Yep, it's weird and controversial. That's why I wrote a book explaining it and used a pseudonym.
Now: ~60% of devs know some CSS, rest feel guilty
YSAC's pitch: ~10% of devs know lots of CSS, rest avoid it without guilt (they suck and that's okay)
I guess 0% would mean a dead CSS, so it's closer to dead, sure.
If you get a more powerful saw, you can either cut down more trees or you can spend less time cutting down trees. CSS is a more powerful saw now. I'm suggesting spending less time cutting down trees instead of cutting down more trees.
Learning how to properly use a chainsaw is of use to more than just those in the logging and treecare industries. Nobody is going to call me to remove that tree that's endangering a historic building or to cutdown a few hundred acres of raw toilet paper, but I still need to understand how and when to sharpen the chain if I'm going to be cutting down trees on my own land for use as firewood.
I think you would have had significantly less blowback if you approached the subject from a positive angle. I know you were probably attempting to be humorous, but it just comes off as something wrong.
That sort of humor is best left for the experts...
