We used to build websites. Now we build pipelines, frameworks, and hydration strategies - just to publish text. This isn’t progress. It’s complexity, by design. We need to escape the JavaScript framework trap. www.jonoalderson.com/conjecture/j...

This was new to me—you can make all the text in an element selectable when clicked with one CSS property: user-select: all; From @kevinpowell.co

Have you ever tried using color contrast tools backed by the WCAG 2 contrast algorithm (probably didn’t realize) — and then wonder “WHY IN THE WORLD DOES BLACK ON MEDIUM BLUE PASS WHILE WHITE ON MEDIUM BLUE FAILS?” You aren’t the only one. Learn what’s going on: webkit.org/blog/16929/c...

Here's my talk from I/O along with the companion blog post that rounds up all of the links mentioned. It's been a very exciting year for the web, and all the new Baseline tooling we've just announced can help you understand when to adopt these new features. web.dev/blog/whats-n...

If you need to edit an SVG in @vscode.dev, the current default experience is to just show the image of the SVG rather than the code for it. This annoyed me! You can turn off this behavior if you put the following in your settings: "workbench.editorAssociations": { "*.svg": "default" }

Another pure #CSS & #SVG thing I made on @codepen.io: codepen.io/thebabydino/... Idea from codepen.io/gabrielcojea... but: ✨ no JS for scroll-triggered transitions, just a scroll-driven animations trick 🪄 ✨ no text duplication for the dynamic headline-image intersection, just a simple #SVG filter

Jotting down a few notes on the new CSS shape() function and the commands it supports. It's incredible how dense this stuff is, but it's still a lot easier to grok than working with SVG paths by hand! css-tricks.com/css-shape-co...

its amazing how chatgpt knows everything about subjects I know nothing about, but is wrong like 40% of the time in things im an expert on. not going to think about this any further

This is also why technical interviews shouldn’t be judged by whether you solve the problem or not, since that depends on whether you had experience with this particular type of problem before or not. The problem-solving approach is way more important than the result!
