Over on the second channel, this week I spent some time talking about modern css, with some talk on grid-lanes, random(), the range syntax coming to style queries and if(), and some general thoughts on modern css in general https://youtu.be/lLY6DLzuiaU

QUIZ TIME! When using CSS Grid's repeat() syntax, which of these will continue making new columns, even if there aren't any elements to place in them (in other words, it will potentially create empty columns).

New video up on the second channel, where I talked with Adam Argyle about his adventures in trying to land a new job after being let go by Google. He shares how hard it was to even get interviews, how so many interviews are broken, and some of the positive experiences he had along the way as well.

On Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, I'm giving a workshop with Frontend Masters called Modern CSS Fundamentals.

This isn't just a "here's how flexbox works" type of workshop. We're going to dive into why CSS behaves the way it does, exploring the mental models and systematic principles that make everything click into place.


You'll learn to build responsive layouts with confidence, troubleshoot problems effectively, and implement any design without guesswork.

It's a live workshop, so you can ask questions in real-time. Once edited, it becomes a full course you can revisit at your own pace. Frontend Masters requires a membership, but you can sign up for just one month for less than $30 USD with the coupon code POWELL at checkout, which should be applied automatically with this link frontendmasters.com/workshops/modern-css/?utm_sour… (affiliate link, which helps me keep making free content).

I haven't created something this comprehensive covering CSS fundamentals before, and I'm really proud of how it's come together. Hope to see you there!

Working on something about positioning and found my positioning in 60 seconds short... I'm so happy that we have longer shorts now, but the time constraint was good for this one I think, lol - youtube.com/shorts/jFcWa9kiOH...

Over on the second channel, I had a great conversation with Henri Helvetica. If you don't know Henri, he's a performance engineer, but also highly involved in the developer community at large and who does a lot of work in the meetup and conference spaces. https://youtu.be/NCVoVNQ8-3U
