Gregory's Server@samhenrigold if I ever become the CEO (goals) of a large company, I will go onto eBay with a budget of $40 per device and buy a computer for every developer. Biweekly, I will force them to use it for the work day.

@samhenrigold yeah it’s shocking how awful it is to use cheap Chromebooks. Ironically, google’s own text editing suite is insufferable

Evan, at one point, when I worked at VK, we had an XP desktop set up in the corner of the office so web developers could test things on old IE. That was in the early 2010's.

@grishka @samhenrigold man, I kinda want to support IE today just for fun, but I cannot live without flexbox

Evan, so out of curiosity, I just opened Smithereen in IE 11, probably for the first time ever. To my surprise, it's looking much better than I expected. There is definitely some flexbox support (I just changed the posts themselves from tables to flex a few days ago), but no support for CSS variables (comment indents rely on them but there aren't any).

@grishka @samhenrigold Oh dang thats sick. I completely forgot about CSS variables, thats another thing I couldn't live without. Overall, not a bad look! |
@eb Fully support this. I think the classic example is Figma: it’s traditionally a developer tool and gets used on absurdly powerful machines but it’s also used by high schoolers on school-issued Chromebooks. And it has to be optimized heavily for both use cases without being (too) opinionated or throwing a “your hardware can’t handle this” message
