Today's comiCSS

comic with 4 panels in a 2x2 grid. The same character says Trust issues? Of course I have trust issues! You see, I've been working with CSS for a while already... (over a dark gray background) ...And, in CSS, this is gray... (over a light gray background) ...but this is darkgray. Then sighs And don't get me started with the sea greens!

Other examples where CSS can create trust issues:

  • The sea green color family: darkseagreen is lighter than lightseagreen; Not to mention that lightseagreen and darkseagreen are not even close to the hue of seagreen and mediumseagreen. Definitely not related.
  • Talking about font weights: bolder can be lighter than bold, and lighter can be as heavy as bold. That's becuase bold is an absolute value that translates to 700, while bolder and lighter are relative values that depends on the parent's font-weight.
  • Going back to colors: you can use gray or grey, darkgray or darkgray... but you cannot use colour instead of color. (But that makes more sense... I guess)

Fun times with CSS...

Given the panel, at least Gemini makes more sense.

A comic strip in four panels: An adventurer kneels on a path, facing a small cookie with tiny arms and legs. The creature looks miserable and is crying while looking at the ground. The adventurer is concerned for the little being. Adventurer: Oh... What’s wrong, my little fellow? Close-up of the little cookie lifting its head, eyes still teary. Cookie: Well, I’m a little cookie, but no one accepts me anymore... With a kind heart and to comfort it, the adventurer picks it up in her hand and says in a motherly tone. Adventurer: Come on, I accept you. Climb onto my back. Wide shot of the path, our adventurer with the little cookie on her shoulder walking towards the horizon, both happy with their encounter. In the foreground, among the grass at the edge of the path, a small army of fierce cookies with camouflage makeup emerges. Their leader whispers the order: Cookie Leader: Alright, guys, she took the bait! Let’s track her down!

Comic by David Revoy (source).

Being good at software takes a certain tendency to obsess over things. It shouldn't be surprising that lots of developers are also deep into all sorts of nerdy fandoms, be it anime, d&d, etc.

Worse…when the designer sends the client a “live” Figma link and client thinks the site is done…and then gets pissed when they’re told they’re still a minimum of 8 weeks from actually getting the site launched…
