I was surprised to learn that Robert Pattinson played Batman.

Which actor comes to your mind first when you hear “Batman”? For me it's Christian Bale. Before him probably George Clooney...lol just kidding. Michael Keaton, I guess.

Just a quick reminder that there's a scripting media feature.

@media (scripting: enabled) {  
 /* js is enabled */  
}

@media (scripting: none) {  
 /* js isn't enabled */  
}

Hmmm...should I go to bed at 10pm as always and wake up "refreshed" or should I go to an underground HipHop EP release party and hate myself tomorrow for doing it?

Netlify wanted to charge me $55 again (they didn't) for HTMHell. They told me that I'm using up more than 100GB of bandwidth, mostly because of the RSS feed (70GB). The file is 2.7MB uncompressed.
Is that possible? Am I doing something wrong or incredibly right? :D

1. Download font from Google Fonts. Original size: 154KB
2. Subset font. New size: 21KB
3. Convert to woff2: New size: 10KB

With 3 styles, optimizing fonts saves me ~420KB 🫠

CSSDay was so incredibly amazing last year that it's killing me that I can't attend this year.

✏️ New post: "Old Dogs, new CSS Tricks"

Lots of new features have shipped in the last few years, but real-world usage is still low. What are the things holding us back, and how can we break out of our old habits to learn new ways of writing CSS?

I've decided to update my monthly contributions to @eleventy, now supporting them with $50 instead of $5 monthly. ❤️

If you can, support them, too! They need your help.

I made a little website for my book. Before I publish it, is there any feedback you have? Does it answer all your questions? Are there bugs? Is anything missing? Thank you! ❤️

Assuming the premise that us CSS developers aren't reaching for container queries as much as well all thought we would is true...

Why do you think that is?

All my old slides contain dead links to my old Twitter account. To avoid that in the future I got myself a dedicated domain that points to whichever social media I'm using primarily at the moment.

I just used float: left; on an image and the following section looked funky. I realised that I had to use clear. For some reason, I immediately felt dirty. 😁

I know it's a privileged thing to say but web dev isn't fun for me at the moment. I'm annoyed and bored. I guess it's because after every high (interop) comes a low, and most importantly I'm just really annoyed by how terrible the condition of most websites is. Not just in terms of accessibility. Ed Zitron's “Better Offline” summarises well what I mean. (https://www.betteroffline.com/).

Also AI is claiming it's share of annoying me.

I don't know. Maybe I'm just tired.

As developers, we deal with practical challenges every day. Often, we’re so focused on the technical part of development that we forget the real purpose of our jobs. It’s not solving technical issues; it’s building products for human beings. What we do is very technical at its core, but the consequences of our decisions are very human: they strongly affect people’s lives, their access to information, and their participation in society.

“13.3% of home pages had a "skip" link present, down from 17.2% in 2023. One out of every 10 "skip" links were broken”.

That's a massive drop. Interesting!

There are two conferences in the UK I had to cancel again this year, which is fine because family comes first, but I really hope that it's going to work out next year. There are so many people I'd love to meet in person (again). ☺️
