Actual numbers on what it took a seed-stage startup to hire their first two founding backend engineers (full-remote)

It's good to know as a candidate: this is the type of competition you might have. And as a founder: this is how much time investment it can take to make a hire

CSS @​​function + CSS if() = 🤯

I combined them to build a custom --light-dark() that behaves just like the built-in light-dark() but that is not limited to only values.

Hi! 👋

I’m Kat. I’ve been a professional dev for over 15 years. I maintained the NPM CLI for 5 of those. I sat in TC39. I work at Microsoft. I’m self taught w/a film degree and no formal CS edu.

Are you new to tech? What do you wish you could ask some1 like me?

Literally AMA
I wonder if early-in-career folks would appreciate folks like me doing little AMAs on here.
