I often find myself stumped with the “what do you do” question. I’m wondering if people imagine it as a groundbreaking, Matrix-like work. Changing the world, sending people to Mars.

Most of the time? A good few hours knee-deep in a UTC fight with a JS Date. Just so I compare two of those. Or why an image is mysteriously shifted by a few stubborn pixels. It’s always !important

But there’s a weird beauty in it. This chaos demands creativity - nothing’s ever as simple as it seems. It’s challenging, unpredictable, and oddly fun. I choose to cherrish it.

Not sure what quirks-mode means? You lucky lad, I almost hate you!

Back in the days, HTML standards were more of a guidelines and each browser had its own interpretation on how the web worked. Chaos reigned. Developers cried.

Enter quirks-mode! It’s like the web’s version of a secret handshake for outdated code. It allowed browsers to render older pages with all their glorious, quirky inconsistencies from the pre-standards era, making sure those sites didn’t crumble while the rest of the web moved on.

It’s like keeping a dusty old cassette player around to play those classic mixtapes. Sure, the sound quality isn’t great, but at least the tunes still play!
