[tantek] It’s the syntax version of bikeshedding IMO
#
[tantek] if someone is asking those kinds of questions you have the larger problem of trying to have a conversation about a healthy forest when they’re debating the weeds
#
[tantek] Not worth the time investment IMO

#
[fluffy] now I’m imagining someone who takes “semantic formatting” too far and does all styling based on + and > selectors
#
[fluffy] for bonus points, * instead of element names
#
KartikPrabhu look for the owl selector
#
[fluffy] … wow, I didn’t know that was a thing
#
[fluffy] thanks, i hate it
#
KartikPrabhu lol
#
KartikPrabhu it is useful if used correctly. not for random/all styles
#
[fluffy] anyway like I was thinking it’d be like… * > * > * to only apply a style to all third-level-or-deeper elements, or * > * > * + * to only apply a style to all third-level-or-deeper second children
#
[fluffy] building up these monstrous positional selectors that apply to all elements in a certain way and then you end up undoing things for the more specific ones
#
KartikPrabhu yup which is why i said "used correctly" for some styles
#
KartikPrabhu anyway way off topic for this channel
#
[fluffy] oh, yeah, sorry
