Designer, HTML'r, and Dad. I really enjoy the ability to keep up with my industry in one single place. Lets keep the party going and support one another.
Dave over here really solve those internet problems we would all love to fix. 💯😎🫠
Going to start an online community called "Differnet" so when I spell "different" wrong I can play it off like I meant to do it and I won't look like an idiot anymore.

You may have missed my #CSS anchor positioning livestream with @miriam.codes and @jamessw.com earlier today, but that’s okay! The geeks at YouTube figured out some kinda magic capture thing that lets you play back live events whenever you want. Here’s ours: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOXY...

Kind of amazing to think about how different the world might be today if PayPal had just... failed early on and shut down. You can trace so much nonsense today back to PayPal getting bailed out by eBay.

In @figma.com Design you can easily cut up a shape with a path using the shape builder tool, without moving over to draw! 🤯
Just draw the path you want to use to "Cut." Just select your object and path and press "M," and click your regions.

Step 3: have courts reject your tariff authority

we should for sure be doing stuff like this
behold the "HTML bomb"
It's a counterattack for AI companies that persistently scrape and rescrape your web site, even when you tell them not to
when a scraper grabs it, it becomes a 10-gig HTML page and 💣 goes the scraper

New meyerweb post! I crawled down a #CSS hole to find where it ended. The results were as mind-bending as I could’ve hoped, even though I was sort of hoping they wouldn’t be. Come see what happens to browser engines when you literally push them to infinite lengths! meyerweb.com/eric/thought...

Hmmmmmm.... So basically content creators are just driving the market with endless videos? This seems surprising.
If you were to believe what you see our there, *everyone* is using AI to vibe code all day long...
Turns out, the majority of devs aren't even using it at all???

Oh wow.... Looks like I need to join the discord. I score pretty well on all the YouTube cmquestions. So I would love to see which card layout I fall into. #contextmattwrs
I've long thought that HTML is harder than people give it credit for, and to see if I was right, I challenged my Discord community to write the HTML for a very simple card component, and I think they helped me prove my point 😊

When creating PDFs, avoid using "Print to PDF." A screen reader user may still be able to access the text of PDFs created this way, but heading structure, alternative text, and any other tag structure will be lost. Using "Save As" or "Export" can preserve these tags.

I have a BFA in illustration, but could have doubled majored with graphic design. I think this shows my age more than my talent! I really took to html on the way out of college though. Teaching the slow computer how to render my art was super fun.
