I got tired of doing it the WordPress way, so I switched to writing all the CSS in .css files and combining them with PostCSS:

@layer is such an underrated CSS feature, it solves most of your architecture specificity and distribution problems honestly. It's not mentioned enough.

noted: why can't "AI" bros take "no" for an answer?

there's a common theme of non-consent around the AI industry that's vile and disturbing

Ow yeah! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

FYI: you can start using customizable select *TODAY* because it is the perfect progressive enhancement: in browser with no support you get the status quo which is just a regular select (which you can also style up to a certain extent).

The more CSS focuses on typography the more we can convince designers that it's the best design tool for the web IMO.

Love to see it.

Whatโ€™s the point of learning this stuff? โ€ข Josh W. Comeau Friendly tutorials for developers. Focus on React, CSS, Animation, and more!

Nice write-up by @joshwcomeau.com in his latest newsletter where he takes a look at some of the struggles AI still have with CSS, including what looks like a fairly simple example that it simply can't handle, as well as the benefits of deep knowledge.

I made an interactive demo to illustrate the `contain` vs. `cover` values. You can play with picking various combinations of box and actual image aspect ratios.

Hereโ€™s a question I get a lot:

> โ€œNow that AI can generate front-end UIs for us, whatโ€™s the point of learning CSS ourselves?โ€

I think there are lots of reasons, including that you can use AI much more effectively if you understand CSS yourself.

But is that actually true? Letโ€™s discuss. ๐Ÿงต
