WebDev who occasionally pushes the boundaries. Greatly prefer #HTML and #CSS over JS, but daily work revolves around React so that's awful. Anyway. If some layout trick is possible to do with CSS I will figure out how to do it.

I like to develop #WithAstro so I have multiple Astro projects you can spy on over at my GitHub.

> RESOLVED: make all property descriptors in @property optional
https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/13211#issuecomment-4040028009
@property rules require a syntax and inherits descriptor; if either are missing, the entire rule is invalid and must be ignored. This requirement seems very unlike any other declaration list in CSS...
Well. I guess there are about 32 different primary/secondary action button variants available in the #CSS colornames.
This when pairing two colors to light-dark() that are of similar hue.
Do you want to hear a joke?
"Let's just implement design tokens, we don't have time for a design system with all the bells and whistles."
So it's been half a year since I heard that line. If it looks like a design system and if it behaves like a design system then maybe it is a design system.
We now have 5 million Finns laughing at #Microsoft as they released embarrassingly awful production site for Microsoft Translator.
We have things like godly/overlord cookies, a mobile app that the text implies to be given to us regardless of whether we want it or not, and a mysterious link to "Espoon keskus" (which is a place at Finland) and the link goes to downloads page.
This in addition to horrendous mistakes and anglism-like issues everywhere.
Nothing. Makes. Sense.
"AI"-users are spamming so many shitty PRs that GitHub is considering allowing repository owners to outright disable the pull request system on their repos to prevent low-quality contributions from reaching them.

Hey everyone, I wanted to provide an update on a critical issue affecting the open source community: the increasing volume of low-quality contributions that is creating significant operational chal...
Also: I think I haven't seen anyone do a tool that would estimate the effect of optimizing CSS size vs. the size of HTML/JS.
You would like to go for a balance instead of focusing in optimizing for just one thing.
(Also, these thoughts are mostly meaningful for larger scale sites.)
With CSS people sometimes suggest going for atomic, or essentially, utility classes. To minimize the size of CSS. At worst meaning each class is one declaration.
However I think this is the wrong place to optimize. While throwing in lots of classes in HTML isn't that bad, it does get bad when your JavaScript also grows as the cost of 1 byte of JS is roughly 100 bytes of HTML/CSS.
If optimizing CSS increases the size of HTML and/or JS, then that is not the optimization to do.
