Web Developer since 2002. Focus on UI/UX and front-end development. Teaching HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

Audiobooks, Photography and all things tech.

Based in Sofia, Bulgaria
And there is a new open math and physics course locally where they get to cover the university level math and physics in 2 years. I really want to learn more math. Also read ~40 books this year. Getting old for that shit!

Exactly, but there is just so much more to learn. I want to learn Go + Tmpl, check out HTMX. Spend some time on accessibility, look into web components. New stuff with color spaces in CSS. And that doesn’t touch on my hobbies like Photography, smart home stuff and home-lab with notes of devops :)

No, CSS doesn’t need the same types of abstraction and complexity as a general purpose languages - it has its own. We should stop trying to solve UI problems with JS before we understand what CSS is capable of. Somehow CSS knowledge is not marketable, but JS over engineering is. Can’t figure out why

I don’t believe CSS was ever designed to be an application UI tool. CSS was built for the web. In 20 years of experience I have seen all kinds of condescension towards CSS and the people who understand it deeply.

That is cool. I am happy to land a hand if you get stuck anywhere. Happy coding!

Gutenberg or pure classic PHP theme?

You are right. I support the goal to empower people getting into the web and make them feel more capable and welcome.

I am a bit annoyed at the overall degradation of CSS (and HTML) knowledge as the-easy-thing that is taken for granted and/or not really valued. old-man-shouting-at-the-clouds :)

Agreed! The P was for emphasis in my case. It is implied.

I always appreciate a friendly "Uhm actually ..." :) Thank you!

Will never get tired of recommending Heydon Pickering's Webbed Briefs
