- 99% of all the stylesheets out there are just designers trying to show off, minification, compression and gzipping is the new black – funny that Microsoft is one of the first major websites to have realized this
- There is not a single site I’m working on where I don’t enhance css with a few spices of PHP to be able to use variables, different color themes or my simple grid framework
- CSS frameworks are of no use to me, if you can’t code your own maybe you chose the wrong profession somewhere along the line
- Without Firebug I feel naked
- If I have to discuss the emotional abyss that is IE6 with another client I think I have to seriously kill myself
- I’m a real sucker for accessibility features and try to adhere to the new WCAG 2.0 rules as much as possible
- I hate JavaScript/ Ajax almost as much as I hate Flash
- In 2008 I had to code 3 sites with a splash page containing only a giant no-meaning-having ugly and absolutely useless flash movie, each time I almost threw up a little – client is king, period
- There is one thing I wish I could tell every website client I meet – First thing you have to do is cut 80% of your content, then we’ll talk again
- After almost a year on the Mac I did the unthinkable and switched back to Windows Vista of all things – I’m seriously wondering why almost all my dev/design heroes use a Mac. (One thing I will miss is the unix terminal and file structure)
