Zombie HTML Spacing
The Zombie: Using <br> or &nbsp; for spacing (instead of CSS) Always a Zombie? Pretty Much Severity: Medium to Low, while it can make your site look terrible, the content is accessible and available. Why is it a Zombie: Particularly with so many different screen sizes, it’s unlikely that many, if any, users will look at the website at the exact width you’re using when you build the site.

Daisy Chaining Your Post-Apocalyptic Weapons
JavaScript processes functions, and so on, from the left, so you can daisy chain functions together like: document.getElementById("list").appendChild( listOfHumanRefuges ); JavaScript will take the document object and run the getElementById on it. When getElementById returns an element, it'll then run appendChild on that element. If this is still confusing or makes less sense to you, there's no need to worry about it. Structure your code whatever way makes sense to you and whatever way will make sense to whomever looks at it later (including future you)

CamelCasing Zombie CSS (in JavaScript)
About the only major CSS property that doesn't follow the exact property name (e.g. color) or camelCase for hyphenated properties (e.g. backgroundColor) is float, because float is a reserved word in JavaScript. The CSS float property in JavaScript is cssFloat: #zombie { float: left; } zombie.style.cssFloat = "left"; In JavaScript, float stands for floating-point numbers, more commonly known as decimals, or any number that includes a decimal point.

Switching things around on-screen (rows vs columns, etc.) will not change the order in the source code; thus, screen readers and search engines will read things in the code order. If the order of items affects how someone might understand the content, it’s best to change the source code/content, not just the visual display.

Transforming Transformed Undead
If you separate them with a space, you can do multiple transform functions at a time (e.g., a translation and a rotation). The order you put them in is very important, as the next transform function will take the result of the previous transform as its input. This means that if you translate and then rotate, you’ll have moved the element over, and then rotated it.

Job Title:Â Software Engineer Place of Work:Â Â ROLLER software, which is used to manage attraction venues. Industry or specialization: I tend to choose family-friendly problem domains, like an afterschool care provider in the past, or now ROLLER which is software for running attraction venues. These are easy for me to get excited about, since my two kids are part of the purpose of my life.

CSS grid brought us the fr unit. 1fr or one fraction of the space is kind of like setting it to auto. However with fr units you can set multiple column widths and do more complex ratios e.g. grid-column-template: 1fr 3fr 1fr 2fr which would split up the area into four columns with the first and third being the same size, the fourth being twice the width of the first and third, and the second column being three times the width of the first and third.Â

Only Zombies Disregard Copyright Laws
Whenever you use images, be sure to follow their license. While it is common for people to Google an idea and grab images from that search to use on your site, except in very rare cases, that violates copyright law and you can be sued or required to pay retroactively for use of those images. While that’s less likely to happen for a social media post or something ephemeral you post just for yourself (unless you have a lot of followers or deep pockets) it is pretty likely to happen if you build a site for a business or post something for a business and use unlicensed and copyrighted images, because a business typically has deeper pockets than an individual and a lawsuit may be more worthwhile.

Excoriating Zombies
I was once excoriated on a public listserv of my peers and colleagues, a listserv I started. It was awesome in every opposite sense of that word. While the person probably went too far in a professional setting, many of her points were accurate, and I might have dismissed them if they weren’t delivered in such a caustic manner. Much as I hate to say it, because of her feedback, the work was better.
