Learning to Simplify

16.12.2020
When I first got this writing prompt, my mind immediately started thinking stuff like, “What tech have I learned this year?” But this post isn’t really about tech, because I think what I’ve learned the most about building websites this past year is simplification. This year, I’ve learned that...

The Power of Lampshading

16.12.2020
I enjoyed this blog post from Shawn. Lampshading is apparently the idea of a TV show calling attention to some weakness (like an implausible plot point) so that the show can move on. By calling it out, it avoids criticism by demonstrating the self-awareness. For developers, Shawn notes, it’s...

Mexico’s Biggest University Adds Course That Features Crypto Learning

16.12.2020
Latin America’s biggest and most prestigious university, the Mexico City-based National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) will launch a Financial Engineering course – with modules that reportedly cover subjects such as crypto and blockchain technology. In its December bulletin, the UNAM...

Old is Solid; New Gets Talked About

15.12.2020
When Chris asked me to write about “one thing I learned about building websites this year” I admit my brain immediately went through a list of techniques and CSS properties I started using this year. But then I paused. Other people can write about that much better than I can....

2020 was not a good year for learning

10.12.2020
There, I said it. What did I learn about building websites in 2020? A lot. But what I learned is not nearly as important as how I learned it. So instead, I want to share a couple of strategies I used to unblock learning in less-than-ideal times. I spent almost a decade teaching design and, let...

git: Remove Untracked Files

19.11.2020
I’ve always said that I know just enough about git to get the job done, but also do something destructive. Nothing embodies that more than my recent mistake. I somehow found a git repository full of untracked files and git stash wouldn’t fix it. Desperation led me to learning how...

Getting the WordPress Block Editor to Look Like the Front End Design

4.11.2020
I’m a WordPress user and, if you’re anything like me, you always have two tabs open when you edit a post: one with the new fancy pants block editor, aka Gutenberg, and another with a preview of the post so you know it won’t look wonky on the front end. It’s no surprise that...

Gray Burst

3.11.2020
I made this neat little gray burst thing. It’s nothing particularly special, especially compared to the amazing creativity on CodePen, but I figured I could document some of the things happening in it for learning reasons. CodePen Embed Fallback It’s SVG SVG has <line x1 y1...

Little Things on My Personal Site

30.10.2020
I updated my personal website the other day. Always a fun project since it’s one of the few where it’s 100% just me. It’s my own personal playground with no other goal than making the site represent me to have a little fun. It’s not a complete re-write, just some new paint....

CSS in 3D: Learning to Think in Cubes Instead of Boxes

23.10.2020
My path to learning CSS was a little unorthodox. I didn’t start as a front-end developer. I was a Java developer. In fact, my earliest recollections of CSS were picking colors for things in Visual Studio. It wasn’t until later that I got to tackle and find my love for the front end....

Layoutit Grid: Learning CSS Grid Visually With a Generator

15.10.2020
Layoutit Grid is an interactive open source CSS Grid generator. It lets you draw your designs and see the code as you go. You can interact with the code, add or remove track lines and drag them around to change the sizing — and you get to see the CSS and HTML change in real time! Add some tracks...

Form design

15.9.2020
A very digestable guide from Geri Reid on building forms. Not the code, but the design and UX principles that should guide the code. Working on a design system for a bank has taught [me] a lot about forms. I’ve watched testing in our labs. I’ve worked alongside experts from specialist...

How to Use CSS Grid for Sticky Headers and Footers

2.9.2020
CSS Grid is a collection of properties designed to make layout easier than it’s ever been. Like anything, there’s a bit of a learning curve, but Grid is honestly fun to work with once you get the hang of it. One area where it shines is dealing with headers and footers. With a little...

What I Learned by Fixing One Line of CSS in an Open Source Project

14.8.2020
I was browsing the Svelte docs on my iPhone and came across a blaring UI bug. The notch in the in the REPL knob was totally out of whack. I’m always looking to contribute to open source, and I thought this would be a quick and easy fix. Turns out, there was a lot more to it than just changing...

Expanding the Future (of Dev Tooling) with AI

5.8.2020
Codota wants their tools to (at least!) double developer productivity. My vision is that we can do that not only by getting more developers using these tools, but in expanding where and how these tools learn themselves. The better the tools can *learn from us* what we're doing, the better *we...

Want to get better at code? Teach someone CSS.

28.7.2020
A friend of mine recently asked me to teach her to code. She was an absolute beginner, having no idea what coding really involves. I decided to start where I started: HTML and CSS. Using CodePen, we started forking Pens and altering them. Soon, a learning path started to unravel. The aim of this...
