What is SVG good for?
21.6.2018
Y'all probably wouldn't be surprised if I told you it's pretty awesome for icons, and icon systems. SVG icon systems can, and perhaps should be quite easy. I'm a fan of just inlining those suckers, particularly when they are pretty simple.
But what else?
Logos is a classic example! A lot...
Centering: The Newest Coolest Way vs. The Oldest Coolest Way
20.6.2018
This isn't a comprehensive guide to centering things. We have that!
This is just a little observation about old and new. One of the trickier things related to centering in CSS is when you need to center both vertically and horizontally and you don't know the width or height of what you...
Don’t just copy the @font-face out of Google Fonts URLs
19.6.2018
I don't think this is an epidemic or anything, but I've seen it done a few times and even advocated for. This is what I mean...
You go to Google Fonts and pick a font like Open Sans, and it gives you either a <link> or an @import with a URL there in which to ready this font for usage...
Here’s the thing about “unused CSS” tools
18.6.2018
There are a lot of tools that aim to help you remove "unused CSS" from your project. Never a week goes by that I don't see a tool for this being shared or promoted. It must strike some kind of perfect chord for some developers. I care about performance, and I know that reducing file sizes is good...
Versioning Interview

Adam Roberts (who you might recognize from our interview with him), interviewed me for the Versioning newsletter. I'm publishing my answers here for y'alls perusal as well!
Which dev/tech idea or trend excites you the most at the moment, and why?

By now, you have probably heard a lot of buzz about GraphQL going around and how it’s going to replace REST but you don’t even know where to begin. You hear a lot of buzzwords about mutations and
console.logTime
7.6.2018
I work on a really complex debugger at Mozilla but, and don’t tell my colleagues, I sometimes enjoy simply using console.log and other console commands to get some simple output. I know, I know, but hey — whatever gets the job done. A few years ago I detailed console.time...

Transmit Droplets
30.5.2018
Ethan Marcotte documented his workflow for storing GIFs in a web directory. Sometimes just SFTPing files into a folder is as fancy a workflow as you need, and in fact, modern workflows don't have anything on it!
I've also used Transmit's fancy features for this kind of thing. I prefer saving...

21.5.2018
Americká společnost Google proslula mottem „Don’t be evil“. Nyní jej ze svého korporátního kodexu nečekaně odstranila.

[aktualita] Google ze svého kodexu odstranil slavné heslo „Don’t be evil“
21.5.2018
Google řadu let používal jako své neoficiální motto hlášku „Don’t be evil“, v překladu „Nebuď zlý“. To se mu také při řadě kauz omlacovalo o hlavu. Pro mnohé zábava s tímto heslem pokračuje i nyní. Gizmodo píše, že Google slavné heslo odstranil ze svého kodexu chování (code of conduct). Stal...
How to build a slide deck in PowerPoint that isn’t god awful
10.5.2018
"Oooh! A PowerPoint Presentation!"
— No one ever
Nobody likes a slide show. I don't even have to back that assertion up with evidence. It's a universal truth — like saying "the sky is blue", "the grass is green" or "The Mummy with Tom Cruise is the worst movie ever made." And if...
Conditional Routing with React Router v4
8.5.2018
When building React applications, one thing developers don’t like to utilize is routing in React - usually because of the assumed learning curve involved. In this article, we are going to debunk th
Grid Level 2 and Subgrid
8.5.2018
I find the concept of subgrid a little hard to wrap my mind around.
I do understand the idea that we want to use nested semantic markup as we like and have elements participate in one grid so we don't have to flatten our markup just for layout reasons. But that is largely handled by display:...
VS Code Can Do That?

Clever microsite from Burke Holland and Sarah Drasner that highlights some of VS Code's coolest features. All fifteen of them are pretty darn cool. Here's a few other compelling features I've seen people use/love:
There is a terminal right in there, so you don't need a separate app.

Microsites for Case Studies
7.5.2018
A lot of y'all have personal sites. Personal sites with portfolios. Or you work for or own an agency where showing off the work you do is arguably even more important. Often the portfolio area of a site is the most fretted and hard to pull off. Do you link to the live projects? Screenshots?...
Radial Gradient Recipes
26.4.2018
Radial gradients are pretty dang cool. It's amazing we can paint the background of an element with them so easily. Easily is a relative term though. It's certainly easier than needing to create a graphic in third-party software to use as the background, and the syntax is highly learnable. But it's...
