The "shadow boundary" is probably the coolest named feature/concept in all of web development.

We hit another huge milestone yesterday morning — 3,000 subscribers! 🤯

That’s honestly pretty crazy, especially considering I’ve been MIA for the last six months. I’ll share more on that soon, but the truth is these past six months have been an extremely tough season for me and my family. We’re still in it and have a ways to go, but we’re moving forward with hope and optimism.

I’ve also been working behind the scenes to make my video creation process a little easier by setting up a dedicated space for recording and editing. It’s basically a small studio in my garage, and I’m really excited to start using it soon.

If you’ve been subscribed for a while or joined sometime in the last six months, I just want to take a moment to say thank you. I really appreciate the continued support, especially while I’ve been away.

I’ll be getting back into making videos soon, and I can’t wait to reconnect with you all in an upcoming video.

Thank you again. This is just the beginning. 🚀

Here's a fun CSS selector from a project I'm currently working on:

element:not(:has(:hover)):hover {
/* apply style */
}

Anyone want to take a guess as to what this does?

Hey everyone—just wanted to share a quick update since I’ve been pretty quiet here these past few months.

On April 10th, our life took a turn we never expected when our son Alex was diagnosed with cancer.

What started as a mild cough turned out to be something far more serious—a germ cell tumor that had spread into his upper body.

I made a video for my other channel (‪@EachAdventure‬) sharing the full story. It’s a bit different from the usual content I post here, but I talk through the events leading up to that day, what’s happened since the diagnosis, and the incredible support Alex has received as he fights this battle.

As for this channel, I’ve started working on some outlines and plan to get back to making videos soon. I just wanted to provide this update and share a bit of what our family has been navigating these past few months.

Thank you all so much for the continued support. 🙏 I’ll see you soon in a future video.
