How anyone has been productive in this heat is mind boggling. Feel like 70% of my day is just drinking water and having cold showers.

Really feeling the hit to freelancing at the moment. A lot of leads (smaller businesses) have dried up fast, as they just now go for some generated site they just run through a site builder. I don't like AI's impact on the world and seeing contract work require it. Not sure what to do anymore.

When working with React don't forget that buttons/anchors don't exist and to make everything a div with an on-click event. That sounds top-notch. (this is sarcasm, please don't do this).

Enjoying the **last** #AllDayHey. The biggest thing I get from events, that I can't get from anywhere else: people who care about the things I care about. I'm always nervous attending, worrying I'll be alone, and it never goes that way. But it's always okay. See you at the next event, right?

My music playlists are so jarring sometimes, listening to some heavy screamo song followed by a soundtrack from a musical. Both absolute bangers.

I've got availability for new projects kicking off in May, due to a project falling through. Preferably front-end work, I'm a big fan of @astro.build and @craftcms.com at the moment, but happy to work with other tools. Some examples of past work on my website jackwhiting.co.uk.

Mad that vanilla CSS has come so far, what I used to write overly complex mixins for in Sass, is now just native and works in all browsers with one line. (side throwback to writing tables for layouts..)

I'm a newer convert to @astro.build (last 6 months) but it's so lush. Launched a few production sites using it, alongside the Cloudflare adapter, and it scaffolds out lightweight front-ends with ease. Should have done this earlier...

✨ I just published a new blog post about a nifty lil’ animation technique: sprites! Sprites are used all the time in video games, but they’re less common on the web. We do have the tools to manage it in CSS, but there’s a gotcha. In this post, I share some of the cool use cases I’ve found:

In game development, it’s common to use spritesheets for animation, but this technique isn’t as widely used on the web. Which is a shame, because we can do some pretty cool stuff with sprites! In this...

Started spinning up the new site for my (solo) agency, using @craftcms.com headless and @astro.build, and it is bliss. Tiny react islands where I want some more complex rest just straight up Astro goodness.

Really nice piece on iconography and user interfaces. App designers should take a note on this, the "everything needs an icon" is unbearable both for usability and development honestly.
