What we need is more tools where you can get garbage out even if you don't put garbage in. Shake things up a bit.

My take on `box-sizing: border-box` www.reddit.com/r/css/commen... TL;DR unlearn adding it to the reset, as well as setting dimensions (width/ height) explicitly. 👋 to @kevinpowell.co for giving me a video to link to 😀 👋 to @miriam.codes for the cool article on `body` margin to reference 😎 #CSS

Every layoff press release contains these points: - we're firing a bunch of staff - so that we can go faster - and have higher quality - using new tools that are kinda shit and it keeps making stonks go up so I guess those are still the magic words! Joke economy.

I reject austerity. There's enough for all of us. I reject the "commonsense" scarcity bullshit espoused sometimes even by people who call themselves Leftists. There's enough for every single person to live in dignity.

At this point, we should be designing/engineering with the lowest amount of tech or code possible to meet a goal. Instead, it feels like we are forcing the highest tech solutions into problems that do not require them. It's frankly embarrassing. Sometimes the right solution is the low tech one.

We won't police ourselves into some respectable perfection that's somehow gonna bring down fascism. That's a fantasy.

Burn it to the ground.

nuance is good actually. I want nuance injected in my veins. embrace complexity and caveats. just say maybe.

Every time I see someone talk about Claude I think about how they switched from female to male names as soon as they wanted the robots to seem like experts vs personal assistants.

We fucking warned y’all that this was the goddamned end goal for those smart glasses.

We can spend all day discussing the Palantir / Alex Karp Manifesto but at this point it should be obvious that the most powerful tech influencers are dangerous, for the entire world and we need to actually do something to stop this.

I appreciate that some of you want to have nuanced conversations about companies that are actively murdering children and seeking out Armageddon.

The desire for a semblance of control. Fucking obviously.

The job of a developer is to constantly scramble for new solutions to entirely avoidable problems that someone has decided "increase efficiency"

Sometimes I'm tracking down a questions in the CSS spec, and I land on containing blocks, with my favorite line of spec poetry: "Notably, a containing block is not a box (it is a rectangle)" Yes. That's the sort of distinction I'm here for. drafts.csswg.org/css-display-...

This should be illegal.

Enjoyed chatting with PodRocket yesterday about #CSS and #Sass, and how *understanding* the language isn't required to make the background pink – but it will dramatically improve your organizing & debugging. (And the best approach is usually to do less!)

we don't talk enough about how cool the color-interpolation-method is in CSS gradients all of these slices have the same gradient: linear-gradient(#00ffff 0%, #ff00ff 100%) each one is just using a different colour interpolation

NAMING HELP NEEDED: Looking for single words, to be used in CSS property names, that distinguish between gap decoration ends that form intersections vs. those that don't. Best idea I've come across so far is "intersecting" and "dangling". Do you have other suggestions?

It would be really funny if someone did suddenly (this is sci fi) make a sentient machine, but not using any technology even remotely like current LLMs, and then they don't know what to call it because – I'm told it's too late now – "AI" already means this thing where we predict plausible text.

Take note, car freaks, here's one simple trick to cutting your traffic by 18%

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

The fun in working on long-requested features like cqs or scope, is that there's no way to live up to the theoretical brilliance of CSS that will solve everything. Especially when everyone imagines something slightly different. These features aren't revolutionary. They're merely useful.

The best photo spot in our house requires a step stool, but I think the results are pretty good.

Actually we should just give citizenship to every undocumented person in the United States who wants it. Walking over an imaginary line isn't some great moral atrocity. Making people live in the shadows as a permanent underclass absolutely IS.

My slide-deck url-screenshot feature (using the @11ty.dev api) no longer works on w3c sites, because LLMs have to ruin everything with their extraction.

CSS or BS? I got 59/80. (I'm not sure how that scoring works out of 20 rounds, but it was fun) www.keithcirkel.co.uk/css-or-bs/?r... #CSSorBS

This looks so good I'm mad at @kevinpowell.co about it. How are the rest of us meant to compete? Can't you give us a break? If you want to understand/enjoy CSS, I bet this course will get you there.
