Advice for Writing a Technical Resume

27.4.2020
Marco Rogers asked a very good question on Twitter: I talk to a lot of people new to tech from non-traditional backgrounds, e.g. bootcamps or self-taught. I'm looking for good information for those people on how to build out a strong resume when they don't have work experience yet. Advice...

“The title ‘Front-End Developer’ is obsolete.”

24.4.2020
That title is from the opening tweet of a thread from Benjamin De Cock. I wouldn’t go that far, myself. What I like about the term is that ‘Front-End’ literally means the browser, and while the job has been changing quite a lot — and is perhaps fracturing before our eyes — the fact that...

Chrome + System Fonts Snafu

24.4.2020
There was just a bug late last year where system fonts (at least on Mac, I don’t know what the story was on other platforms) in Chrome appeared too thin and tracked-in at small sizes and too thick and tracked-out at larger sizes. That one was fixed, thankfully. But while it was a problem,...

Thank You, Christopher Schmitt

16.4.2020
It’s incredibly sad that Christopher Schmitt passed away last week¹. I keep thinking about how Christopher was one of the best dudes I knew. Just incredibly kind and thoughtful all the way through. I know everyone says that about people after they pass, but I really mean it here. I’m...

The WebAIM Million—Updated

8.4.2020
This report made a big splash last year. It’s a large chunk of research that shows just how terribly the web does with accessibility. It’s been updated this year and (drumroll…) we got a little worse. I’ll use their blockquote: The number of errors increased 2.1% between...

Rethinking Code Comments

2.4.2020
Justin Duke asks if treating code comments like footnotes could help us understand the code in a file better. In his mockup, all the comments are hidden by default and require a click to reveal: What a neat idea! Justin’s design reminds me of the way that Instapaper treated inline...

Did You Know the Ordered List Element Has Start and Reversed Attributes?

24.3.2020
I sure didn't! Tomek Sułkowsi shows how we can reverse the numbering of ordered lists with a simple HTML attribute: <ol reversed<liApple</li<liBanana</li<liPear</li</ol CodePen Embed Fallback And the start attribute can be added to begin the list at a number other...

Emojis as Favicons

24.3.2020
Lea Verou had a dang genius idea to use an emoji as a favicon. The idea only recently possible as browsers have started supporting SVG for favicons. Chuck an emoji inside an SVG <text element and use that as the favicon. Now that all modern browsers support SVG favicons, here's how...

Flexible Repeating SVG Masks

22.3.2020
Tyler Gaw reminds us that mask-image can repeat, resize, and move just like background-image does, which is fun to combine and play with. I could see it being a fun option for an <hr, like Sara is doing. CodePen Embed Fallback Direct Link to Article — Permalink… Read article...

Neumorphism and CSS

20.3.2020
Neumorphism (aka neomorphism) is a relatively new design trend and a term that’s gotten a good amount of buzz lately. It’s aesthetic is marked by minimal and real-looking UI that’s sort of a new take on skeuomorphism — hence the name. It got its name in a UX Collective post from December 2019,...

Google Fonts + Variable Fonts

7.3.2020
I see Google Fonts rolled out a new design (Tweet). Compared to the last big redesign, this feels much more iterative. I can barely tell the difference really, except it's blue instead of red and this one pretty rad checkbox: Show only variable fonts. An option to only show variable fonts is...

The Slideout Footer

5.3.2020
A fascinating new site called The Markup just launched. Tagline: Big Tech Is Watching You. We’re Watching Big Tech. Great work from Upstatement. The content looks amazing, but of course, around here we're always interested in the design and tech as well. There is loads to adore, from the clean...
