Considerations for Creating a Card Component
2.3.2020
Here's a Card component in React:
const Card = props ={
return(
<div className="card"<h2{props.title}</h2<p{props.content}</p</div)

Unfortunately, clip-path: path() is Still a No-Go
2.3.2020
I was extremely excited when I first heard that clip-path: path() was coming to Firefox. Just imagine being able to easily code a breathing box like the one below with just one HTML element and very little CSS without needing SVG or a huge list of points inside the polygon function!

Selectors Explained
2.3.2020
Have you ever found yourself either writing a CSS selector that winds up looking confusing as heck, or seen one while reading through someone's code? That happened to me the other day.

A Follow-Up to PHP Templating
28.2.2020
Not long ago, I posted about PHP templating in just PHP (which is basically HEREDOC syntax). I'm literally using that technique for some super basic templating I needed to do on this very WordPress site. The main pushback was that this kind of thing can be an XSS vulnerability. In my case, it's...

You might still learn from...

That's just as unintuitive as JS starting to count at 0, but since you learned that and accept it, it's fine.
The real issue isn't with CSS. If...
When CSS Blocks
28.2.2020
Tim Kadlec:
One particular pattern [for loading non-critical CSS] I’ve seen is the preload/polyfill pattern. With this approach, you load any stylesheets as preloads instead, and then use their onload events to change them back to a stylesheet once the browser has them ready.
