    The irony of some dude trying to prove a point that a website doesn’t need to be bloated and burdened with all the design and fancy scripts, just for other people to incrementally built on top of that idea, one-upping each other in the process, mimicking the exact evolution of the modern bloated website as we know it.

      From one of them:

      “You’re a fucking moron if you use default browser styles.”

      Or just change your browser settings (they shouldn’t be ugly by default).

        Honestly I hate the fact that browsers’ default CSS exists. The person doing the frontend should have to specify their “default” CSS before the website even loads. I say this as both a user and a programmer, the same website shouldn’t look different or break on different browsers unintentionally due to the browser’s CSS, and I as a developer shouldn’t have to rely on reset sheets to try to patch that.

        Everything would be better if it were swapped around, instead of picking out a reset sheet for a site you pick out a default style…

        The world would also be better if browsers rendered pugjs/slim and scss/sass and those were the default rather than html and css but I digress…
