Just to clarify, I google a lot while coding, but one thing I learnt from my engineering degree is that is there is no 'best' solution.

"Coding" vs "programming" is such a great litmus test for whether someone actually knows what they're doing

I usually use the term coding to avoid the whole "html isn't a programming langauge" stuff.

By definition, it is a markup language, but I have seen recently that it has a few elements that kinda feel like programming.

Though you do tend to require some JS to complete the logic.


On the other hand, just because someone uses a non-programming language, does not surely make them not a programmer

html+css is turing complete. No javascript required.

It's nice to be the case.

But doing all the programming in CSS is too hard for a on-shot hobby-site maker like me.
