Wildest #CSS media query I've written in a while
`@container (inline-size >= calc(100cqi - 120px))`
yep, `calc()` in a MQ!
WHY?
to re-anchor buttons to be "inside" when space is tight
Video:
purple outline's are containers, buttons adapt to containers or the page

Copilot Free launches today!
Here’s to an open source holiday season full of smart PRs & no lumps of AI coal 🎄
To my maintainer friends: I’ll keep advocating to make sure Copilot helps you, not adds to your workload. I’d love to hear your thoughts on how tools like Copilot can better support you!
I'm at @theverge.com today talking about digital decay, link rot, watching my work slowly being erased from the internet, and how it makes me feel like I am fading away.
To be honest I feel I should document this weird facet of Northern European culture otherwise it’ll probably forgotten.
My childhood was full of shareware software from coverdiscs like this. I knew of Mario and Donkey Kong not from Nintendo, but from knockoff games in these…
Ooh if you’re interested in the algorithm being put to use here, I wrote an interactive post about them! They’re really cool, and this is a neat use case for them.

Every Black Friday Shopify shows how "boring" technology can be scaled just fine.

Did another pass over yesterday's photos with b&w in mind. This improved some images but not others. For example, the photo of the mountain through the trees doesn’t really change that much. But in the photo of the geothermally active field, the fence becomes a more distinctive visual feature
Seeing over and over #DesignSystems teams finally starting to feel good with adoption in design, but dev seriously falling behind. There's all sorts of options to help remedy it, however I can't help but think that hiring a shit hot hybrid designer/developer or "Design Engineer" is the real solution
Believe in yourself and create cool stuff—always! 💜
If you've been following my journey, you know @coolify.io has faced its share of skepticism on social media. The biggest blow came from someone I admired, who said:
"Why bother? With Heroku and Vercel around, this is a waste of time."
The framework doesn’t “make links through JavaScript”. It renders whatever HTML the developer tells it to. If the dev is using event handlers instead of native links, the dev’s own fault
I’d go further and say there’s a contingent that doesn’t really understand the grain of the web at all. I think there’s a chunk of the industry that came in several years ago from more conventional software backgrounds and never really gained that understanding
When someone gives you the link to their personal/small business site, do you instantly go and inspect it in the browser? Or am I a special breed of dork?
Another popular blog post that gets a lot of traffic is this one. If you've seen me streaming, you may have seen me use the alias "dam" in my terminal. Here's what it does!
