💡 CSS Tip!
Do you know safe alignment? It's when you make sure your overflowing content is always fully accessible on scroll regardless of the alignment configuration.
css-tip.com/safe-align/
It's not something new but you are probably not aware about it.

Step into 1995: when the web got images, JavaScript, and visual dev tools. This is how it all began, where it went wrong, and how it's still going wrong today.

For years, one of the most befuddling things for me in CSS was how “height: 100%” would sometimes just not work. Every time I tried to use it was a roll of the dice. 😅
Like everything else in CSS, though, it all makes perfect sense when we understand the underlying mechanism. ✨

Well that gives one answer to my question "how is maintenance in Clojure?"
I've started learning Clojure (and Doom Emacs). I'm starting to see the vision, but I'm still too slow.
Surprisingly, I don't miss my static types that much because of how easy it is to instantly check what you're doing via the in-editor REPL.
I wonder how this holds up when doing maintenance.
