This gets posted every few months and the HN crowd loves it. Somehow all the technical geniuses here are still mesmerized by CSS from 20 years ago. Learning all the nuances of the Rust borrow checker doesn't leave any room for much else, except for HTML tables, that stuff got embedded too deep. Set a reminder, it's an easy way to reap the sweet karma.

Well said. I just wish the Zen Garden would put a big banner at the top that says "the cascade turned out to be a terrible idea, now all CSS is JS, and it's scoped to the component using exclusively single-class-selectors with non-deterministic names."

I see quaint selectors like `#main aside .wrapper .design-selection` and just hope jr devs aren't trying to emulate them.
