It never hurts to learn from one the BEST. 🌟 #css

Happening next week! Smashing Meets Design Systems. With the lovely @samiamdesigns.bsky.social @bencallahan.com and David Wieland. Hosted by our lovely @geoffgraham.me. 🕰️ Wednesday, February 11, Tickets are free! smashingconf.com/meets-design...

It’s been, like, 5 years since I really updated my site’s design, but I’ve been inspired by the recent surge in personal sites and finally shipped something new. It's buggy and a work in progress, for sure, but still feels refreshing. geoffgraham.me/its-been-lik...

@anatudor.bsky.social Fixed! Lots of custom HTML in there that needed reformatting, so let me know if you spot any other funky stuff. And thanks for the heads up!

Somehow at sometime, I stopped being a web designer. And I didn't even see it coming. geoffgraham.me/changing-rol...

A great review. Geoff and crew have done so much to keep an absolute pillar of our industry alive and flourishing. Hate the see how damaging Google “AI summaries” have been, but love to see how much is being invested in the CSS Almanac. It’s one of my favourite resources on the internet!

It's so great seeing CSS Tricks thrive again (in as much as our Search overlords deem permissible), I've enjoyed it a lot this year.

I'll be danged if looking back on the past year doesn't make me proud as heck of what's happening over at @css-tricks.bsky.social. css-tricks.com/thank-you-20...

Come and join us in February for the first Smashing Meets of 2026! We'll be talking about everything Design Systems with the lovely @bencallahan.com, @samiamdesigns.bsky.social, and @geoffgraham.me. We hope you will join us online. Tickets are free 💞 smashingconf.com/meets-design...

📝 New CSS Article! Learn how I made that responsive list of overlapping images using modern CSS. css-tricks.com/responsive-l... A perfect use case for the new sibling-index() and sibling-count() functions.

CSS Meditation #9: .1 + .2 equals 0,2,0. geoffgraham.me/css-meditati...

Just a few folks I really appreciate today: ⭐️ @dxnny.fun ⭐️ @css-only.dev ⭐️ @allthatmalarkey.bsky.social It's not just that they do amazing work — more importantly, they're genuinely great humans.

If you're not gonna bother writing it yourself, I ain't gonna bother reading it myself. geoffgraham.me/if-youre-not...

17 people in the surgical waiting room, 10 on screens. That’s a lot but honestly fewer than I expected. geoffgraham.me/17-people-in...

Paul played 35 songs over 3 hours... and I still wanted more! geoffgraham.me/got-back/

Co-signed! 💯 I want to be able to CSS like @amitsheen.bsky.social when I grow up.

Look ma, no hands! ✈️ geoffgraham.me/such-great-h...

Learning to paint with sound was a lot easier than I expected because there's so much overlap with my front-end background. I tried to articulate that here, more or less. css-tricks.com/same-idea-di...

Happy New Music Tuesday! (Yes, I wish that was still a thing.) geoffgraham.me/new-music-tu...

Exactly what I need to hear right here, right now. geoffgraham.me/remember-kur...

One step closer to something I’ve been working on very quietly. geoffgraham.me/one-step-clo...

🎵🎵🎵 "There's nowhere you can be, That isn't where you're meant to be... it's easy." geoffgraham.me/failures-and... (Thanks to @zeldman.bsky.social for the nugget to chew on.)

And guess what? We *open up* the show to your questions, which you can send in. forms.gle/nkrUPmiEGmp6... We’ve gotten some really good ones, from symptoms of imposter syndrome, to tough career moves… and even wanting to disappear off the internet. 😲

I am so excited to share this article with the world. It started as a question on Front End Study Hall in August that led me to ask, "Is it time to Un-Sass?" Credit to @sturobson.com for coining un-Sass. Term was spot on to describe what I have been thinking about. css-tricks.com/is-it-time-t...

Now loading the loader thingy that loads the uploader… geoffgraham.me/now-loading-...

Hey, @bradfrost.com and I do this little live podcast called Open Up, getting into the feelzzzz side of web dev and design. The latest episode might be my favorite yet because we tackle fear and anxiety in the current tech space head on: www.youtube.com/watch?v=55FG...

It's hard not to be totally inspired by @amitsheen.bsky.social's endless curiosity that leads to wild experiments like this.

Later today, at 8 AM PT, 5 PM CET, we're hosting our 5th episode of Open Up with Brad Frost. Today @bradfrost.com and @geoffgraham.me are joined by the wonderful Rebecca Garza-Bortman, and you can still join as well! Register your free ticket: ti.to/smashingmaga...

"I consider knowledge to be overvalued. Too many of us suffer from 'infobesity.' Too much information, not enough action. But knowledge combined with action is priceless." geoffgraham.me/self-leaders...

Be like @jim-nielsen.com and share what you learn, even if you think it's common knowledge!

The most interesting part to me is styling matched queries with ::search-text and ::search-text:current (but no :past or :future… at least for now).

It’s starting to look like a real guitar! geoffgraham.me/its-starting...

This was a helluva great discussion. I got a lot of perspective from @hidde.blog and @miriam.codes. The funny thing about roundtables with amazing people like this is that I'm always more interested in what others have to say than what I do. Feels like having a front seat to all the awesomeness!

Unvarnished thought: Access to the latest information has traditionally been a luxury affordance, but perhaps that’s moving toward slower, more intentional information. geoffgraham.me/unvarnished-...

Andy really knows how to breathe new life into well-established patterns.

"The enthusiasm, the spirit, the soul, whatever you want to call it, where's the microphone for that?" geoffgraham.me/fighting-tec...

It won't always be this bad, I'm sure, but the shortcomings of coding LLMs and the effort it takes to hold them accountable to quality make the mad rush to force it on developers a head-scratcher to me. geoffgraham.me/artificial-s...

I still get that powerful feeling that anything is possible when I open a web browser — it’s not as strong as it was 20 years ago, but it’s still there.

Spent a little time re-visiting my first stab at recording. Boy oh boy, there are so many possibilities with arranging and performing sound. geoffgraham.me/california-t...

I just peeked at the list of questions and there's a really good one in there I can't wait to unpack!

I love how @sunkanmifafowora.bsky.social looks not at just a few key numbers, but reflects on what those numbers mean for him personally as well as his work habits. The numbers are a signal to help us be better.

I was 155,655th in the queue but I somehow squeaked by! geoffgraham.me/i-was-155655...

Just a few people I really appreciate today. - @zellwk.bsky.social - @monknow.bsky.social - @amitsheen.bsky.social - @meiert.com Such intelligent, thoughtful, and wonderfully pleasant folks, personally and professionally.

I'd love it if all the posts in my feed are pretty much "hey, look how easy it is to do this thing I did X years go with new CSS." Posts like this keep me stoked about CSS.

I was laid-off and am looking for a new role. Working were design meets code is my jam. I am skilled at building accessible design system components, working with Web Components APIs, and creating scalable CSS architecture. I work remotely from my home in Manitoba, Canada. 🇨🇦 Shares appreciated!

I'd be remiss if I didn't say that @monknow.bsky.social put A LOT of effort into editing the CSS Color Functions Guide we published yesterday. And this post is an excellent roundup of things he learned along the way... things that I think confuse a lot of us. I appreciate having this.

It's heeeeeeeere! 🔥 css-tricks.com/css-color-fu...

Any time that someone like Eric with the deep experience, empathy, and understanding of a topic as complex as ARIA drops this kind of knowledge, my ears perk right up. An article like this doesn't happen by chance, but is lived!

Oh my, how nice to see an email that Starbucks is finally getting into the CSS field, finally. geoffgraham.me/oh-my-how-ni...
