After all these years, I've only just realised that the illustration for @beep's seminal Responsive Design article is itself responsive. 🤦

@Richr @beep I knew about this easter egg, but I think only after Ethan showed it in a talk.

@yatil @Richr @beep

I always found it kind of funny working with devs who got obsessed with perfecting the breakpoints for responsive transitions, sitting there repeatedly resizing browser windows on their machines to get it just right.

This thread, about this lovely and effective implementation, kinda reminds me of that for some reason

@Richr Oh hey, well, don’t feel bad — the responsive version got added *several* years after the fact!

@Richr @beep It doesn't say (or I couldn't find it) but is that Kevin Cornell's work?

@Richr @beep Noooooo! How is it possible? I love the article and the brilliant Sherlock Holmes RWD example page. I have revisited the article quite a few times during the years. Yet... I haven't noticed the Illustration in the article itself? :-)

@Richr @beep sorry, I can't get over the fact that in the most narrow layout the photographer should be crouching down angling the camera upwards, or half the team wouldn't be in the frame.

@Richr @beep I'm *still* mad we called it "responsive" :ablobcatwave: and I'll never get over it.

@infrathin @Richr @beep I think it’s more important that it was called *something*
