Been ruminating on this lately as a maker of small one-off things… years back I’d made console.frog github.com/tholman/cons... … prob took a few hours, would take ai 1 minute. It’s not that my enjoyment from executing on an idea is gone, but the way my work is perceived has shifted.

"Order and disorder." probably my last take at #genuary26, uses a 3D pathfinder to go from neatly ordered stacks to a random layout. #genuary2615
BTW, I'm available for freelance work (2 days a week for now).

Inigo Quilez wrote multiple "avoiding trigonometry" articles:

I remember reading the first one years ago, it completely changed how I think about angles.

Oh, and avoiding trig functions. One acos() made it through, but in general, if you use any trig functions in this, you're doing it wrong and there's almost certainly a better way. That's some algebra I'm glad I didn't have to repeat.

My personal projects are my escape from reality—each one its own little world that rewards slow, diligent work. I enjoy watching them evolve from nothing or a forgotten something into a brand new thing for others to enjoy. I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t making something and I love it.

There is a floating idea that code quality is not that important, only the final product matters.
My experience is that for each developer who thinks like that, you need another one to fix the mess.

Nice article about css, layout and constraints. pavpanchekha.com/blog/why-css...
The idea of constraints always felt more natural fore than whatever css proposes (ok, flexbox is not too bad).
When people ditch constraints because they have issues, I'd like to point that css have their issues too.

Should CSS be Constraints?
