Link bait warning. Author even admits in the comments that what he means is "Going directly from a PSD to an HTML file is dead".

Link bait may get you more traffic in the short turn, but will likely just hurt you in the long run. Especially since lots of people think that he an idiot now.

Why? Who would have thought... Modern day web dev needs to be rendered to different sized screens and we have CSS3, more skills, and better tooling now.

Who does not know this already. I was baited and now he is hated (JK)...

PSD is still used quite commonly for conceptual purposes. Of course no one expects anymore (did they ever?) that it will be pixel perfect across devices ETC.

Yes, yes they do and did. Clients are those who expect it to be pixel perfect.

I won't go into the numerous times over the years I've had a screenshot pasted into a Word document from a client saying "this is two pixels too high".
