Just out of interest, I wondered how much work it would take to create this as a Chrome extension. Turns out: not a lot. I managed to tweak this just a bit and submitted it to the store. So, yeah ... this is now available as an extension!

Because I've seen this yet again: don't use small %-valued differences between stop positions to fix gradient jagged edges. May look fine on your screen, but not necessarily on others.

❌ DON'T (blurry edge for big background-size, jagged edge for small background-size)
radial-gradient(at 0 100%, #000 69%, #0000 70%)
✅ DO (smooth edge regardless of background-size)
radial-gradient(at 0 100%, #000 calc(70% - 1px), #0000 70%)

On Monday, whilst parked at a public car park and enjoying a coffee someone reversed into my truck, caused a big dent and left.
Today I got a call from a police officer who witness this but the van driver failed to stop. I now have their licence plate & a witness to pass onto my insurance company

The TikTok ban, the Musk Twitter takeover, the Facebook moderation policy changes, the Republicans’ rapidly intensifying crackdowns on speech... let these be the proof you needed to move anything you care about online to a space you control.
Digital sovereignty is more important than ever.

Would anyone be interested in helping me put together a small "pilot" for a dev education show I want to try to produce?
The ask: I'll send you 3-5 dev topics. You come up with a fun/interesting analogy for each and record the analogy in 1 minute in the highest quality your setup allows

#tinyCSStip As I just saw this in a '24 tutorial to make an absolutely positioned pseudo extend `8px` outside its parent in all directions.
❌ DON'T 🙀
width: 100%; height: 100%;
left: 50%; top: 50%;
translate: -50% -50%;
padding: 8px
✅ DO 😼 (1 declaration, not 6)

One thing the Node community absolutely (this includes TS, all the build systems and us devs), 100% failed at is the build tools.
I don't think I've ever been able to return to a project that's more than a few years without having the build then fail, regardless of whether I match the node version.
