< Get ready to hamsterization!
i do like a lot of the new css and html features, but i think the issue is less about said features and more about the fact that companies have forgotten the purpose of websites is to convey information and if you make it hard to consume the information your website is a failure.
personally i also handwrite everything i do, i do use a templating engine on my site but that's because i post daily on it so its easier then copying and pasting every page every time, but everything used by the templater is my work by hand c:
i personally enjoy it, its very calming for me, html and css are two of the few programming languages (yes i know they aren't technically turning complete) that i never feel stress in, and as much as i love the feeling of when you solve a massive problem, sometimes you don't want to solve any problems.
I also write down my thoughts in a notebook or in an “idea book” on my phone)))
By the way, if you look at the idea in which I invested my time, it’s quite simple to implement a blog. you just create another page, and then insert a link to this page wherever you want.
and you have no restrictions on design, it can be a different font or color each time. There are no intentional rules or restrictions.
and most importantly, I am now making a second set of templates that will also be displayed equally in browsers of different generations, be it 1997, 2007, 2017, or now. because HTML 4 technologies still work today. and layout on divs was implemented back in version 3.2, on which, by the way, the main page of the site was made. and it opens even under dos.
This is what I would like to see from modern developers, so that their work would work on all computers and not just on the newest ones
