"Away from JavaScript, what excites you the most about the web? The little pockets of weird are still out there. It feels like we’re starting to shake off some of the… Apple-store-ification of the past couple decades."

Once more from the rooftops: "personal websites, babeyyy!"

Fluid type and space is one of many techniques you’re going to learn in this course to make authoring CSS easier for you. The easier it is to author and maintain, the better it will scale, and most importantly, there will be less technical debt to manage too. This frees you up to focus on producing a better user experience, rather than chasing down weird CSS issues.

If you want truly responsive design that works for each and every weirdly sized viewport, you need to use fluid type and fluid space that responds to that viewport. Here's a free lesson from Complete CSS to explain why.

"If you were to give a beginner one piece of advice, what would it be? Learn to really, thoroughly and completely enjoy being shit at something. The process of learning is chaotic, nonlinear, and uniquely human. You’re getting stuck in and you’re deciding to learn a craft or technique for yourself. That is to be cherished and protected and loved."

This is good advice even for those with 20 years experience. Thanks for the reminder @scott.is 💛

SVG favicons that respect theme preference | pawelgrzybek.com Less of guide about the favicons and more a bug report of Safari that at the moment ignores media query user preferences in SVG favicons.

A handy approach here! It'd be useful if browsers had a queryable value for the colour of the UI too so developers could serve an appropriate favicon.

To *reiterate* — a play on words for which I do not forgive myself, nor expect you to forgive me — an **iterator** object follows **iterator protocol**, and the elements it contains can be accessed sequentially, one at a time.

In this free lesson from JavaScript for Everyone, @wil.to helps us make sense of one of JavaScript's most linguistically confusing topics: working with iterators, and their relationship to iterables.

“This article shouldn’t exist. Accessibility should be as normal in conversation as performance, security, SEO, and “AI”. Unfortunately, the tech industry has a big problem with ableism and white supremacy, which is why I wrote this article.”
