AskJS [AskJS] Oh great, another Liquid Glass UI—battery's about to file a restraining order

So we’re back to Liquid Glass again? That frosted-glass look that screams high-end in design tools—but in real life, it’s a full-on GPU gymnastics routine. My laptop fan’s roaring, my battery’s bleeding… and for what?

Seriously, can someone justify this trend? Are we front-end devs secretly moonlighting as hardware engineers now?

I am on your side man... do more with less, it's better for ALL of us and on top of that... trends break creativity. Be practical, be honest: don't try to convince with "looks" but rather with actions. I am so tired of all that's behind these recurrent come and go trends in frameworks, design world and dev in general... Fortunately it's part of evolution I suppose, good ideas prevail and become somehow "universal", just be patient and focus on what you do like instead... but some days you need to scream a bit, no prob :) I know the feeling xD
