just learned that CSS (as of "Baseline 2023") now supports nesting: caniuse.com/css-nesting
I never managed to start using SCSS so I'm excited to be able to write things like this without a preprocessor:
.cal-link {
right: -18px;
@media (max-width: 800px) {
right: 0;
}
}

Every tech company* has platform teams trying to build:
1. Heroku, except hand-rolled
2. One giant shared database, so engineers can ignore analytics without consequence
3. If they have a monolith, microservices. If microservices, a monolith
4. A solution to the halting problem
* Hyperbole. I hope

after days of grifters and con men at CES we stumbled upon the booth for VLC. they were all dressed as wizards and told us, "we have nothing to sell, we just decided to show up". i told them I'd been using their software to pirate media for 15 years and they said "keep doing that"
