I have a new article out on @frontendmasters.com: Non-Square Image Blur Extensions frontendmasters.com/blog/non-squ...
It details the how behind creating the base effect with a single `img` element and only 4 #CSS declarations, then... well, check the article, I promise you'll learn something new!

It’s probably not the best time to enter the text-box-trim rabbit hole 😅
Anyway, I learned a couple of things about text-box-edge that might be useful in the future!

When you don’t code often, it’s easy to forget how useful @polypane.app is for web development. It highlights issues that might get overlooked on a first pass, and it makes testing and debugging a piece of cake. Forever grateful for your effort, @kilianvalkhof.com!

This post is a mirror worth reflecting on. Hard, but necessary.
However, I must also say that the path of architecture is incredibly challenging in our current reality: no one has the time to help you invest in change, and there are some harsh biases you must confront. It drains your life.

Designers are always inventing new titles. Web designer, UI designer, UX designer, UX/UI designer, Product designer, UX/AI designer (???)
These are all the same!
As long as your work is mediated entirely by Figma and Jira, you are just a production artist. Here's how to get out of that racket.

Without UX governance, your app turns to "sludge"
Break out of the feature delivery mindset and attend to the architecture and maintenance of the product.

A pertinent question to ask ourselves: When did we decide that going faster is more important than everything else?
Above all else, AI is an accelerant.
That makes it really important for us to look at the world around us right now and ask: do we want to keep doing this, but faster? If not, what are the necessary interruptions?

I have no regrets about switching to Apple Music a couple of years ago, but I did miss Spotify’s fantastic music recommendations. I’m starting to feel that Apple is finally improving in this area.
