Don’t Be That Guy

“Your markup validator, whether it’s the one on the W3C site or one built into your favorite coding tool, is not a measuring stick for greatness. It’s not to be used on other people’s code for the purpose of pointing out their shortcomings as a markup coder so that you can make yourself feel better than them. The fact that your code passes a validator does not make it better than the next guy’s code.”

It reminded me of pleasant sweet smelling welding fumes. That is the smell of space.”

—ISS Science Officer Don Pettit: Expedition Six Space Chronicles #4
