Dang I'm excited about new semantic attr() capabilities in CSS!

I wrote a post about why this feature is so powerful, how it could change the way you build components, and how I would use it.

Advanced attr() is rolling out in Chrome 133 starting next week 🥰

This is SUCH a good video from CJ, and the most impressive part is that he made all these video graphics in the browser 🤯

self-taught developers have advantages of our own:

- you didn't get into coding _by accident_ - embrace your drive
- use other skills in your coding - e.g. your problem solving or creativity or verbal talent

plus:

- play with code!
- ask 'why' a lot
- try to help others out

`margin-block: 1lh;` is such a better default for paragraphs of text than `margin-block: 1em;`

I highly recommend it.

⚠️ We are getting reports that a Craft CMS vulnerability is being actively exploited.

It's been fixed in Craft CMS 3.9.14, 4.13.2, and 5.5.2. Take some time to ensure your sites are running one of those versions or later! #CraftCMS

Buying a Dyson vacuum cleaner with a laser and two cats was(n't) the best idea ever 😂 Unfortunately, you see everything.

Two days to go. Then I have to go back to my personal website to finish this project. Feels like this projects were easier when I was younger 😂 But... Maybe it's the biggest relaunch ever for me because of starting from scratch with @craftcms.com 5 and it's also my first project with @svelte.dev 😅

I also rewrote Datastar’s Getting Started guide, which is a great way to learn about how reactivity works in Datastar, with interactive examples.

most interesting framework for the sixth year running, most positively viewed for the second

(usual caveats apply! but, like... the people have spoken. if you're starting a new web project, use @svelte.dev)
