I was scrolling through linkedin (I don’t know why) and mos of the posts were very clearly AI generated. If that wasn’t bad enough most of the comments were aswell. This is so dumb. It’s just AI talking to AI about AI? I don’t want to know what AI thinks about itself. This is absurd. I hate it.

I’ve started writing down some of my thoughts about Frontend & AI. I’m not an expert, but where I’ve landed for now is that Design Systems are no longer optional. They are critical, and having dedicated people focused on them is more important than ever. mandy.dev/posts/design...

I’ve been seeing a lot of AI talks and articles lately - I have no idea what’s going on but it has got me wondering about Performance and accessibility and I only have more questions. “People deserved a better web. Will AI be the one who gets it?” medium.com/@mandy.micha...

Drinking cocktails and talking about fonts is one of my life’s joys! 😄

@elly.lol immediately after the talk I realised the answer to your question! You can use size adjust in font face to adjust roboto. There is no reason you can let size adjust multiple fallback options to match your first choice font

Either A.I. is an essential part of the job, in which case it's reasonable for candidates to use it and reasonable for employers to assess the skill of candidates at using it, or it's not.

Whenever I see someone give a talk about CSS I always get reminded how awesome it is! It’s always getting better and solving problems in simple ways! So underrated for what it does!! (Great talk by @5t3ph.bsky.social about Modern CSS at @webdirections.org )

Caught a great talk by @ghuntley.com at Code Leaders @webdirections.org He talked about the future belongs to people who can understand and work with AI. If you're not picking up these tools, you're gonna get left behind.

I was scrolling through TikTok and came across a fashion video - long story short TIL that people don’t know what wingdings looks like and that there are multiple versions. Then I wondered if that’s normal and I’m the weird one?

This is one of my favourite talks about Accessibility! Definitely worth a watch!

🌠 So let’s say you want to use a modern CSS feature like container queries. According to caniuse, the feature is at 93% support. Is that good enough? How do we evaluate this number? I dig into this question in my brand-new just-published blog post, “A Framework for Evaluating Browser Support”. 🎉

Lots of exciting new features have been landing in CSS recently, and it can be tough trying to figure out if they’re safe to use or not. We might know that a feature is available for 92% of users, but...

As of Chrome 131 you have more options to style `<details>` and `<summary>`. You can now use of the `display` property on these elements, and also use a `::details-content` pseudo-element to style the part that expands and collapses. developer.chrome.com/blog/styling...
