View this email in your browser (or share it with a friend!) Hello Reader, A few weeks ago, I posted a video about the current state of the internet after I had a terrible AI-generated CSS article showing up in my news feed. I was saddened by how it was getting priority over quality content from sites like Piccalilli, Smashing Magazine, CSS-Tricks, and countless other excellent sources (I’ve put a bunch in the other links around the web section below if you’re looking for more to follow). At...

View this email in your browser (or share it with a friend!) Hello Reader, It's been a while since I've had a long newsletter... I know some people prefer these, so if you're one of them, here we go (and for the rest, you can skim down to the next section 😉). Also, stick with me, because this is going to tie back into web development in a second, but I grew up downhill skiing since the age of two or three. From the age of seven until sometime in my twenties, I skied every weekend throughout...

View this email in your browser (or share it with a friend!) Hello Reader, I’ve been doing a lot more interviews with people over on my second channel over the last few weeks. Only one of those conversations has been posted sso far, with the others coming soon. The reason I mention this, though, is that one question I like to ask my guests near the end, when I do a rapid-fire segment, is “Is there a CSS best practice that you disagree with?” The reason I like asking that question is that so...

View this email in your browser (or share it with a friend!) Hello Reader, Yup, you read that right, I'm hosting a totally free CSS Grid workshop this week! You can scroll down a bit if you're interested in that, but first I want to talk a bit about one of my goals with my second channel. One of my favourite things to do there is to have conversations with other people, and while I have had a few in the past, most episodes are just me rambling about things. I've finally reached out to some...

For those who don't know, Interop is an initiative to ensure that all browsers properly implement features outlined in the web specifications, which means not only do they support those features, but they are bug-free.

View this email in your browser (or share it with a friend!) Hello Reader, With summer winding down, I'm winding my own things back up a bit, with this newsletter returning to having a bit of a random ramble at the start, and most of the content I put out on a regular basis back up and running as well. The crazy thing with the summer winding down is that it once again reinforces how fast time is flying by. Every time I blink, it feels like 3 months have passed. And speaking of time flying,...

View this email in your browser (or share it with a friend!) Hello Reader, This edition of the newsletter is the last “summer break” edition. We’ll be back to the full one starting next week 🙂. 🙋♂️ What I’ve been up to this week Select a specific row in a grid, even when using auto-fit or auto-fill A fun look at how we can select a specific row when using grid’s auto-fit feature, including an example by Temani Afif, who looks at how we can do this with a lot less code in the near future. When...

View this email in your browser (or share it with a friend!) Hello Reader, The shorter summer version is still in effect, but I had several DMs and emails this week asking me about my overall approach to writing CSS, and I wanted to let you know that I do have a Frontend Mentor course where I cover exactly that. In the course, we build out a project based on a Figma design, starting from scratch. Throughout, I make a point of emphasizing my thought process on the decisions I’m making along...

View this email in your browser (or share it with a friend!) Hello Reader, A quick reminder that I’m in summer vacation mode for the next 2-3 weeks, which means these newsletters won’t have any general musings to start them off, and there will be a bit less content than usual. If you’d like to opt out of these shorter ones, you can click here to update your preferences, and I’ll only send you one again once the newsletter is back in full force. 🙋♂️ What I’ve been up to this week Spice up your...
