New phone ordered, now for the intense case research!

I was kinda hoping calc-size() could resolve intrinsic sizes inside math functions but it doesn't seem to (at least in Chrome Canary). Not sure if that's a bug or if Friday afternoon isn't the best time to try to understand draft #CSS specs 🤯

I don't think it would be a common use case, but it would be handy to be able to use it to solve things like this https://mastodon.social/@Jbasoo/110593686096922129

I wanted to do #jsnakedday but life got a bit busy with it being my first anniversary tomorrow. Maybe I should investigate automated deploys for next year 🤔

I currently have that melancholy feeling after finishing something great, in this case it's from Horizon Zero Dawn.

Day 55 of Finnish on Duolingo and I just want to give up.

Just ran into the #Figma dev seat restriction. If I'm understanding correctly, I (dev) would need to ask the separate design agency for a seat in their plan, for access to the previously free inspect feature, which they don't use but I do.

Arbitrary shade values usually go from lightest (100) to darkest (900), but shouldn't it be the other way around?

I've been playing around with the number being the lightness value in hsl/oklch and it seems to be fairly intuitive.

Dear plugin/framework/platform devs, STOP USING !important IN YOUR CSS. Either learn the basics of specificity and the cascade or hire front-of-frontend devs. You're making your code much harder to consume, especially for juniors.

Using <details> inside <nav> for a multi-level menu must have some #accessibility concerns, right? https://codepen.io/jbasoo/full/PoLYNzG

Are there any #CSS meetups in London planned for next year? I heard some rumblings after #CSSDay but nothing's popped up on my radar yet.

Does anyone know if it's possible to solve this #CSS problem with grid instead of flex + calc? I've found myself using the same method lately and I'm not a fan of how verbose it is. https://wiryawanadipa.com/blog/calculate-percentage-width-of-flex-items-when-using-gap/

I went to book a flight with Wizz Air last night and the absolute shocking web performance made me feel better about my own work.

It takes ~30s to process the #JS and render the search, literally the primary function of the site. I like the DX of #VueJS but is this kind of performance really worth it?!

I'm kinda skeptical of every new framework trying to become the next big thing and locking developers into a methodology that abstracts the fundamentals away. I think I'd have a lot more confidence if their mission was explicitly, "This design pattern is awesome so we want to refine it, push the web platform forward and ultimately make our own framework obsolete."

Not sure if it's Stockholm syndrome or if I'm actually starting to like #WebComponents

I got carried away last night after reading @bramus post on scroll direction detection using #CSS #scrollDrivenAnimations. It turns out you can control #pixelArt sprites in 8 directions! With zero #JS!

Are there any open source repositories for 8 bit RPG/Pokemon style graphics? I'm making a little #css demo and want something fun. #gameDev

Somehow I completely missed Fall Out Boy covering and re-writing We Didn't Start The Fire. I'm not sure how I feel about it 🤔

I've just started learning #webComponents and oh my days there seems to be a lot of ways to boilerplate this. Should I just use #Lit? It looks like I'd need a bundler which seems overkill for my tiny #11ty site.

Also, are there any good courses around?

I think I've just discovered the cause of my regular Saturday headache. It's almost as if humans weren't meant to be hyper-stressed 5 days a week! 😖

Oh yay, a "pay rise" that doesn't even match inflation. Are there any jobs going for a front-end dev with a strong interest in UX, performance, accessibility and over a decade of experience in multiple e-commerce platforms? https://jamesbasoo.com/ #FediHire #fedihired #fedijobs
