I' m fairly sceptical about most courses.
But this @piccalil.li stuff - especially "JavaScript for Everyone" by @wil.to - is the real deal.
It will improve your entire understanding of JS, not just framework-specifics. That kind of stuff pays off for years!
Get. It. Now.

In case you missed it: a little reminder on how to build an accessible color palette, from scratch. We usually thing it's limiting, but, trust me, it's not that hard, and there are many many, many color option combinations possible.
How do I build an accessible color palette? Well, I usually start with my default color.
Then, I'm trying to make sure that I can always use the dark shade, with a light shade, with enough contrast for text on background (4.5:1).
I used to do this manually, but, a color ramp tool / plugin can help!

I laughed so hard about this.
brother i have written business logic machines with so much spaghetti and side-effect that developers would go in to review the PR and never make it out again. i've caused stack overflows so deep that jr. devs can't touch the bottom even on tippy toes

Formatted the SSD of my ThinkPad again. Since I have the generous space of 1 TB, I partitioned it for swap, three OS partitions and a big data partition. Fedora will be my main OS, Pop!OS is there to try Cosmic and the third might be Gnome OS or Manjaro. Not sure yet.

Looking to understand how AI Overviews impacts your site performance?
Its impression and click data being lumped in with the rest of search results makes it hard to analyse.
But knowing its common triggers, I wrote a regex to surface highly-likely-to-be-impacted queries.

Wrapped up an incredible day at the #StateOfTheBrowser conference, organised by @londonwebstandards.org last weekend! Here’s a sketchnote capturing key highlights from some of the talks that really resonated with me.

Hi @searchliaison.bsky.social , in the search console from a client of mine the "Not Found (404)" report went up in the last weeks from 16 to 43. Turns out the URLs weren't listed on their website / sitemaps and the referrers are all external. That's a bug, right?

This is true for all sorts of things but *especially* for CSS. You can save so much frustration and hassle if you take the time to understand the rules that govern layout!
This is so spot on. Two things:
1. Being focused on producing output the fastest way possible means that you will never prioritize "going deep"
2. Going deep (and down the rabbit hole) is how you learn more: but you need to balance it.
Figure out how to do both: it's tricky!

This is how David Copperfield made the Statue of Liberty disappear on live television in 1983. This was a *huge* event in my childhood and I am thrilled to finally learn how it was done. [youtube.com]
