The CSS Mindset

CSS is different from other languages, and while that can seem frustrating and leads to a lot of people complaining about it, there's a good reason that it is the way it is. In this episode, I explore how and why it's different, and how we can overcome the frustrations we run into with CSS by adopting the right mindset when authoring our stylesheets. What I've been up to this week: * A quick guide to CSS focus states [https://youtu.be/apdD69J4bEc] * I just wasted a day on this code, was it worth it? [https://youtu.be/a6wJVPUZw2o] * Is this the strangest CSS solution out there? [https://youtube.com/shorts/X5wu2p-trEk?feature=share] * Choosing between flexbox and grid (not from this week, but mentioned during the podcast) Other awesome stuff around the web: * The State of HTML survey [https://survey.devographics.com/en-US/survey/state-of-html/2023?source=kevin_powell] * Jen Simmon's talk Everything You Know About Web Design Just Changed [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBwBACbRuGY] * Jen Simmon's talk Designing Intrinsic Layouts [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMPKmh98XLY] Find me elsewhere on the web: * My Newsletter [https://kevinpowell.co/newsletter] * My YouTube Channel [https://youtube.com/@kevinpowell] * Twitter [https://twitter.com/kevinjpowell] * Threads [https://www.threads.net/@kevinpowellcss]

Om Podcasten

I have a newsletter where I usually start things off with pretty long general musings before I share the content I've created in the previous week, as well as any interesting articles I've stumbled across in the last week.  Not everyone likes reading or having more emails in their inbox, though, so this podcast is an audio version of my newsletters. They aren't tutorials or technical explorations like my regular videos are, but instead tend to talk about a wide range of different topics, though they're generally at least somewhat related to front-end development in some way.
