JavaScript Fatigue
6.8.2020
From Nicholas Zakas’ newsletter, on how he avoids JavaScript fatigue:

Bold on Hover… Without the Layout Shift
27.7.2020
When you change the font-weight of a font, the text will typically cause a bit of a layout shift. That’s because bold text is often larger and takes up more space. Sometimes that doesn’t matter, like a vertical stack of links where the wider/bolder text doesn’t push anything...

How to delete all node_modules directories from your computer
8.7.2020
Nice tip from Chris Ferdinandi:
My node_modules directories contained 50mb of stuff on the small side, and over 200mb of files in some cases. Over a few dozen projects, that really adds up!

Chrome 83 Form Element Styles
3.6.2020

15.5.2020
A surprisingly common response when asking people about things they’d fix about anything in CSS, is to improve the handling of viewport units.
