Willison has an impressive record for coining terms. But feel like he may have missed it here. In the context, 'engineering' doesn't feel that different to 'coding'. The sloppy sounding part is 'vibe' and that's not been removed.

Not that I mind, quite enjoying these articles.
It has always been my belief that a good trade deal between the UK and the EU is only possible if the UK is actually willing to go no-deal WTO first. Simply because the EU never concedes anything in good faith when it comes to negotiations.
Really? Surely this claim would require the sequencing of the T-Rex genome, which I'm guessing is an impossibility.
I consider Angular 4 the first release to produce just about acceptable sized app bundle. On the whole though it's a very ambitious project and I think it will be increasingly hard to ignore, we've currently no intention of changing framework.
The headline is a broad generalisation, and as another broad generalisation poorer people are more religious and more conservative because they have harder lives, bleaker temporal outlooks and hope for a better life 'beyond'.
There's nothing new under the sun, just the sensationalist Bremain propaganda you'd expect a few weeks before an EU referendum.
Though really, It's pretty shallow to draw like for like comparisons between religion/politics and JS discussions. JS is trivial. Most tech discussions are trivial the day after they've been had.
Whether it does such a person any favours in the employment market is another question as you can't build businesses on rare commodities.
Vanilla CSS isn't that bad. Existing preprocessors have made it much nicer to use without changing the basic formula and workings of CSS.
GSS is a fairly radical departure and as such it should offer big returns which I'm not seeing. Moreover, I don't see that it's solving a problem that needed solving in the first place.
No such thing as bad publicity?

They're all much of a muchness, at least we'll be able to just use flexbox soon enough.
If you think SVG is a craftless 'just export it' type of technology then you're not really getting it - it's xml - human readable and editable.
You get a lot more out of it if you know how to read the source, add/remove/alter the elements by hand if needs be. So plenty of valuable skills to develop, things to learn and opportuties for push yourself without resorting to yet another demonstration of how it's possible to simulate vector illustration if you apply copious amounts of divs and CSS.
SVG is a core web standard that is woefully underused considering how well it is supported. These complex 'you can do this with CSS' demos are always impressive, but they have little practical use; considering the underuse and lack of knowledge about SVG right now, it seems a little perverse to me that people keep making them.
