I know Kit through a friend. Played magic the gathering with him once. No difference between his persona and personality, one of those people made for the job. Absolutely great guy, too, nice wife and kids.

He also started off as a Web Dev. The fake banking websites are all his own work. Really clever stuff, ironically using phishing tactics to catch phishers.

Really, never would have thought he was a programmer.

Web Dev sometimes isn't. Sometimes it is CSS and HTML and art/design specialty. I don't say that to be a gatekeeper, I think CSS expertise is harder! heh

CSS is harder indeed.

I'd rather do assembler than CSS.

You only say that because you have spent more time in assembler (I presume). I've spent enough time doing CSS that I find it to be pretty easy.

In the 2000s CSS used to be more messy, now it's all standardized across browsers, no ? Seems much easier

I have about equal time doing both. Still rather do assembler. Assembler is outstandingly deterministic. CSS feels like I'm fighting Microsoft Word.

That's a bit overblown, you are comparing a diarrhea to a tornado dismantling your house.

Assembler doesn't have margin collapse.

I've done more things in asm than CSS, but I've spent far more time doing CSS.

In assembly, any complexity is 'your fault' since the language is so simple.

CSS is often a lot of tedious trial and error, even if it has improved.

Assembler does what you tell it. CSS is like trying to build a pile of angry turtles.

This is a very apt description of dealing with CSS. And each time a new feature launches your job is to stack the turtles one level higher.

Mostly UI, but he can write some decent JS.
