It’s often surprising how "intuitive" or elegant solutions can seem once you peel back the layers, isn't it? That simplicity is part of the beauty of good engineering!
I actually wasn't familiar with Josh Comeau’s work before this, but I just looked him up and... wow. To be mentioned in the same breath (let alone "arguably better") is a massive compliment. I’ll definitely be diving into his archives now.
I mean Josh's site is undeniably more visually polished as a merit to him. His site is definitely more SEO optimized, by covering a technical topic generally instead of multiple topics surrounding a single problem. But the aforementioned SEO strategy is to the detriment of the enjoyability, at least for me. If I was seeking documentation, I'd be happy to see Josh's work, but for entertainment I wouldn't read that but I would read this.
I really appreciate that you found it entertaining; that was the main goal! Same here, I'll take "fun to read" over "SEO optimized" any day of the week.
