🚨 New section alert! I just added a “Side Quests” page to my website—documenting all the skills & adventures I’ve picked up outside software engineering. It’s also a way for me to show some more personality beyond my professional side

After working on backend tasks for almost two weeks now, I feel like AI helps significantly since backend is usually more structured. But so far, I feel like I can't fully utilize AI when doing frontend. It's kind of hard with the design systems and personal touches.

For anyone who makes content of any type, if you don't have one, think about starting a newsletter. You can be web-first, but newsletters are (even in 2025) such a good way to reach your audience. And if you have a small audience, it generally means they'll be an engaged audience!

I used to read more because I read when I commute. Now that I’m practically home majority of the time, I feel like I have no time to read. Now I prefer to hail a taxi (even though more expensive) because I can read on the way. *public transport works too!

It surprises me that not a lot of people care to add a focus style when doing frontend. Sometimes they even use "outline: none" instead 💀 Checking focus style is one of the pipeline both in self-coding and code review.

one tiny detail that people might miss: I took my time to line those up so it feels like a print on a literal notebook 🤣 also the title & date on the top right corner is dynamic!

3 analytics providers seem to have different values. Does anybody have any idea why? Maybe it's due to different ad blocker and bot filtering?

Finally had a free moment over the holiday break to mess around with some creative code ideas. I hacked on this little Web Component that outputs a shimmering pixel effect when its parent element is hovered. Read the post and check out the demo: ryanmulligan.dev/blog/pixel-c...

I was using Canvas for the hero animation. It's JANKY in Firefox and consumed a lot of CPU 😱 I rewrote it using CSS transform & perspective. CSS is king for animation perf⚡ - nothing can compete.

🔥 CSS Tip: Use CSS :has() and :is() to create layouts based on contents. For my slides, I cover several common layouts - text only, text + image, two images. Then I just have to add the contents to the slide and the proper layout is applied.
