The satire doesn't come across very strong and makes the author look uninformed. CSS has its ups and downs but the problems faced in the article have been known and solved for years in production environments across the web. The article is basically misleading with no answer for those unaware.

Sorry if this feels harsh but reading through was fairly unpleasant.

The satire was fantastic, I loved it. I think humour is very subjective.

Thanks for the feedback. I basically feel like if someone can get through number 6 without smelling the satire, perhaps they're not paying attention.

I'm not sure if you read the entire article, but if not, I'd highly recommend persevering. The first few points seem completely and worryingly serious, but by the end it's absolutely blatant.

I knew it was not intended as serious before point 1. The technical stuff /code was so general and lacking specifics that it was very clear.
