I am a bit confused by the two.

Assets can be used in pipes, static can’t. So you best put files that need some kind of modification in assets: CSS you want to be fingerprinted and minimized, for example. static is for resources that are … static. Like images and fonts.

Maybe or maybe not. I have no idea what tutorials you’re referring to, nor what “mixing the two” means here. You can’t easily use images that you put into assets. Nor can you easily minify a CSS file that you put into static. So, it’s quite common to “mix” the two directories.

Difference between asset and static folder?

I saw some tutorials mixing the two. I think they are outdated.
