There is a lot to think about when implementing a dark mode theme on a website. We have a huge guide on it. There are some very clever quick wins out there, but there are also some quite tricky things to pull off. One of those tricky things is how it’s not a dark mode “toggle” between dark and light..

The title of this article is misleading. It’s not actually very important for an Engineering Manager to use career laddering, per se, or my process. It is, however, very important that an Engineering Manager is clear with their employees about what their expectations and direction, not to mention wh..

Svelte is a free and open-source front end JavaScript framework that enables developers to build highly performant applications with smaller application bundles. Svelte also empowers developers with its awesome developer experience. Svelte provides a different approach to building web apps than som..

I love to make CSS do stuff it shouldn’t. It’s the type of problem-solving brain training you’d get building a calculator in Minecraft, except you probably won’t get a job working with Minecraft Redstone no matter how good you get at that, whereas CSS skills are worth actual money, and many generali..

This is a tremendous CSS-focused tutorial from Adam Argyle. I really like the “just for gap” concept here. Grid is extremely powerful, but you don’t have to use all its abilities every time you reach for it. Here, Adam reaches for it for very light reasons like using it as an in-between border alter..

I‘m not sure how this one came about. But, it‘s a story. This article is more about grokking a concept, one that’s going to help you think about your animations in a different way. It so happens that this particular example features infinite scrolling — specifically the “perfect” infinite scroll for..

This Robin Sloan fella is an interesting character. Not only have I read his one of his fiction novels, the tremendous Mr. Penumbra’s 24‑Hour Bookstore, but I also use the olive oil he makes with partner Kathryn Tomajan. But here, I’m linking to an article from his not-so-secret email club The Socie..

I think it’s fair to think of Netlify as a CDN-backed static file host. But it would also be silly to think that’s all it is. That’s why I think it’s smart for them to have pages like this, comparing Netlify to GitHub Pages. GitHub Pages is a lot closer to only being a static file host. That’s still..

One of the ways you can classify a programming language is by how strongly or weakly typed it is. Here, “typed” means if variables are known at compile time. An example of this would be a scenario where an integer (1) is added to a string containing an integer ("1"): result = 1 + "1"; The string c..
