CSS keeps getting better year after year. @ starting-style { } makes entry and exit animations an absolute breeze. Look at the syntax... you can nest the at rule within a selector. A bunch of great links about it below.

Write alt text like you’re talking to a friend: “There was this dog wearing safety glasses, surrounded by chemistry equipment, saying ‘I have no idea what I’m doing.’” #a11y cloudfour.com/thinks/write-a…

People wonder why women get discouraged from working in tech. They will be having fun, sharing projects that they’re doing in their free time, and a doctoral researcher will let them know that they hypothetically wouldn’t hire her if they hypothetically could hire people because she is doing the project too slowly…even though she didn’t state how long the project would take her and isn’t looking for a job. Women really can’t exist in this space in peace without legitimate people in the field trying to undermine them out of nowhere.

My latest @CloudFour article was written to help my past self because even if dates, timezones, and UTC can be confusing, I want my past self to know that date range validation doesn't have to be so scary. 🙂 cloudfour.com/thinks/the-sel…

Stop lazy loading product and hero images cloudfour.com/thinks/stop-la… I keep bumping into sites where the *most important* image on the page is lazy loaded. Often every image on the page is lazy loaded. You’re better off not lazy loading at all then lazy loading every image.

Stop re-inventing the wheel and just use <button> to create a button. If you're worried about default button styles, use `all: unset`. This one line of #CSS will strip all default browser styles so you can apply your own.
Last night I was watching a conference talk called how to make accessible react components and the first piece of advice was to use aria roles like this <div role=button>click</div> 😭 Please don’t do this.
