I’ve been tinkering with a new version of my personal site, using only plain ole CSS for styling, and I have to say—I missed how nice it feels to write CSS all day. Tailwind is still my go-to for production-level work, but dang, writing CSS just feels good.

Incredible day from an incredible driver. Truly a world class performance under unprecedented conditions. If you haven’t watched the race from Brazil today… you should.
