What little CS knowledge I have was hard won over a long period of time. I still don't really care for it, except where it's pragmatic enough to help me make better decisions while I work.

Perfectly Pointed Tooltips: All Four Sides
Tooltips are a natural fit for the abilities of Anchor Positioning, which can help place them on *any* side or corner. It does make dealing with the pointer extra tricky though.

Responsive typography is getting so much simpler. This already works in a couple browsers, and the fallback is minimal:
--progress: progress(100vi, 320px, 1200px);
font-size: calc-mix(var(--progress), 1rem, 1.25rem);
But that will get even better…
