On my last post, I got wild comments from the "social" internet community. It went from: "I didn't read it but I disagree" to people telling me I'm just a random guy to randomly (moreso unfoundedly) ranting on Next.js - despite the fact that I broug...
As expected when posting, some users claim that I picked one specific sample. I can't put all samples here that I found, this blog post would be endless. You are very welcome to check the code yourself, with Code Complexity linters and your own thoug...

For any of my projects in the last years, Next.js was the framework of choice. For future projects I'm not sure anymore and I'm in the midst of a Next.js crisis so to say. Please note: I'm not bashing Next.js here. I'm using Next.js still everyday b...

In the Tech Community in the last few years there have been strong opinions on things. But some things are not opinions. Some things can simply be explained by facts.
One of it is the assumption that display: flex or display: grid are alternatives for floating. They are not. Period.

At this point you might think that I am crazy but let me elaborate before you agressively type comments destroying your keyboard.
display: flex is born out of a requirement that CSS hasn't solved before: Proper Layouting. In other words: Using display: block; float: ... for layouts always was a workaround. Same as in the old times when we used <table ..> for layouting.
float: ... ?As I said: It was never built for "layouting" in the sense of what we understand as "layouting" today. Such that we have to get back to what it's actually supposed to do.
As the term float already states it is supposed to let things float (no shit sherlock) as opposed to display: flex which cannot let things float. So it's an awesome helper to wrap text around any kind of figure which makes up for a very awesome reading experience if used correctly.
The pragmatic explanation will be done via my CodePen where Drake will help you to understand better:
