How will you stop it from becoming 4chan in a different layout?

I wasn't talking about icons alone in my second statement. :/

The design trend require soft shadows to be rendered on many elements in layers which I exaggeratedly pointed out. I apologise.

That snark is unneeded. I only meant to be cautious when considering the opinions here.

They went too far on that one.

Do designers consider how expensive the gpu rendering is for skeumomorphism or neuromorphism?

CS career questions is an odd ball though. Internet isn't a reliable way to assess what young people actually think especially in geek or programming circles.

Also, it's not just young people. If you tell someone ignoring the age that you are a plumber or farmer, they aren't going to look at you nicely even if you earn more than the engineer next door. Social media has changed perception of people regarding work. It is a primary means of keeping up with the world for younger gen and targeted advertisements make it worse. Instagram feeds have a happy skin-showing bias. Tiktok removes anything too sad or ugly.

I expressed in my earlier comment that expectations for young people now are different. They think they should be able to live better than their parents do now or did on the same folds the productivity has increased.

Compare 2000 to now and how work has been automated or made easier. Why not 5x-10x improvement in the living condition? That is why they want to get into FAANG.

I think I am qualified to answer this. It's harder to fool people when you can look at metrics compared to before. Information is widely available so adults can't make up rainbows to make me wage away for something that has no clear chance of a healthy life. Expectations are different for younger generation precisely because human productivity increased many folds but yet we have to grind more or less the same amount of time + spend more time in institutions which are not funded well except for the rich folks. Overall, world is getting better but that doesn't mean it is getting better relative to the effort everyone has put in for majority.

I support equal opportunity rather than bandids. The system is rigged and harm some people more than others. We need to find the core problems and fix them but I have no political power. By the time I do, I may become a grumpy old man who thinks people deserve what they got and it's their fault. Education system normalize this. Punishments are applied fairly but students are not equal and don't have the same situation at home or outside school. We need to stop punishing people in ways that only drag them behind. Be it students or petty criminals. Dragging people behind is never a good way to achieve progress and our society is riddled with it. Living is a zero-sum game for many.

You nailed the problem. It's hard to compose css without resorting to what feels like a hack. @mixins and @appliers should have been part of the css years ago.

I didn't single it out to SV. But yes, I did omit a huge portion of devs. I couldn't find any patterns. A dev living in [country] will talk in threads about their [country]. Such details are obvious. But SV crowd talk about rent details of other countries or states which is a trend.
