Oh ho! “Professionals”
Navigation-wise, what is a menu? More specifically, is this a menu? As far as I can see, it provides a selection of available options. If you disable CSS, it’s organised into a list of options. But oh no, for design elitists who favour solid, stubborn, Web 2.0-style designs and can’t see anything else through their little eyes, menus must be organised in the same way as all the other “clean and simple” designs out there. By some commentators on this article I dugg, it’s not a menu. Please enlighten me then, what’s the new definition of a “menu”?
Is HTML/CSS coding then?
You have designers, front-enders and programmers. A designer shouldn’t HTML, a front-ender shouldn’t write code and a programmer shouldn’t design. The reverse is also true, a programmer shouldn’t need to worry about front-ending, a front-ender shouldn’t be designing and a designer shouldn’t write code.
Some people can combine 2 or 3, but that’s rarely a good combination, or only a good combination in their mind and the minds of equally retarded peers. In conclusion, professionals specialize themselves and don’t do things below (or above) their paycheck.
Ah, I see. No, that was sarcasm. I don’t see. I don’t see at all why programmers do not need to worry about how users at the front-end are going to use their software. Are you coding shit for your own back-end use? Would you be more happy hiring a programmer, a front-ender and a designer for a project, or would you like to hire someone who can do all of that just as well if not better than three specialists?
I’m sad. Because while an economist is a professional and a lawyer is a professional, I’m wanting to be an commercial (economics) lawyer. That’s just wow, “only a good combination in [my] mind and the minds of equally retarded peers.” I’m not really sad, cause I think I just quoted a retard.
Continuing on from the same person…
That said, the article in this Digg-post is neither advanced nor “coding” – it’s HTML and CSS.. the basics, really, of anyone professional enough to bother working with professional people. The MVC-idea if you will, Model, View, Control. But most people here aren’t professionals I suppose, so.. sorry for sounding “elitist” (not intended that way), but if you consider this example “advanced coding”.. well.. you’re not that experienced.
I agree with part of that. To me, it’s not “advanced coding”, even though it may well be for some. But totally denying that HTML and CSS are “coding”… Well, what are they then? They’re just… HTML and… CSS. Right.
And for all that time, I’ve been referring to HTML and CSS as coding! Well, since I’m neither a professional in design nor coding, I don’t need to change my terms for an egghead of a “professional”.
