@ZubyMusic Easy. I would buy all the classics and take a couple years off to read them.

@Kc111499 @HaveAHeartoX @DARIAKRUGER @lasanhist I'd recommend the 6-volume book series called the Symposium on Creation. Can be hard to find all 6 but worth it. From there you'll have a wealth of names and further sources to look into. Awesome topic!

@tomblanchardCSS Hmm I need this. Can you point PurgeCSS at liquid for the content files? Any issues with liquid logic within class attributes?

@tobi The Rules of Double-Entry Bookkeeping by Luca Pacioli. Published in 1494, baby. The original accounting manual. Only 108 pages.

@jhanstra But divide is such a negative word when really all that's happening is the web is growing. The problem comes when it's misunderstood what someone does. The term "front-end developer" is too ambigious now in the larger context of the web. 2/2

@jhanstra I see more of what you're talking about. Seems like just a petty debate on how to use and not use JavaScript. Meanwhile, the disciplines of UX, design, accessibility and so on are becoming more and more specialized as distinct full-time positions. That's the divide. 1/2

@jhanstra UX involves much, much more than CSS. It involves solving problems mostly outside of the codebase but while encompassing it. I see it as an architect role on the frontend that should consider the experience of everyone that interacts with any part of the site.

@jhanstra I'm seeing a much bigger divide between a growing number of distinct disciplines involved in the web today as a whole, not just a single project. With so many people doing so many different things it's hard to know what "frontend developer" means, exactly.

This is important for people to understand: css-tricks.com/the-great-divi… I've been doing the splits trying to keep a foot on both sides for a long time and it's starting to hurt. I love programming but I'm on the UX side at the end of the day.

@jhanstra Indeed, JavaScript can be used to compensate for the lack of abstraction tools and DOM context that CSS suffers from, but that creates a distinct world with specialized knowledge. Not a bad thing. The web is just growing. There's a lot going on now and much more coming.
