When somebody complains about how CSS doesn't scale or isn't maintainable or some similar nonsense, what they actually mean 90% of the time is: they didn't plan well and didn't execute well but they'd rather blame the language for that.

Front-end folks, does anyone know how I can get the CSS details like this?

Is this a specific tool or browser, I tried in Chrome but didn't reach to that.

I spend my workday in a codebase that only allows Tailwind classes. No custom CSS. Nowhere even to write it. If it doesn't fit in Tailwind, it doesn't get shipped.

Last night I was working on a personal project for the first time in a few months, and needed to style something.

It's a SvelteKit project (naturally), and for just a split second, I forgot what to do.

When I remembered I can just put CSS in a style tag—just write CSS!—I literally almost cried with joy.

Every time Apple announces a feature that every other browser/OS has had for years

Is Apple a genius company and that's why people buy everything they make?

Or do people buy everything Apple makes, and that makes them look like a genius company?

Do they just have enough trust with a big enough audience that they can release products that would be failures for most other companies, and iterate them into successes?

So #css #grid template definitions can have fixed values (100px, 30%) or flexible ones (fr).

I see the auto value as a flexible one, even though it isn't called that in the spec.

Objections?

It boggles my mind how bad Nintendo is at UX sometimes.

Every time you find a Tear in TotK, you have to watch the exact same cut scene. You can't skip it, even though it's literally the same every time. It's like 30 seconds of wasted time.

BUT THEN there's a new, unique video after that, which reveals a piece of the story...and you can skip THAT. :picardfacepalm:

Things I realised from writing the #css book, part 2347: outlines do NOT influence margin collapsing.

If my socials ever gain a large following, I hope I will at least have the good grace to not just constantly RT every single positive thing anyone ever says about me.

The more you optimize for building quickly, the more you'll be building the same thing everybody else is.

I love how easy it is to ship things on the web these days. All you have to do is git commit, fix the linter issues, commit again, fix the TypeScript issues, commit a third time, push up your changes, sign in to Okta, wait on CI to pass, fix the failing tests, wait on CI again, re-run CI because it failed for no reason, re-run CI again because an external service didn't respond in time, sign in to Okta again, get three code reviews, two references from previous coworkers, pass a criminal backgr—

We’re calling it “Skyrule”, right?

One of the most infuriating things about layoffs is: everybody involved is disincentivized to call them out for the bullshit they are.

The employees who survived don't want to call bullshit, because they want to keep their jobs.

The employees who got laid off don't want to call bullshit, because they have to look "professional" to find a new job.

And of course, no executive wants to call bullshit, because it benefits them not to.

Layoffs are bullshit with a built-in truth shield.

Execs: "Bad news everyone. The company is headed in the wrong direction."

Employees: "Oh...that sucks. Whose job was it to steer the company?"

Execs: "Ours."

Employees: "Oh, ok. So does that mean you'll be the ones facing the consequences for this mistake?"

Execs: "lololololololol no"
