Folks, this is huge. It may even be the biggest advance in CSS in the last 15+ years. Yup, even bigger than Flexbox, grid, CSS variables, or container queries.

I wanted to refocus on my team's most important meetings, 1:1s. Have put together a list of areas to focus on but will try and keep the casual conversation aspect too: anthonydillon.com/refocusing…

We just published a presentation & discussion @anthonydillon made with @canonical's Web & Design team. It's unpolished & stuttering with pauses and inaccuracies. But I'm still kinda proud of it. Give it a listen! Thanks for your help @communiteatime! youtube.com/watch?v=nLGkKgu3…

We’ve been quiet for a while, but we're very excited and happy to announce that we've just published the new major release v3.0 of the Vanilla framework. You can read more about it in our article on the Ubuntu blog: ubuntu.com/blog/release-of-v…

If there is something you have been putting off doing. Sit next to it and start compliance training -- Before you know if you'll be doing the thing you've been putting off.

How much faster is it to develop using a design system's component library vs building from scratch? That's what the smart folks at @hearsparkbox set out to quantify. Super clever! sparkbox.com/foundry/design_…
The Value of Design Systems Study: Developer Efficiency and Design Consistency

The Value of Design Systems Study: Developer Efficiency and Design Consistency

We tested the ROI of design systems and found that they increase developer efficiency, create design consistency, and might even have an impact on the accessibility of the code.

Can anyone recommend a web dev bootcamp? My brother wants to learn and hopefully get into the industry. I have told him to just start building websites.

We just released an exploration I've been wanting to do for a while: ✨✨ Can we visualize a codebase? ✨✨ We always look at our code in a file/folder list - what would a bird's-eye-view look like, and how could that enhance our understanding of code? octo.github.com/projects/rep…

🧵 Hiring managers: there’s no reason to force people with 10+ years experience to take coding tests. You can’t last 10 years if you can’t ship code. Here are some better approaches.
