i absolutely hate how the modern web just fails to load if one has javascript turned off. i, as a user, should be able to switch off javascript and have the site work exactly as it does with javascript turned on. it’s not a hard concept, people.
but you ask candidates to explain “graceful degradation” and they’ll sit and look at you with a blank stare.
I hate “light mode” so much
Don’t default to it as it makes the page as blinding as the mid-day sun. If you want make it optional that is fine but don’t force it.
I hate default text size
Don’t default to it as it’s too small for a lot of people to read. Optional is fine, but don’t force that small text on me by default, making me go into your small text settings to find the large text setting
