    Hi All,

    I’ve been wondering…While I do know a bit of plain vanilla HTML/CSS, I do not know some of the latest commands and cannot handcode vendor prefixes. But when I use the emmet plugin, Sass or less, I kick ass.

    Does this make me any less of a developer?

    If you understand what Emmet, SASS & LESS kick out at the end…then no.

    If you don’t then I would say yes. As a ‘developer’ you should understand what your code is for and doing.

    BTW….a designer and a developer are not the same thing. You can be one or the other or both,

    @arachattack That’s a crucial part of being a developer.
