I love writing words, riding bikes, and righting code.

I feel like I get more done by lighting a tree on fire, pouring some water down the drain, running my AC on full blast with every window and door open, and just writing the code myself

What does that mean for you? I'm slowly going about the same. Which products are you replacing with what, and which are great/meh? Anything particularly hard to give up?

Gosh, I was not ready for that transition between wide and web.

Also, I cant believe you did 7 conferences in one year. Thats a lot. Like, makes my skin crawl, a lot.

Also also, thanks for everything you do. You make the Internet a better place. Hope you're taking care.

CSSWG in discussions to make this easier with the @supports competence flag

And until competence gets broader browser support, you can check
if (window.competence) // do stuff

Or use a shim

Yeah, that's where my mind went, but didn't consider it in the context of publishing 3rd party libs. I bet that solves so many headaches

When do you find yourself using this? I love the approach, but I feel like I've only used symbols a handful of times.

Love that you share these. Don't love how your current circumstances sound. Sending love and well wishes that things will improve soon :)

Huh! Never thought of that. I'll have to give it a go. Thanks :)
