Let's create Phineas using CSS in few simple steps😄

THREAD🧵

STEP 1. Create a head

create a triangle and rotate it so that it looks like a head
STEP 2. Create smile and ear

We have a pseudo elements in CSS, so we can create smile and ear using head::after and head::before
STEP 3. Create eyes

This is the most trickiest part because in order to make an eye we have to create

- One bigger white circle
- then a small black pupil inside white circle
- then a small white reflection in black pupil

Let's create a outer white circle first
STEP 3(I). Create a black pupil

We can create pupil using pseudo element
STEP 3(II). Create white reflection in black pupil

Again make use of pseudo element and create small little white reflection inside pupil
STEP 4. Create moles

Well CSS art is all about creative ideas and solution. In previous step we made oval shape white reflection. We can also create moles using shadow of the white element(reflection) and align them properly
STEP 5. Create second eye

Same as step 3
STEP 6. Create hair spike

This is the easiest part in my opinions because all you need to make are just random spikes.

What I have done here is just created a border-top 20px and rotate it in order to give it a spike look.
STEP 7. Create hairs

Repeat step 6 and create multiple spikes so that they look like hairs😁
That's all😍

The Great Software Stagnation is real, but we have to understand it to fight it. The CAUSE of the TGSS is not "teh interwebs". The cause is the "direct manipulation" paradigm : the "worst idea in computer science" \1


Progress in CS comes from discovering ever more abstract and expressive languages to tell the computer to do something. But replacing "tell the computer to do something in language" with "do it yourself using these gestures" halts that progress. \2

Stagnation started in the 1970s after the first GUIs were invented. Every genre of software that gives users a "friendly" GUI interface, effectively freezes progress at that level of abstraction / expressivity. Because we can never abandon old direct manipulation metaphors \3

The 1990s were simply the point when most people in the world finally got access to a personal computer with a GUI. So that's where we see most of the ideas frozen. \4

It's no surprise that the improvements @jonathoda cites, that are still taking place are improvements in textual representation : \5
