Stop generating, start thinking - localghost Instead of wanting to learn and improve as humans, and build better software, we’ve outsourced our mistakes to an unthinking algorithm.

I've been on a bit of a social media hiatus, but I've written a new post about something that's been on my mind a lot lately localghost.dev/blog/stop-ge...

I made this "ad" for one of Cursor's recent features.

It finally solves the terrible problem of knowing CSS.

My Changing Media Landscape Chris McLeod is a software developer with over 20 years of experience. Sometimes he writes about it.

Spending 4+ hours on Sunday afternoon writing a blog post (https://chrismcleod.dev/blog/my-changing-media-landscape/) only about 3 people will read? Sure, why not? It’s the blogger’s dilemma

CSS is so powerful now, it's amazing looking through older CSS and seeing what can be replaced with a one-liner. I'm on the hunt for snippets that used to be multiple lines of CSS that can now be done in one. Show me what you got!

CO2 emissions on the web

Making websites smaller has tangible effects on the environment.

This talk by @bell.bz is gold imo

As a freelancer, you're expected to slot into an organisation and keep things moving with minimal friction. Keeping your head down and plowing through will only get you so far though and, to do great work, you have to prioritise planning & communication over coding

Alberto Ballesteros Eleventy starter using modern CSS, fluid type, fluid spacing, flexible layout and progressive enhancement.

I love making websites for and with creative people, so that their work comes across in harmony with their personality. Alberto is a Spanish singer songwriter, and I recommend a listen, if you like some good pop/indie folk!
