Stick & Griffepic
Hey Stick, I’ve been looking at how the Greeks engineered the Parthenon with perfect symmetry, and it struck me—doesn’t that precision feel a lot like the clean, minimal CSS you swear by? Want to compare the two?
Yeah, the Greeks used strict measurements, every column line up, just like my CSS grid. Both are all about clean lines and eliminating waste, just different tools. If you drop a rule on a page, it’s like dropping a pillar that doesn’t line up; everything shifts. So the math is the same, the language just changes.
Sounds right—exact same precision in stone and in style sheets. Just remember that a misplaced rule is like a column that’s off‑centred; the whole grid will wobble. Keep an eye on order and specificity, and everything will stay tight.
Nice comparison—precision in architecture and code are basically the same. Keep the hierarchy clean, avoid unnecessary specificity, and everything stays in place.
Indeed, the discipline of a mason’s stone and a developer’s style sheet both demand a rigorous, hierarchical order. One wrong column, one misplaced selector, and the whole structure can falter. Keep the layers clear, the rules minimal, and the symmetry intact.
Exactly. Keep it simple, keep it tidy, and the whole thing will hold.
