   @zens I'm personally a fan of minimalism with thinking, code and design. But I watch clients demand flashiness where every trivial piece of information fights for attention. And our front-end dev (design background) try to fight it, but also delight in creating the most complex code in order to make it happen (engineer side of them).

     @zens The ideal combination is some of both. But I do remember when the web started off as an almost pure tool for hosting and dessiminating information. The fact it was just engineering without design input definitely lead to many later issues.

     But once established we went through a phase where designs were done by those with only a print background and marketing demanded we make them fit into an online format, regardless of the strictures and user needs.
