CSS Vocabulary
27.7.2020
This is a neat interactive page by Ville V. Vanninen to reference the names of things in the CSS syntax. I feel like the easy ones to remember are “selector,” “property,” and “value,” but even as a person who writes about CSS a lot, I forget some of the others....

How to delete all node_modules directories from your computer
8.7.2020
Nice tip from Chris Ferdinandi:
My node_modules directories contained 50mb of stuff on the small side, and over 200mb of files in some cases. Over a few dozen projects, that really adds up!
Two dozen projects with 200 MB worth of node_modules? That’s nearly 5 GB of space for...
WooCommerce on CSS-Tricks
7.7.2020
I always get all excited when I accomplish something, but I get extra excited when I get it done and think, “well, that was easy.” As much as I enjoy fiddling with technology, I enjoy reaping the benefit of well set-up technology even more. That’s why I still get so excited about...

I feel like the tech industry takes itself far too seriously sometimes. I get frustrated by all the posturing and gatekeeping – “You’re not a real developer unless you use x framework”, “CSS isn’t a real programming language”.
I think this kind of rhetoric often puts new developers off,...

What Does `playsinline` Mean in Web Video?
18.3.2020
I got myself confused about this the other day, went around searching for an answer and came up empty on finding something clear. The answer actually is quite clear and I feel a little silly for not knowing it.
With it in place, like this:
<video src="..." controls playsinline</video

Careful with Nested `display: grid; height: 100%;`
11.3.2020
It's not every day you can feel CSS be slow at something. Reddit user jgbbrd discovered nesting grid containers that all have 100% height can cause many-seconds of rendering delay. Probably not something you'll ever have to worry about, but still, interesting. From the comments:
What a funny...
Considerations for Creating a Card Component

Here's a Card component in React:
const Card = props ={
return(
<div className="card"<h2{props.title}</h2<p{props.content}</p</div)
}
It might be pretty useful! If you end up using this thing hundreds of times, now you have the ability to refactor a little bit of HTML...
Where to Learn WordPress Theme Development

Over a decade ago, I did a little three-part video series on Designing for WordPress. Then I did other series with the same spirit, like videocasting the whole v10 redesign, a friend's website, and even writing a book. Those are getting a little long in the tooth though. You might still learn from...

In an article with the most clickbaity article ever, Joe Honton does a nice job of talking about the evolving landscape of web development.

A new podcast from Sean Fioritto inspired by Joel Califa's term "Full Stack Anxiety".
... the little voice in your head says ... “I should know all of this. Do I even know what I'm doing?” Why do web developers the world over feel like this?

The Design Squiggle
16.1.2020
I think we all have an intuitive understanding that, at the beginning of projects that require our creativity (be it design or code), things feel uncertain and messy. Then, as we go, things tend to straighten out. There is still some wiggling and setbacks, but by the end, we find a single solution...
