I had the privilege of taking one of Strang's classes a few years back. He is still incredibly sharp, and has a great sense of wit.
During one lecture, he was half way through solving a problem on the board when he jumped straight to the final answer. He then turned to us, and with a deadpan delivery said:
"We haven’t proved it, but that’s okay, we only live so long."
And then he moved on to the next problem.
I've quoted that line a lot since then.

Handwritten HTML and CSS (no JS required). I've been working on my personal site in fits and starts since 2013, so it's by far the longest thing I've ever worked on.
I'm pretty happy with it (but would love feedback & suggestions!)

Rule of thumb: don't take advice from people who can't explain why they suggest you comment code out.
As the OP here, I could not agree more.

We should really expect better from someone who's about page says they are an interface designer, though.
We should expect better, and you deserve better! Luckily, the issue has been fixed :)

Just fyi in dark mode on this site, the code snippets are almost unreadable
Thanks for the heads up. I blame our site's Chief CSS Officer (me). It has been fixed!
