you saying that Java is a joke?

Let's kick things off with this week's awful AI-generated meme

You should share the prompt that you used to generate the AI meme. I think it would be interesting to see it every week too.

Is it just me, or is AI's understanding of a developer just either an angry white dude with apple hardware or a sleep-deprived white dude with apple hardware? xD

It's starting to feel a bit like a pattern tbh.
