Been really enjoying it this year, even with the reduced days. I never stick around long enough to finish it anyway. 😅

Everyone seems to be awfully upset about tailwind or css lately.

Maybe this article will make you a little more excited about it? `:has()` is cool.

Back in the day, Twitter used to be really good if I set up a thread to connect freelancers with clients. Let's see if Bluesky can do it.

Clients: if you're looking for freelancers/contractors, get in the comments

Freelancers/contractors: get in comments

Everyone else: boosts appreciated

Second day bouldering at the gym ever. My fingers are weak and slabs make me feel dumb.

Can't wait to come back! ⛰️

If you're in the north DFW metroplex, I've finally found an exceptional decaf: edisoncoffeeco.com near downtown lewisville.

I love their ethiopia decaf, it grinds, brews and tastes fantastic. They sell sell 2/5lb bags, too.

Check em out, they're awesome.

This is safe, right?
