This post may or may not be crystal clear. Of later reset critiques a Google+ post probably sums it up best. If you’re looking to learn when a website uses a reset, check out the Reset Style Sheet Highlighter Chrome extension.

Development of a website: default styling, custom styling, that’s it. Unless you take the “no styling” detour via reset style sheets.
Drive home right away or make a stop at the corner store.

Happy holidays.

About Me

Portrait sketch of Jens Oliver Meiert.

I’m Jens (long: Jens Oliver Meiert), and I’m an engineering lead, guerrilla philosopher, and indie publisher. I’ve worked as a technical lead and manager at various companies (e.g., Google); I’m an active web and tool developer (code optimization, digital defense), a contributor to web standards (like HTML, CSS, WCAG), and a book author (O’Reilly, dxsrc). You’ll like my work if you value principled, pragmatic problem-solving. Let’s connect.
