"Oh it's out of alignment again? Just add a few more spacer.gifs in that table cell. This design was so great until we let people edit the content."

Spacer components described in the article and 90s spacer elements are not the same thing.

Here's the example linked by the article: https://seek-oss.github.io/braid-design-system/components/St...

Let's use <br> for vertical separation, just like the good old days!

Let's code all the apparence in the class attribute (instead of the style).

We do, its called tailwindcss lol (and its amazing)

Yes that was the joke (and I'm not a fan of it).

You didn't get the memo? We moved the style attribute inside the class attribute now

Dear God

That's so sarcastic, when you use proper <table>,<tr>,<td> in your html, you don't need <br> ⸮

The article is not arguing for that...
