Hi all! 👋 I was laid off and am looking for my next senior front end developer role. I have 19+ years of experience working with small agencies and Fortune 500 companies and focus on writing clean, accessible HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Resume: aubreysambor.com/resume/ Leads/reposts appreciated!

The Open Web was built on a fair exchange: content in return for visitors. AI broke that deal. We need new systems to support creators, not leave them behind. My thoughts on the forward: dri.es/the-webs-bro... /cc @cloudflare.social #openweb #ai

How's your day going?

Custom Properties compute before they inherit ... and by registering a custom property with a certain syntax, CSS knows what to compute it to ... which allows this:

wooahh Figma's new Sites thing produces no semantic HTML at all. Every single element is a div. Incredibly inaccessible Example: plugin-value-scrum.figma.site

#CSS Is it possible for CQW units to be based off of a named container? I have 2 ancestor query containers (set to `container-type: inline`) The top level container has `container-name: top` I want a deeply nested element's CQW units to be based on the `container-name: top` container. Possible?

When developing websites for RTL languages like #hebrew and #arabic, should I flip right-facing (forward facing) arrows, and play buttons? #webdev
