The State of CSS 2026 survey (and my annual reminder that subgrid is baseline widely available) is out. Much shorter this year focusing on the most important features of 2026 — come check it out! 👩🏻‍💻

Fun experiment with layouts: what if cards didn't have to be uniform and perfectly aligned? No aspect-ratio, no object-fit, no line-clamp — just let content be & make it dynamic. Using JS to determine image orientation, CSS column span in masonry-lite layout using grid w/minmax() #codepenchallenge

Google has since patched this in the laziest way possible: by disabling AI Overview for the word "disregard." Other searches like for "ignore" treat the word like a command rather than a search term. I stopped using Google Search over 6 months ago because of AI overviews and don't miss it at all

There are some great discounts right now on courses from fantastic devs (I've happily purchased from all of them): Scott Jehl - Web Components ($10 w/code Just10): scottjehl.com/learn/webcom... Sara Soueidan - Accessibility: practical-accessibility.today Josh Comeau: www.joshwcomeau.com/courses/

don't let tech companies make their marketing and revenue aspirations part of the web platform challenge

Let's do this again! I just backed Build Awesome Pro on @kickstarter.com

Whether you like generative AI, are forced to use it at work, or don't use it at all (because you are completely unenthused about it 🙋🏻‍♀️), the State of AI survey is for you:

Getting back into coding after time off & I'm shocked by how much AI you have to opt out of. Declined twice on a new Firebase project but Gemini is all over the start screen. And VS Code added Copilot chat (even w/o subscription) into the Terminal pane — the ONE place I want pure, correct commands

Disclaimer: First time participating and I'm not familiar with everyone competing so believe me I have much respect for everyone's rad CSS skills 😅 Check out my March Mad CSS bracket picks! 🏀 madcss.com/bracket/purs...

My book, Accessibility For Everyone, is now free and online as a website. accessibilityforeveryone.site The book was first published by A Book Apart in 2017 but it holds up! It covers web accessibility for designers, developers, content folks, and really everyone who works in tech.

I became a CPACC (Certified Professional in Accessibility Core Competencies) earlier this year, and while I'm glad I took the test, there were some surprises and the steps weren't entirely smooth. I walk through my experience of the entire process to help you decide if this test is for you 👩🏻‍💻

State of HTML survey is live! The first time I took this survey I was blown away by how many new features and APIs get added to humble HTML. I love learning about completely new things, like the existence of a new image format called JPEG XL (.jxl)

Colbert once flamed us on national TV. We printed it, taped it to the glovebox, and wear it as a badge of honor.

The State of CSS 2025 survey is now open. Happy to say I have at least *heard of* the majority of features that are newer or released this year

Use the new ARIA landmark <search> for search forms and related filters - a really easy change to make these more accessible #webdev #html #frontend

If you're not familiar, the State of Devs runs annual surveys on HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, but this is the first time they're running a survey on who developers are and the challenges we face in our careers (burnout, AI, layoffs), along with hobbies and fun stuff. It's nice and short!

Finally replaced the bird icon on my portfolio site with Bluesky instead (Thanks FontAwesome for adding the logo). I met amazing people on Twitter, and am thankful for dialogue with video game and web developers I've admired, but I'm happy we're finally all moving on

My interactive electoral map is back and improved for 2024! Obsessively click along on Election Night! 🇺🇸 - Updated electoral votes based on 2020 census - Ability to save/reset the map state using browser local storage - Minor UX improvements - New brighter color scheme to reduce existential dread

What if we knew the compatibility timeline of new browser features before writing a single line of code? 👩🏻‍💻 Today we do with Baseline: #webdev

"A flashing blue light indicates the router is connected to the internet but not connected to the internet." 🤦🏻‍♀️ One day Google will bring back its web search results circa 2014 and people will proclaim it as a major upgrade

When you don't want to write a Google Maps restaurant review yourself and you're not ashamed of it:

LinkedIn "Powered by AI" is hilariously writing engineering knowledge articles like "How do you become a Flash developer" in 2024, and getting positive supportive comments from the LinkedIn community (via bots??). Too bad Flash reached end of life in 2020 and isn't supported anywhere.

Woo finally upgraded to an Xbox Series X! Let's boot up Mass Effect Legendary Edition for that last achievement I need.

First time I made a proper effort to photograph an eclipse and it was incredible, although stressful trying to chase down a place with clear visibility. I chose San Antonio where the clouds cleared JUST in time #solareclipse #solareclipse2023 #annularsolareclipse #annularsolareclipse2023

Summer Sunday Squirrel Series Houston had a few days last week where 93 degrees felt like a cold front, but then humidity came back, heat indexes rose above 100 degrees, and squirrels were again splooting under the trees #squirrelsummer #summerofsploots #houmidity #houston #squirrel #splooting

Summer Sunday Squirrel Series Houston is FINALLY back down to the 90s this whole week. The squirrels are no longer splooting as much, but there are some good photos left. #squirrelsummer #summerofsploots #houmidity #houston #squirrel #splooting

Summer Sunday Squirrel Series Summer continues to be sweltering in Houston. Today might set the record for hottest day here ever. Let's continue to appreciate these resourceful squirrels trying to find any way to cool down: #squirrelsummer #summerofsploots #houmidity #houston #squirrel #splooting

Summer Sunday Squirrel Series It's been a miserably hot summer in Houston so let's count down to fall and appreciate the poor Texas squirrels who have had to suffer through this terrible heat through no fault of their own: #squirrelsummer #summerofsploots #houmidity #houston #squirrel #Splooting

Company: "Hold your hands like so. We will digitally insert the product into your hands later." Model: "Am I holding a luxury handbag?" Company: "Uhh... Yeaaaaahhh."
