  • I remember navigating for my dad as a kid using a physical street map. It was a great feeling tracking your position on the map and telling the driver what turn to make next.

    But nothing beats the convenience of having a small rectangle that automatically calculates routes for you, especially when travelling alone.











  • My point is sematics.

    You can style your whole webpage with divs, but using main, nav, footer or whatever blocks is semantically more correct, because you group elements together that have a certain purpose.

    A HTML Tag in the middle of a sentence is not wrong per se, but when parsing it a line break could signify two sentences where one has missing punctuation, instead of a complete sentence as your original intention was.

    I don’t really care how the design you want is achieved to be honest, but I don’t get why the prof didn’t argue against.


  • Oh boy.

    We had a class in the first semester of uni where we had to create a static html page based on a screenshot.

    There was this one textbox at the top of the site, where the only way you could recreate the screenshot was by using a <br/> in the middle of the text.

    The prof was very picky about your HTML being semantically thorough and correct, so that was super weird that that was necessary.

    I don’t think it’s okay to be toxic to newbies but there certainly are cases where the solution to problems was a google search and 10 minutes of reading away.

    There are a lot of community heroes out there, that spend their days supporting users in forums, without having any monetary benefit from it, that in my opinion may have a reason to be upset if someone does not want to spend any effort on their own in trying to solve their problem.
