I remember when I wanted to be a big, famous web developer, a few years ago. I had exactly one technique. I called it “Knowing CSS.” I guess it never really caught on.

via nostrich, in a small rant about those 5 million CSS techniques lists. he raises a valid point- that we will spawn a new generation of designers who aren’t soaking up the concepts- just the flourish. like those people who make flaming, embossed and beveled letters after reading a few (poorly chosen) photoshop tutorials.

techniques should be mentally deconstructed so that the information is absorbed in the most complete way possible, and ready to be applied in new and creative ways in the future.
