Who is @horse_js?

22.1.2019
Many of us follow @horse_js on Twitter. Twenty-one thousand of us, to be exact. That horse loves stirring up mischief by taking people's statements out of context. It happened to me a few times and almost got me in trouble. I wonder how many people hate CSS because their experience with...
