There's an *awful lot* of JavaScript that exists solely because the developer didn't know CSS well enough.
^ That JS is slower, more fragile, and more expensive to maintain than the equivalent CSS.
^ I have invested in CSS technology because when CSS is easier to maintain, we move the fulcrum between the two. And that means better apps.
^ That amazing CSS dev who doesn't know JavaScript is building a design that needs less JS.
^ and if the measure of a good developer is the code they don't write, that makes a great CSS dev the best JavaScript dev on your team. 🔥
^ Ultimately this notion that a JS dev is more valuable than a CSS dev is just the same tired fucking bullshit that backend > frontend.
