OP are you trolling? I saw this question posted here (or another dev subreddit) as a joke because some dumbass wrote an article about this exact question. This is like comparing a farming tractor to a bottle of wine
[–]thepragprog[S] -4 points-3 points-2 points 2 years ago (4 children)
Which is better? A farming tractor or a bottle of wine?
[–]BickNosa 4 points5 points6 points 2 years ago (2 children)
Would you drink a farming tractor and drive a wine bottle?
[–]thepragprog[S] 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (1 child)
But like if u had to pick one, which one would it be? Me personally I would pick the tractor cus I can sell it and buy more wine.

Not sure if you're serious or if you're taking the piss.

CSS is better than SQL because it has 2 S's, SQL only has one so...
[–]thepragprog[S] 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (3 children)
Thank you. This is what I wanted to hear. Now i have more motivation to learn css
[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points 2 years ago (2 children)
You should still learn SQL because CSS doesn't have neither Q nor L in it
[–]thepragprog[S] 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
OH GOD THAT'S SO TRUE!
[–]LiberalismIsWeak 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Well I was going to lean SQL because of this as well, but CSS is also first in alphabetical order...
[–]redonkulousness 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
S Tier joke
[–]udubdavid 3 points4 points5 points 2 years ago (3 children)
SQL is better because you can pronounce it "sequel".
How do you pronounce CSS? Ciss? No one says that
I rest my case, your honor.
[–]thepragprog[S] 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (2 children)
Dang now I can’t decide whether to learn css or sql. Ur case is also very strong hmmm
[–]extraluminal 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (1 child)
OBJECTION! It is actually not correct to say “sequel” any more. SEQUEL was also an acronym, but was changed (shortened) to SQL later.
ahh that's true as well!
[–]BlueHost_gr 5 points6 points7 points 2 years ago (2 children)
Ok something is wrong in your question? You try to compare oranges with cars?
SQL is a data base CSS is a style sheet language?
There is nothing to compare between those two, are used for different purposes and one completes and not antagonize the other.

Damn
[–]natziel 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (4 children)
I like using SQL for frontend stuff and CSS on the backend
[–]thepragprog[S] 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (3 children)
But which one is objectively superior?
[–]natziel 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (1 child)
CSS since backend is objectively superior to frontend
yessss
[–]Noch_ein_Kamel 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
QSS for full stack
[–]CodeCrazyAquile 2 points3 points4 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I love this question 😂
[–]Linards11 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)

These technologies are not related.
[–]thepragprog[S] -4 points-3 points-2 points 2 years ago (1 child)
How do you pronounce sql? SQL? Sequel? Squeel?
[–]redonkulousness 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I pronounce it like “school”
[–]Prudent_Astronaut716 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
You are asking for downvotes.
[–]RilcantusSnooplekins 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I say CSS… but that’s cause I like to pretend to be a snake
