You mean Windows 2000, the most stable Windows NT version implementing all the "new" ideas inspired by UNIX and the most minimalist classic UI. But Windows 7 wasn't that bad either, at least if you didn't directly compare it with a (less customizable) MacOS or a (less out-of-the-box non-technical "user-friendly" but much faster developer experience) Linux system from the same time.

They used to say photography is not art but will obsolete painters. Well, it did obsolete some painters, like an abacus or an electronic pocket calculator obsoleted some mathematicians.

@AlgoRythm that's theme.json, but try to build a WordPress theme only using theme.json to customize - good luck!

At least the original list included accessibility and usability. But what's the "front end"?
From a back end view of a database, the server-side business logic looks like the front end. From there, any client looks like the front end, although it might be middleware logic or a proxy. We might say, everything that's executed in a browser is the frontend, but what about the JavaScript code of an SPA that communicates with a backend API vs. the actual view or presentation layer with its look and feel? -
Does anyone remember Blockout? The super elegant and abstract 3D tetris for DOS?

Well, you can cite facts, but that won't spread your feelings, it might even have a rebound effect, like too much advocacy for Tailwind or TypeScript seemed to have fueled controversies.
Why is CSS beautiful and elegant?
Because it's descriptive rather than imperative, functional or anything of those aspects that make other programming languages overcomplicated. It's also quite compact. And pure CSS is less ugly and more lintable than any CSS-in-JS code or overly verbose tailwind or bootstrap class name strings.
Apart from its idiosyncrasies, like white-space: nowrap; or the fact that there is no implementation of a helpful no-descending-specificity rule that doesn't nag about completely unrelated stuff. Apart from mad (but useful) hacks like pseudo-elements that are hard to debug in browser dev tools. Apart from that, I still love CSS! -
SEO suspicions are missing in the list
-
maybe I should call myself nondeveloper
-
and add line numbers
-
like those "how to build an XYZ clone in 2 hours" tutorials
-
Reminds me of an epic underestimation I made long ago that cost me a lot of time and money and nearly ended in a lawsuit.

Ich vice nicht, väs zöll äs bedöyten XD

daily standup, "casual" coffee machine line talk, afternoon meeting, and some short "do you have a minute" interruptions = the bad side of corporate work culture

We don't need artificial intelligence when there is human ignorance and the Dunning Kruger effect, but those devs are the first making heave use of AI and seeing no problem with that.

I try to only rebase my own uncommitted work at the end of the day. I don't like squashes, people have done atomic commits and commit messages for a reason (or at least I hope they did).
But no matter merge or rebase, there will be "conflicts" sooner or later, and when people are allowed to rebase and force-push, they can destroy valuable work without even leaving their name tag. -
and don't forget the PR review discussions about the 109 file caused by automatically reformatting other peoples' code according to the coding standards
-
shouldn't Hermione be "Germans" or would that only fit a cliché of a past long gone?
-
I expect my editor to apply .editorconfig consistently while editing, but it doesn't. Maybe I also forgot to configure .editorconfig properly for this project, so I will have to check.
-
probably one of those opinionated rules that will be removed when I manage to upgrade my tools
-
@retoor plus every "alternative" search service that uses Bing in the background, like ecosia

good old times when "ai" still meant algorithms and maintainable source code
