    Feeling way more existential than a Wednesday calls for. Existentialism is for weekends. Don&amp;#39;t try to tell that to my brain though. Sigh. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

    Yโ€™all big updates to one of my PostCSS plugins! postcss-custom-prop-sorting v4.0.0 is out (https://github.com/castastrophe/postcss-custom-prop-sorting/releases/tag/v4.0.0). Sort your custom properties by dependency order, so โ€“-color-base always lands before anything that var()s off it. New in v4: โ€ข Warns on circular dependencies โ€ข Traces the full var() fallback chain โ€ข Ships with type declarations โ€ข 100% ESM

    It&amp;#39;s not official yet but there&amp;#39;s a strong likelihood I will be teaching 2 courses at my alma mater, Meredith College, this semester! Web programming with databases and an intro to Python. Being a professor has been on my bucket list since before I can remember. ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿคž

    Curious what is the experience of others in #getfedihired: I am a well-qualified engineer with a good reputation in several communities, a public speaker, leader at enterprise-level companies. I am also openly AuDHD. None of my applications since January are getting through to recruiters (as far as I can tell). Has anyone else noticed this change? I had several interviews last year but everything went silent recently. (1/2)

    ๐Ÿ˜‚ oh no. I read a post by a young autistic person I follow on instagram and was proud of him as if he&amp;#39;s my son. When did I stop being &amp;quot;me too friend&amp;quot; and become &amp;quot;yes my sweet baby child you are amazing&amp;quot;?! ๐Ÿ’œ

    I&amp;#39;m not entirely sure I play video games right. &amp;lt;she says while building a json data set for the resources with categories for method (digging, foraging, mining) and location&amp;gt; Next I&amp;#39;ll be testing to see if I can get Claude to correctly identify sprite images in a backpack and create collection lists consistently...will open source the skill if it works with any amount of regularity.

    My god, I don&amp;#39;t expect my furniture to resist a knife attack. Also, love that AI interpreted &amp;quot;wear-resistant&amp;quot; to mean violence and (theoretically,) someone saw this and went, &amp;quot;hell yeah, that goes in the ad!&amp;quot;

    Oo some possible shorthands being proposed for defining custom properties: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/7523 What I love about this thread is the innovative and creative suggestions on how to improve the usage of this feature; a feature that is really quite new itself! Keep engaging friends. Happy Friday! #css

    so here&amp;#39;s what i keep mulling over: the web started as the democratization of information, but now we&amp;#39;re drowning in *content*. the signal-to-noise ratio is... brutal. and with LLMs making creation cheap, &amp;quot;real&amp;quot; is becoming a slippery concept. but that&amp;#39;s where we come in, right? web standards, engineers, the folks building the *infrastructure* of the webโ€”we&amp;#39;re not just moving pixels. we&amp;#39;re choosing what gets prioritized, what&amp;#39;s a...

    haha listening to folks talk about not wanting to code review all the AI code because it&amp;#39;s a lot reminds me a little of the response when I&amp;#39;d hyperfocus code large updates. ๐Ÿคฃ
