Sat there wondering what CSS actually looks like. A night sky, obviously! 634 properties and at-rules turned into stars, spec sections into constellations, and a Milky Way made of vendor prefixes. blog.alena.rocks/en/artifacts...

The CSS Night Sky

612 CSS properties as a star chart: a star’s size is the real share of page loads, the Milky Way is vendor-prefixed properties. Search, constellations by spec area and links to MDN.

Do we really need a framework for every damn project? (Hint: probably not.) 🧵👇

Junior starts work: here's the documentation, here's the code, here's the tasks for the week, and here's a mentor — ask if you need anything. Senior starts work: here's the access. If something breaks, you'll find out first. Oh, and there's no documentation, you'll write it yourself.

We’re discussing "beautiful numbers" in chat. Everyone has their own favorites—I love multiples of 5, someone prefers 10, or better yet, 12. But somehow, 207 was unanimously declared *ugly*. Are you the same, or are you normal?

Every time someone publishes an article about CSS colors mentioning only rgb(), hex notation, and hsl(), an angel loses its wings. Two angels if the article only mentions the comma-notation for rgb() and hsl(). Three angels if the article only mentions the 6-chars hex notation, rgba(), and hsla().

Mama said I'm a software developer 😎 Tired of forgetting about npm run dev and it eating up my memory overnight. So I wrote a little script that checks if the editor window or localhost is open, and if not, shuts down the server after 10 minutes. Feeling proud of myself! 🙌
