Everyone blames avocado toast and lattes for millennials being broke, but no one talks about the 27 domain names you renew annually because you're trapped in a sunk cost fallacy and can't get over how great the pun is.

dev log 001 - just wanted a sticky header to have a shadow that fades in after scroll. Firefox still has scroll-driven animations behind a flag. So now for the hackiest css-only solution:
- sticky shadow under header
- absolute white shadow over it to hide it pre-scroll
Am I overcomplicating this?
