Nice, yes, this exactly!

Related, people should get a yearly receipt of how taxes they pay break down in terms of spending and benefits. 10k in taxes paid = $1400 for defense, $300 for cancer and vaccine research, etc.

Hard to be mad about foreign aid if people know it costs them like $2 personally.

For any devs wondering what 18F does (did), here’s its GitHub org page, with 1,210 repos. A few were mine! All the work they did for all their agency partners was open source. Public money should produce public software, for public inspection.

Those days are over, starting today.

100%. "Utility only" baggage aside, v4 is a pretty nice tool for auto-generating tokens and auto-generating utilities based on those tokens.

This is exactly the kind of scenario where I just write CSS and reference Tailwind tokens within.

It's so bad that I ended up excluding Safari from view transitions on my personal site.

no knowledge churn, no breaking changes, little to no tooling to manage; sounds pretty good to my ears

coming to framework near you, summer 2027 😅

this thought brought to you by a Tailwind upgrade I'm working on, which is *just now* getting full support for custom properties, 6 or so years after they were widely available in all modern browsers

this is the design you run with when your goal is to turn around and say "no one actually wants custom feeds!"
