Someone mentioned sunk costs a couple of days ago, and here’s a glaringly stupid example but watch everyone justify the price tag with all sorts of reasons.

Sweet project! I will give this a go today :)

I can’t tell if this is satire or not.

Not just enterprise, any human organisation.

Also sunk costs “should in theory” never be considered but I’ve only ever seen sunk costs considered.

I’ve made some gnarly custom forms over the years but never quite run into the problem you’re describing.

These days if starting a greenfield web app, each page has its own style/css sent in the head tag.

Because it’s usually just base layout + page specific styles/overrides then it barely adds any overhead in the scheme of things(couple of extra KB).

Maybe the base layout could be moved into a static file to be cached but whatever, it’s already ridiculously quick to render plain html/css.

If you lack a solid component system, you likely do not require complex tools to manage CSS.

CEO’s are a weird breed, pretty sure this dudes never met a real one.

A surprising number of CEOs are borderline illiterate.

Amen.

My thoughts exactly.

Dialog is easy to use with just plain JavaScript.

It's just plain easy. It boggles my mind that nobody uses it.

But then again it boggles my mind that you can pass WCAG with those "is this a motorcycle?" things or that stupid anime girl you see on Linux pages or a GDPR popup and you can. People will say "what if you have to support WCAG and GDPR?" and I say "sometimes you have to make a choice", I mean a11y work is damned if you damned and damned if you don't, just damned all the time and personally the EU screws up my life a lot more than Iran ever did.

>But what makes a human mind more "understanding"? Who says we're not simulating? Who says our mind even exists, in this space?

The people running the experiment.

And yes is the answer to what should be a rhetorical question.
