That's why css names should be semantic. I'm sure it started actually purple until UX said "can we make this primary text more blue so it doesn't look like a clicked link?" Replacing all references to "purple" wasn't an option because of unrelated usage of that word elsewhere and they weren't using an IDE capable of contextual rename of a css class. So they just changed the color code and called it a day.

sed -i 's/.purple/.not-purple/g' *.css

done, boss

This just gave me a panic attack

It's fine as long as you have proper source control. Run it and check the diff before committing.

But I set my .git directories to have .css filename extensions!!?! It shouldn’t be my job to educate you.

[-] FoxBJK@midwest.social 3 points 10 months ago

Gotta do it on the HTML files and JS files too. Then you gotta re-test every page that uses those files.

Then the boss looks over your code and asks why you didn’t just change the actual color because that’s easier to QC.

Yeah, but if you just used css variables, this would’ve been a doddle. One and done.

I’m sorry but the solution to every argument is not just to throw of the word “semantic” in the sentence. Context is everything.

I'm sorry but who is saying that? Nobody is. If you are paying attention to the context, you will notice they are talking about CSS class names. That's the context, and it's a valid point within that context.

Excuse me, don't you mean dark orange?

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 4 points 10 months ago

Sure does, as a mixture of multiple wavelengths.

[-] TonyTonyChopper@mander.xyz 1 points 10 months ago

the popups on the mobile version of this site are nauseating

[-] TomAwsm@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

My apologies. With Firefox and uBlock Origin I don't see any ads or popups anymore.

[-] FishFace@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

Hey if you're colourblind, all blues can be blurple. And so can all purples!

[-] moog@lemm.ee 10 points 10 months ago

Why is a color class also changing the display to inline is what I wanna know

[-] ndru@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

Tip of the iceberg. I’m perplexed about every 30 minutes working on this codebase.

[-] SebKra@feddit.de 3 points 10 months ago

My guess is that this tactical tornado here didn't know the difference between a span and a div

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 4 points 10 months ago

Send help.

Set up something to change all fonts to Comic Sans before you leave. That's all the help I can offer you, OP

[-] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 4 points 10 months ago
