We’re trying this Reddit thing again! This time answering only one question and the rest of the episode is one long rant about “utility-first CSS frameworks”. Are they any good? We’re here to let you know what we think, but you can do whatever you want. We won’t mind. But don't use utility-first CSS frameworks.

Missing the old style of podcast episodes where we ramble a bunch about technical stuff? Well, here's another! We talk about some of the new CSS features that were standardized in 2023. These features can be a big help in your everyday CSS writing! Container queries: what are they and how are they different than regular media queries? New viewport units: s- d- l- prefixes for your vw or vh units. How do these differ from our regular vw and vh units? Also, no more jumping interfaces when scrolling on mobile!? Nesting in native CSS!? What does the syntax look like? Is SCSS now obsolete? (no, no it's not) Gap property for flexbox: a small change that prevents a lot of annoying side effects of having margin or padding for spacing child elements. Individual transform properties! No more "transform: translateX(50%) rotate(30deg) scale(1.2);" but now each property gets its own name, like: "translate: 50% 0; rotate: 30deg; scale: 1.2;". What does this mean for transitions? Are there any gotchas? The new ":has()" selector is here! What does it do and is it true you can select the parent of an element? All this and more in this old school episode of ECC!

Here are a few of the many points we discuss: Dependency hell is still a big thing Which framework are we using this week? Testing, user research and data measuring is still an afterthought in agency work (Test driven development is a dream) Backwards development: Why are we building very basic content websites in JavaScript, Next and a headless CMS and convert (most of it) to static templates? It's going to be an episode with a lot of introspection and reflection on the current status quo of web dev!…

In the new season we start things off with a spicy topic: development caution. Tim Cain (game dev and director, known for Fallout 1 & 2, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines and The Outer Worlds) brought this topic up in a video/vlog where he highlights some of his discoveries in the office. The developers he worked with seemed extremely cautious of their estimates and the amount of effort they want to put in the project. Why are developers so cautious? Is this a new thing that's been happening? Is Tim Cain just a boomer? We delve into this topic with our own perspective and we give a short overview of how game development (companies) changed since the 90's.

Watch this episode on YouTube: [COMING SOON] We're back with part 2 of "Developer Horror Stories," and this time, we're diving into the personal nightmares that will send shivers down any developer's spine. Join us for tales from the coding trenches: Unconventional Design : Imagine receiving design materials in software like PowerPoint or a PDF. In Gideon's chilling experience, a client's refusal to invest in design software led to a nightmare scenario. He was tasked with creating a website and styling based on copied screenshots in a PowerPoint file. Survey Software Meltdown : A large-scale survey project with 276 thousand respondents took a horrifying turn when data saving went awry. The survey software, lovingly built in-house, started storing responses in the wrong database rows. Fortunately, daily database backups provided a glimmer of hope. But what followed was a two-day marathon of manually splitting and merging SQL dumps with hundreds of thousands of records. Interview from Hell : Sometimes, the scariest experiences happen outside the code. Gideon's quest for a permanent role in Amsterdam turned into a surreal journey. From unanswered doorbells to a cafeteria filled with unresponsive strangers, the odyssey took an eerie turn. Locked in a meeting room for nearly an hour past the scheduled time, this developer's patience reached its breaking point. Find out how the story ends in this unforgettable tale of a nightmarish job interview.
