> Here [2] is a table of best selling movies, inflation adjusted. No movie made in the past 25 years, including the endless men in spandex movies, is among them.
The Force Awakens (2015) is #11. Avatar (2009) is #15. Avengers Endgame (2019) is #16. And that’s just in the top 20. Not too bad for a list that covers a century of films, especially when you consider the limited entertainment options available in the first half of that century.
Tags are functions that receive an array of strings and then a series of arguments corresponding to values passed in the interpolation slots, allowing you to use template literal syntax while the tag function does something much more complex under the hood, potentially including returning non-string values.
I haven't used Tailwind in a larger codebase, but it looks to me like the problem here isn't with Tailwind, it's with the lack of abstraction in the HTML.
The tone of the article rubbed me the wrong way as well. Pointing to a couple of examples of bad Tailwind usage and then making the sweeping generalization that using Tailwind is equivalent to "the death of web craftsmanship" is completely over the top.
Sure, using Tailwind means that you won't have lots of one-off "craftsmanship" in writing CSS. But that doesn't mean there's no craftsmanship. It just means that the focus of the craftsmanship moves from writing nice CSS to designing nice boundaries between your HTML components.
But what do I know? I've only been writing semantic HTML and CSS professionally for 18 years.
You're not crazy. I've used Tailwind to accomplish 75% of the work required to rebrand an enterprise website with over 6k pages of unique content by updating only the Tailwind config. It's not perfect, but it's a reliably productive enough system as far as I'm concerned.
Interestingly, in the US, slavery is explicitly permitted by the Constitution as a punishment for crimes. (Though whether prison labor should count as "slavery" or as a different form of "involuntary servitude" is an interesting semantic question.)
"Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
Game rules are generally not copyrightable. The particular written expression of game rules may be, though. So it becomes a question of how much it took from the game books and whether it presented them verbatim or in a new way.
