Digging @bell.bz here: "The path to becoming a great developer is more than just coding. It's down to how you approach everything else, like communication, giving and receiving feedback, finding a pragmatic solution, planning — and thinking like a web developer."

🎊 Happy New Year!

I discovered a lot of very cool dev stuff in 2024, from libraries to devtools to educational resources. Thought it’d be fun to share them all, to help kickstart your 2025!

Let’s go through the list. 🧵

Strava 2024 summary of run activity. 110 days active. 523 miles run. 10,561 total elevation. 81 hrs total time.

The sun glowing behind a cloudy sky above the bay.

🏃🏼 Last run of the year to round out ‘24. It was my most consistent training year (minus a surgical setback) and even got my first half-marathon race in the bag. Here’s to more miles and exploration in 2025 🤙🏻

Reminder: you don’t have to be good at something to enjoy it, you don’t have to get better at it, you don’t have to monetize it, and it doesn’t have to be useful.

One of the best features of bluesky feeds is when you pull to refresh and there are no new posts. You’ve seen all the posts for now my friend, put your phone down. 😌

if you can find a way to have fun as you’re learning, you WILL get further. so please: make silly stuff. goof around. play 💜

Is it pronounced the “ay-tee” protocol or “@“ protocol? 🤔

Here’s another starter pack. This one is for all the people who love #CSS, #CSS, #CSS! 😁🤘✨

HEY. I had the great opportunity to go on the @syntax.fm podcast and talk about web performance, web components, & a lot more. That episode is live with an absolute linkbait title wherever you get your podcasts! 🎉 syntax.fm/show/848/web... open.spotify.com/episode/0YgS...

Incredibly hilarious. Bravo.

Make it fast. Make it accessible. Make it easy to use. Make its value apparent. Ask people what they think of it.

💯 Principles we should all be living by.

A Friendly Introduction to Container Queries • Josh W. Comeau It’s been a couple of years since container queries started landing in browsers… so why isn’t anyone using them? It turns out that container queries are kinda tricky; they’re not as straightforward as...

🌠 For years, the #1 most requested feature in CSS was Container Queries. We wanted them so badly!

Well, they’ve arrived… and none of us are using them. 😂

I think I know why, and I just published a new blog post that will hopefully change that!

Check it out:

Great way to lay it out there and shift away bad fits

Do your best to take care of yourselves this week, friends. Take breaks, breaths, and walks.

Change the course | everything changes Use what you’ve got.

I needed to read this @aworkinglibrary.com essay this week; maybe you need it, too. everythingchanges.us/blog/change-...

import { authorFeedLoader } from "@ascorbic/bluesky-loader"; const posts = defineCollection({ loader: authorFeedLoader({ identifier: "mk.gg", }), }); export const collections = { posts };

--- import { getCollection } from "astro:content"; const posts = await getCollection("posts"); --- <div> { posts.map(async (post) => { const { Content } = await render(post); return ( <section> <Content /> <p>{post.data.likeCount} likes</p> </section> ); }) } </div>

Would you like to display your Bluesky posts in your Astro site? I've made an Astro content loader for Bluesky! When you build the site it loads your posts and puts them in a content collection. You can then display them on a page, or use the raw data however you want.
