I enjoy this movie a lot, and thought I knew most of the fun tidbits - when Reed points out that the soundtrack was designed as a counterpoint to the action on the screen:
> For example, in the cat scene, I asked Karas to play a few sort of walking notes while the cat crossed the street and then, as it looked at Harry’s shoe, ascending chords, which break into “The Third Man Theme” when it finally sees Harry and we hold on the cat’s little face.
It really intrigued me, makes me want to rewatch the movie to listen for things like that!
I lightly chuckled. I chuckled more when there were two typos in as many sentences; "Goole Chrome browsers" and "said that the extension with "help expose"".
Yea, I agree the coloring they present in what I linked is quite... ugly. But what I was trying to get at is that it does seem that, at that point, the Greeks could distinguish between the color of wine and the color blue. And that therefore Homer's "wine-dark" is in reference to something other than color.
(I had seen that video before, it's very enlightening.)
If you compare the web with how one makes a desktop application, laying out objects on the display and deciding what gets colored and whatnot would be considered coding - it's just that the web has abstracted away these portions into static files.
I feel that the root of my frustration with HTML/CSS is that it enforces a specific design pattern (that of boxes and inheritance) that is so bulky and unintuitive.
But I do agree with previous commenters that it seems like splitting hairs to declare web stuff not "coding". In practice, you would very much like a "coder" (someone with a CS background/education) to be handling your HTML/CSS, then have a lay person doing that work.
