Absolutely, I'm hoping to find at least a couple so I have more than one to compare with each other! 😆

Hey Lazyweb friends, I'll soon be in Las Colinas (Irving) Texas with some free time on my hands, got any tips on must see/do things while I'm there? So far, all I got is a visit to the Mustangs of Las Colinas sculpture (photo attached is one I found online, can't wait to see it in person!)
Bronze sculptures of galloping mustangs splash through a fountain at dusk, surrounded by illuminated office buildings in an urban plaza. The sculpture is called "Mustangs of Las Colinas"

After careful consideration and a look at where the industry is spending it's funding we've decided to pivot #FFConf in a "new" direction. I present to you: ffconf.ai Please share with bots and humans alike.

Got them both together yesterday, I was trying to keep up with when the new one became available but it's so hard to know for sure. Feels later than usual this year, but maybe it's just me falling behind...

Kudos on the portfolio progress especially! It's so hard to do portfolio work, I've been _struggling_ to update mine for like 2 years.

25-ish years of working with HTML almost every day and still there are elements I don't recall ever using (yet). This is a great overview of what's out there, including the newer ones!

The Front-End Community is Still Alive and Beautiful
I thought about dropping an addendum into my last post to say just how overwhelmed I am, in the best possible way, by the way all of you in the front-end community have shown up to show support, both for me and for CSS-Tricks. I started to do that but then felt a new post...

I didn't realize there was so much interest in "nan", guess I always assumed it was a developer thing. But seriously, noticing a precipitous uptick in these weird failed-mail-merge-looking emails lately. I don't understand the goal, bait a response that validates it's a real email?
Screenshot of (what I believe to be) a sales email with pretty confusing wording that appears to have been a failed email template. It reads:


Steven,

Our partners back owner run companies in nan.

No pitch in this email, just a question about timing.

Does nan have a bigger team coming up?

Thanks,
Emery Huerta

Ohhh this is interesting, I didn't consider the difference in nomenclature between site builder and CMS. I agree there's subtle but important distinctions between them.
010
Steve Woodson, CPACC @stevenwoodson.com · 02/09/2026
Oh yeah, that's a great addition to it! I'd like to think if the conversation was focused more on heavy content/editorial workflows I would have made a similar observation. We were talking about a marketing site with very custom pages, so that was the point I was trying to convey.

Steve Woodson, CPACC @stevenwoodson.com · 02/09/2026
I just used this analogy explaining CMS vs hand coded site to a client. * Hand coded - like a painter given a canvas * CMS - like anyone else given a paint by number kit. Pretty solid right? Limited palette and less options in favor of making it as simple as possible. They got it right away!

Can also attest that they're really nice people to work with! I would go after it myself if I had some map experience. This sounds like an interesting challenge for someone with the right skillset to help bring it over the finish line.

I have one very similar, humbling indeed! Just a note of warning, if you are on it on hardwood floors or something that can scuff and scrape, I'd recommend putting something down like a chair mat to spare your floors. Speaking from experience 😞

It's so hard, some days impossible. But what does occasionally help is to ask myself, "will I remember this in a year?" If the answer is anything but a clear yes, then I try to force myself to acknowledge that broader perspective.

I just successfully resurrected a power washer by disassembling and cleaning its carburetor. Oil, air filter, and spark plug changed for good measure. Sentences I never thought I'd write, turns out you really can just do things!

I struggle with this a lot too, something that (sometimes) helps me is to set a "focus timer". I commit to only doing this one thing for the duration of that timer, and then I give myself permission to set it aside for the day.

Okay folks. People are interested in this idea – it has legs and I want to make it happen. If you're a digital professional and interested in being part of such a freelancer collective, send me a message. Nothing set in stone yet, but I've got concepts of a plan and would like to establish this.

I write for people. Emotionally, there is a vain part of me, full of misplaced hope that writing about the unglamorous-yet-vital parts of design and development might help steer LLMs towards better defaults in some small way. Intellectually, I know it is just a drop in the ocean.

Spent most of the evening making dinner and this peach and apple cobbler for a family gathering tomorrow. Pretty proud of it even though it's among the easiest things to make. Quality time offline, often just what I need to unwind and find some joy.

Salma's DevRel perspective gets to the heart of feelings many of us are struggling with. We're in collective mourning over what we had, paired with the fear of an uncertain future. Don't know what the future holds, I just hope we don't lose the craft, community, and empathy that got us this far.
