CSS is DOOMed!
I've build DOOM in CSS and every wall, floor, barrel, and imp is a div, positioned in 3D space using CSS transforms.

Try it out! But... not every browser can handle it. This is taking the browser to its limit. Chrome has some issues. Safari too. Bugs will be filed.
Safari compact tabs are back 😌
Also, very many quality fixes -- my favorite kind of work.
The great thing about <compiled-language> is that if your code compiles, it's correct!

If you have existential feelings about the state of your software stack, just remember that on the web it’s completely undefined which element a mouse click returns.
Are you excited about CSS Grid Lanes?
It can be tricky to fully understand how content order works in this layout. Safari Technology Preview 235 just landed a new Order Number tool in our Grid Inspector to quickly see what’s up. Especially helpful with `flow-tolerance`.

I often see some cool robotics people forking/starring and I wonder if my library (or some derivative) has ever seen any production use 👀
This feels like a different life, but my most starred project on Github is something completely unrelated to the web.
It is a port of a popular inverse kinematics solver library to the ROS2 API.

A deep, well-researched & cited piece detailing systemic failures down the web stack (standards bodies, browsers vendors, etc) which marginalize #accessibility and its voices — but with proposed solutions.
