@housecor Issue is devs are using these heavy SPA frameworks for non application things (like simple marketing websites). So in that context, it matters a lot.

I'm not seeing enough web design that adapt to the content. The thinking is more often that the content needs to slot into a prescribed template, not that the design should reflect and adapt to the available content. Have you seen good examples of content responsive design?

CSS "content-visibility:auto" is amazing: skip rendering & painting offscreen content until needed. I got a ~1s faster render on a long HTML document on desktop, ~3s on mobile. web.dev/content-visibi…

Feels a bit dystopian when Alexa understands your child better than you do... “Lexa play Oh My Gammon Star”...

I like Tailwind but I worry about this becoming acceptable. The purist in me thinks they shouldn’t offer the CDN version at all. Tailwind is a power tool and requires a good deal of responsibility to wield... but at the same time I recognise that is elitist gatekeeping. Hmmmm.

Finally removed “ExpressionEngine expert” from my Twitter bio. A bit sad and nostalgic about that, as I wouldn’t be where/what I am today without it, having used it since 2007. I wish the new owners luck with the release of v.6. 🎉👋

Here's something you don't hear very often: I just completed my first project using @tailwindcss and... I _quite liked it_. In related news, I also _quite like_ Marmite.
