I always attempt to die on the links should be links hill. So far the only times I didn’t get my way was when the thing was in fact semantically a button, it just happened to use navigation to achieve its aim. Usually in these cases the markup is too complex to shove into a link anyway.

Happy to report that our production site has more links that look like buttons than it does buttons that act like links. It’s almost a meme on my team that Swiz will get you if you use onClick for navigation.

The other hill I enjoy defending is that we should use more browser built-in components instead of trying to design our own.
