I make websites, mainly the visual part. Is web designer still démodé? Not vintage yet? Let’s say UX engineer. I'm also a dad and a gamer.

When words fail me, I turn to art. Duchamp’s Fountain keeps coming to mind as AI reshapes web craftsmanship: authorship, intention, endless output. So I made an AI-assisted urinal that generates interpretations. It contains some of my feelings. And probably too many words.

Unlimited generation. Optional intention. A Duchamp-inspired web artwork about AI, craftsmanship, and the meaning we attach to what we make.

On an unrelated note: I upgraded to macOS Tahoe last night. I apologize for the negativity but the UI is just so ugly I instantly regretted the upgrade. And now I learn that it drains the battery, which I noticed during the day today. It's not lasting nearly as long as it usually does. Great. 😭

View transitions, anchor positioning, ​@scope, focusgroup, invokers, popovers, container queries, grid, relative colors, style-able selects, and more. The web feels like it’s getting so good at exactly the moment our collective worst practices are getting calcified as the default.

For people who think it's useless because we can simply define max/min-width are missing the point. It's not only about that specific case, but also about any combination that involves other values as well.

💡 CSS Tip! Have you ever tried to use "auto" within clamp()? Unfortunately, it doesn't work, but it's now possible using the new calc-size()! css-tip.com/clamp-auto/ The same applies to all the sizing values (min-content, max-content, fit-content, etc.)

I’ve updated my Pomodoro technique and working playlist all at once. It’s good not to have a precise counter but to follow the flow till you have to change the vinyl side. Also Listening to an entire album instead of random songs on Spotify is an experience I suggest reviving sometimes

Today, I visited the Google Accessibility Discover Center in Milan. It’s a fantastic journey, and experiencing firsthand all the ways someone can navigate the a11y spectrum is something every crafter should do. ADC is open across Europe. Search for the ones near you and do you a favour, book a visit
