Trying to wrap my head around the fact that Europe is being invaded from both sides.
Putin is already in Ukraine from the East and Trump is now intent on taking Greenland—a semi-autonomous territory related to Denmark—from the West. It's a Trump/Putin pincer movement, right?

Interesting idea...
Interesting, I'm wondering if we can protect open source code by adapting this.
Redirect from the README to an llm, ai or mcp folder with poisoned code where operators and functions with similar signatures are randomly swapped, and freely mingle the comments. Type-checkmate?

📝 How To Dynamically Install Custom Elements
A pattern I’ve been working on for a while. Load just the elements you are actually using. “Tree shaking” is trivial with HTML.

I find myself a lot closer to platform engineering and architectural design wrangling these days, but on the rare occasion I get some web design work, I always return to Every Layout. The best resource and reference guide that vitally changed how I write CSS. And at $34.50, it's a steal
You can fundamentally rewire your brain to properly understand CSS layout... for $34.50. Can’t say fairer than that! One day left.
Oh I forgot to mention on here, Every Layout is doing the annual 50% discount too! every-layout.dev
