<p>Yesterday, I was investigating a CSS issue.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>It's a known issue due to some legacy code in the website's CSS that I'd fixed before but now needed to extend.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Instead of blindly following the same path and extending my previous fix, I decided to rethink the problem and my approach.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I re-read my documentation and re-reviewed potential solutions I'd evaluated previously.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I decided to take a different approach to solving the problem and found an open-source plugin that someone else had written that gave me the functionality I needed instead of writing it from scratch.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I read the code and did a short spike to see if it worked with the existing configuration.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>After some experimentation, I got it to work and added it to the project.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="here%27s-the-thing">Here's the Thing</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The plugin I used was only 34 lines of code, but these are lines I didn't need to write or will need to maintain.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If it works, why would I write it myself?</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I'd rather use what someone else has written and contribute if I find a bug or need a new feature.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>That's the benefit of open-source software, and why I use Drupal, PHP, Sculpin, Tailwind CSS, Nix, and others.</p>
