CSS is kinda fabulous r/n. I've got this nested table of contents for a page that's sticky along the side as you scroll, list of links and details/summaries with nested lists, that is both a scrollspy with whatever is currently visible, but also automatically opens and closes the details! ALL WITHOUT JAVASCRIPT.

A wonderful combo of scroll-target-group and :target-current for the scrollspy, ::details-content w/content-visible for the details opening, a healthy use of :has, and ofc pos: sticky.

Hey folks, I was just laid off from my job I'd worked at for 5 years.

I'm hurt, devastated and most of all scared. But I'm also ready to kick things into gear and bring my talents to another company or team.

I've been a Ruby on Rails dev since 2016 and have loved doing it.

My website is https://afomera.dev

If anyone knows of any opportunities I'd love to hear them, please repost or share with folks you know! Thank you.

Google’s widely opposed ad platform, the “Privacy Sandbox,” launches in Chrome

Chrome now directly tracks users, generates a "topic" list it shares with advertisers.

Sadly, over 2/3 of us were laid off from SuperHi yesterday. I’ll miss being a part of that team, wish them all the very best! More context: https://piperhaywood.com/a-long-overdue-work-update/

I’m looking for new opportunities that would suit a design-adjacent front-end engineer who is passionate about accessibility, documentation, and building maintainable codebases. Ideally looking for a remote role at a USA- or UK-based org, or in-person at an NYC-based org.

Boosts appreciated! 💙

This can't end well. I've already sent emails to our exec and data security departments about this.

It is *intense* just how badly the JS/React brainworms have infected the frontend community.

Every single NYT story page has *both* a 437KiB (1.5MiB unzipped) *and* a 474KiB (1.7MiB) JS file, to display ~50K of text. It isn't ad bloat. It isn't tracking. It's this sort of bunk:
