I agree with some of what the author is saying but add about 10 years of experience. Been coding sites since I was a kid in the mid 90s (I was a web master). I have 10 years working on brochure sites but have spent the last 10 working on major SaaS.

Few things I disagree with:

- The content rant was weird. I've always worked with content designers, instructional designers, or good marketing copy people. Was that about semantics? Sure ya, SEO and a11y.

- Cascading CSS is great until you write a million+ line SaaS app and have 1000 devs working on the code. Then you need scope. The rant is specific to brochure sites.

- SSR. Weird. Do devs really think that? I guess I'm out of touch or my colleagues are better than most.

- A lot of rants seem to be ripping of jr devs. Show them the way! Very yells at cloud.

- CSS nesting I really like. Example of nesting elements inside a class is a hack that should not be done. Nesting is easier to read if done properly.
