Read for the very first time today about the `safe` keyword in CSS (thanks to @css-only.dev) and am now concerned as to whether I know front-end at all

css-only.dev•4 days ago

No one really know front-end. We all pretend, and people believe us 😅

oliverturner.cloud•4 days ago

So true 😂

I don't even pretend, I say it straight I'm clueless.

I got 15. the best one was the horizontal scrollbars. at my work we've recently been brainstorming the width and overflow valued of , ,

and

s to implement the needed design (it has sliders and full-width sections...) while avoiding any horizontal scrolling

mantevian.xyz•3 days ago

so many of these problems are because not all browsers have adopted overlay scrollbars as the default!

kevinpowell.co•3 days ago

I don't think overlays should be the default anywhere, but I might be in the minority there :)

very curious as to why's that! accessibility concerns I'm guessing? due to it being much less visible

I just don't like them 😆

"Your Score: 13

You probably dabble a bit in web development. You know your stuff, you just haven't seen all the horrible things about the web ecosystem yet."

I say it's somewhat accurate

Interesting website design. I noticed in their About page that they have contributed to standards for web maps. I didn't even know there was a standard being proposed for web maps! Neat idea, I wonder if this will ever get traction.

My colleagues next to me wonder why I am giggling alone like an idiot

"Tried to explain a coding problem to someone else and solved it mid-sentence."

SO many times, talking out problems should be far higher on my troubleshooting list than it is.

The rubber duck debugging (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging) method is alive and well! My rubber duck is a cat in a shark costume... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I feel like being able to find solutions to problems on your own blog is one of the big reasons to have one in the first place. Notes to future self, which are also sometimes useful for others. Highly recommend👍👍

Got 14, not sure if the subtext of it is a warning, a plea for help or a curse though...

But kinda have done the last thing :)
One foot still in web dev, other in “quiet life” :)
