I've looked up to Mat forever so this is a bucket list moment. He taught me JavaScript properly [checks notes] nearly a decade ago with JavaScript for Web Designers and now, my knowledge is even deeper after editing this course.

It really is an evergreen resource. It's how we roll at @piccalil.li
At last, today is the day. I am immensely proud to announce that JavaScript for Everyone is here.

Tell a friend, tell a Slack channel — write it on a slip of paper, fold it once, and slide it across your boss' desk without breaking eye contact. _It's time to get weird._

some time back I built this little border radius visualizer to help figure out how some complex shapes might work- what's interesting (but understood) is how adjustments to specific corners of the element *seem* to affect other corners

TFW you can't find any software that will let you track map locations connected to structured data in a table in one interface so you have to vibe code it yourself.

Felt, Airtable, etc. were all $100+/month for the right to do this. Lol, nope.

One day of GPT-5 vibe coding and problem solved.

Can you help me out, bluesky? 🦋

When exactly did `outline` start following the `border-radius` rounding? Because in the beginning, that wasn't the case. When did that change? When did the change land in browsers?

Thank you!

Reposts appreciated.

I just wrapped a project with a lovely client, and I’m thinking about what’s next. So! I’ve got availability for new work starting in October 2025.

Spiffed up the ol’ portfolio a bit to showcase some past projects, and to talk about the work I do:

Ever cry while cutting an onion? Well, now you don’t have to! Building off of chef J. Kenji López-Alt, we found the mathematically optimal way to dice an onion. *Cutting uniform pieces has not been proven to reduce crying, but you do get bragging rights.

In recent client work, we focused on leveraging "the web platform" rather than frameworks, libraries, and dependencies.

In this article, I discuss transparency & colour manipulation using CSS instead of Sass.

I’m using LLMs for a lot of coding-related things lately, but one thing it’s absolutely not ready for is installing Tailwind 4 in Astro

I wonder if it’s the level of documentation? But, Astro’s implementation is 3 steps and I’ve even pointed Cursor at it
