You know that annoying absolute positioning trick to add an inset ring around images to help them stand out? Way, way easier these days now that `outline` follows border radius 👌🏻

Swapping my Twitter bookmark for Bluesky for a bit to see how it goes — starting to really appreciate the ability to completely avoid all algo stuff. Just don't want to see anything even close to news at all, and I like that that's easy here.

Having a blast working with the dreamstudio.co team on my new office/studio — they put this rough shot together on the fly in like 15 minutes while we were on a call figuring out the layout, lighting, and camera placement in my new space. Total pros 💪🏻 Can't wait to see the finished concept!

Little Tailwind tip — instead of trying merge classes and manage conflicts with `!important`, style things based on data or ARIA attributes and just handle everything declaratively with CSS:

In Tailwind CSS v4 a lot of utilities just let you put in any value you want now, like `col-start-71`, `z-43`, etc. so it's kind of weird to show a specific list of values in the API reference on the docs pages. If I did something like this instead, is it clear enough?

Let's give this a shot 🙂 The biggest thing that has held me back until now is being mislabeled as one of the people leaving Twitter out of protest, but if this is where people are hanging out, I'll hang too 🤙🏻
