There’s a lot of ideas in self development circles which could be argued, but some, like this one - are so obviously important that it’s crazy they’re not taught in school. How is it that 9 out of 10 people wouldn’t be able to notice/call out/explain this pattern 🫨

@joebell_ @tailwindcss (I’m a big tailwind fan and have been using it for years), but I think “create a component for every large group of classes” has big limitations especially outside a component-friendly framework like react, and I’m wondering if you’ve ever thought those limitations would ever…

At what point do you think it makes sense to simply not-use-tailwind for all…

This was one of my slides at Big Sky Dev Con. The amount of progress in the last 2 years is mind boggling - I know there's been false starts in the past but something has changed. If you still think the future of web dev is adding an npm library because "the browser's not good enough" I've got some bad news for you.

@jeffwhelpley @ChrisEsplin I like that way of framing it. I would largely use the approach you mentioned if those were my goals for sure - in particular Cloudflare. I went down a deep rabbit hole of building a site optimizer that would inline CSS and a bunch of other optimizations when doing e-commerce…

@jeffwhelpley @ChrisEsplin Thanks Jeff! I'm talking about web apps specifically (so I'm assuming behind a login). But while I have you - let's say I do load a 70kb (gzipped) blocking css file on a website - to what extent will google search penalize me for stats that look like this? https://t.co/6dVPsD5swS

An example: Tailwind Lite is 68kb gzipped. Yes that's "70kb of blocking CSS", but it's also the vast majority of all the classes your app will need, full stop. Seems extremely reasonable to me.

The more I've thought about it, the more I think the obsession with avoiding *any* excess kilobytes on first page load is silly for most web apps (excluding maybe e-commerce).
Web apps are designed for long running user sessions: A slightly longer-than-usual first request is 1) Not noticed by 99% of users, and 2) A reasonable way to give your browser the code it needs to run the rest of the web app.
(Talking about a few hundred kbs of css/js here, not MBs). On a half decent connection with server round-trip you're looking at a few hundred milliseconds. On very slow connections it's a few seconds, which is bad, but in that case the app is going to need all sorts of other optimizations, and even then, front-loading the assets often still comes out as best all-in solution, assuming you're not using a ton of libraries, which you shouldn't be in most cases.

Yeah. If you're a decent founder you generally work quite hard and think a lot about customer-desires. If you can force yourself into that mindset as an employee, and be ok with 30% of your work being dull/frustrating - you're already miles ahead of others - doesn't have to require long hours - simple not easy.

Recruiting is a great example of the limits of structured data - I remember when the internet was taking off and there was lots of talk about how middle men like recruiters and real estate agents were dust, because now everyone had “perfect information”. There’s no such thing as perfect information. There are enormous databases listing skills, experiences and qualifications for hundreds of millions of people. And yet hiring for knowledge work is still a complete black box. Many making the same mistake when it comes to AI

Something I find super odd - a lot of components you see design engineers obsessing over - you almost never see in real products. The multi-level dropdown is a great example - the only place these menus persist in most UIs today are at the OS level or for some native apps and that's about it. But they're one of the first things in every component library.
