Do you have ideas about what kind of default lint rules a css linter should check by default? I'd love to hear ideas in github.com/csskit/csski....

Made chicken rice for lunch. Turned out great. However, afterwards I decided to add some chilli crisp. Do I get pulled in front of a rice abuse tribunal?

Do you want a dynamic, responsive navigation? What if you want zero config, no DOM manipulation, no attributes popping up? Well, slot assignment, popovers, and anchor positioning, you can get it done. Okay, that's a lot. But, doable. #CSS #webcomponents #customelements codepen.io/dutchcelt/fu...

The inaugural edition of The CSS Selection is out! Super interesting look into how the top 100k sites use CSS. I very happily sponsored Barts work on this, go check it out!

My contract is ending at the end of February and so I’d like to find a new role ASAP. I am a senior-level design systems developer / design technologist / front-of-the-frontend developer that specializes in web accessibility. I work remotely from my home in Winnipeg, Canada. 🇨🇦 Shares appreciated!

Firefox 147 rolled out some cool stuff. This has to be my fav. Hey, Safari, hot potato!

Understanding the fundamentals of CSS layout When devs say that CSS is hard, they're usually talking about CSS layout. What often gets omitted is that developers are assumed to understand and effectively use CSS without being taught how it works in the first place. polypane.app/blog/underst...

Pretty much any codebase that I've worked on that uses CSS Modules (not to be confused with the web platform feature, CSS module scripts) will typically create a class for each element being styled, then import that class name, and apply it to the element being styled.

If you are reducing your IT costs through deskilling front-end you should put a Design System on the top of your shopping list. Deskilling doesn't mean you can do without front-end, it means being more effective and efficient by hiring the people you need and get the most out of that investment.

pfft. jetlag is kicking in.

Here are a bunch - it's out of date, I need to fix it up so it keeps building regularly again: rs.sjoy.lol

I don’t really watch movies anymore. Even from streaming services. Maybe one or two a year. However, I recently went to see the Danish movie The Last Viking at our local art house cinema. That was fun. The future of cinema may be only in this niche market.

This helped me solve countless bugs.

They say AI will replace the web as we know it, and this time they mean it. Here follows a short list of previous times they also meant it, starting way back in 1997.

Type-X is back! Easily test your fonts on *any* website with this Chrome extension. This was originally published about 5 years ago, but stopped working due to browser evolution. Now it's fixed, updated and ready to go! github.com/arrowtype/ty...

Probably the best thing I’ve ever read about tech recruitment, and happens to be only incidentally about AI (because it’s a data problem) interviewing.io/blog/why-ai-...

I'm excited to announce #AI integration for the #WebComponents Language Server! If you are using a @vscode.dev fork like @cursor.com.web.brid.gy or @windsurfai.bsky.social, the extension provides a local, configurable #MCP server. #html #css #javascript wc-toolkit.com/integrations...

Please stop setting `width: 100vw` on the `body`. It's unnecessary. By default, the `body` stretches horizontally as much as necessary. It's problematic. Setting `width: 100vw` on it can cause overflow even if you remove the default `margin`... because the page may have a scrollbar. #CSS

Had a blast over on the Whiskey Web and Whatnot podcast along with @nerdy.dev and @robbiethewagner.dev. We talked about whether CSS is a programming language, touched on Tailwind, and questioned why AI is still pretty bad at CSS, and nerded out about CSS in general 😊 whiskey.fm/is-css-a-pro...

Never hook your (smart) TV up to the Internet. In fact if its functional without the Internet try living without it for a bit.

Done with work for today.

a very thought provoking article on why we perhaps shouldn't default to or inherit box-sizing: border-box; from @miriam.codes www.oddbird.net/2025/09/04/b...

Composition with the Shadow DOM is more powerful than you think. You can do a lot with the default named slot assignment, but manual slot assignment is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be… unnatural.</emperor-palpatine>

It seems obvious and a little sad that health tracking apps are more about tracking you (for profit) than helping you get healthier.

K-foodie Meets J-foodie. I'm loving this, which is making me miss Japan and want to visit Korea!

I am very excited to announce the alpha release of the #WebComponents Language Server!!!

Hmmm. The reality of tracking calories versus me winging it is rather sobering ... no snacks today.

I'm Gen X, well, whatever. It's not that we don't care about the world around us, but big changes and disruptions are part of the deal. Life is hard, and we quickly figured out we'd better get used to it. Whatever. www.businessinsider.com/gen-x-forgot...

Finally pulled the trigger on getting back into Headphone hi-fi gear. And before this tarrif nonsense with the US kicks in. #hifi #audiophile #headphones

anytime you make a post about how people should stop using Spotify because it fucking sucks, someone pops in from from the Discover feed about how there's no alternative and ignores that you can just buy music or use another streaming service that isn't doing this shit. Anyway, stop using Spotify

Thinking my amp wasn't sounding great lately. Just noticed that Dirac had been switched off (maybe with an update?) Switched it back on, and it's nice and crisp again. #audiophile #hifi

I've been exploring different ways to interact with a user preferred font size. Could the max() function work better than a classic px-to-em conversion? Along the way: How Best Practice ruined text-only zoom! 😬 Still thinking about units & type in #CSS … www.oddbird.net/2025/07/22/s...

And here's an interesting post from an actual engineer (at a bank no less) integrating AI into his production systems, versus "vibe guy" below, who phoned it in and is staring at a now-empty prod DB. Utkarsh's insights & lessons learned are worth a read if you're seriously considering agentic AI.
