Recently, I’ve been feeling constant fatigue. I went to the lab, and the doctor diagnosed a severe Vitamin D deficiency.

I'm starting my supplements today and can’t wait to feel the difference in 2-3 weeks! πŸ™Œ

100% yes!

And can I also say that Josh work is *very* inspiring? He raised the bar so much for technical blog posts. πŸ’œ
I think @jakearchibald.com is one of the most talented educators in our space and I’m so thankful for his blog. ❀️

Yess! I have been waiting for style queries in FF for soo long and it's coming 🀩
February 5, 2026 at 5:29 PM
I will keep an eye of this; still not working in the latest Nightly (149)
February 5, 2026 at 5:28 PM
YES!! Style queries are coming to Firefox! 😍😍

I felt that as in the past few days I got over 6 email notifications about the style queries issue on Bugzilla (I didn't mind them at all, of course).

Thanks a lot for the kind words! Much appreciated πŸ™

Just read β€œThe Too Early Breakpoint” by @ishadeed.com β€” and once again, super inspiring to read.
Such a clear way of explaining a subtle responsive design problem, with practical takeaways you can apply immediately.
Always a pleasure to read your posts πŸ‘πŸ™

The Too Early Breakpoint
An opinion on why we shouldn't switch to the smallest design too early.

Totally agree!
February 2, 2026 at 5:42 PM
That moment when I removed a section titled "Real world example" from one of my course modules because the previous explanations are actually real world examples and I'm over-explaining the topic.

Fun times :D

✍️ I wrote a short opinion piece about a pattern I keep seeing lately: switching to the smallest responsive layout too early.

I call it The Too-Early Breakpoint.

I like that :D
February 2, 2026 at 6:01 AM
Yep, I'd call that the lazy fix :D It works better though than expanding the full width.
February 2, 2026 at 6:01 AM
100% this! If the dev/des doesn't want a new breakpoint, just don't let it expand the full width (even though I don't like that, but it's at least better)

I wanted my first article of 2026 to be an opinion/short-style one because I have a lot of ideas like that to write, and my mind keeps telling me, "No, this should be a deep dive."

I won. πŸ˜€

Glad that I mentioned this in the Flexbox module of my course 🀩 Now I just need to update the note.
The CSSWG just resolved to add this to the spec πŸ₯³
