Hey friends,

Why are writers always cold?

They’re surrounded by drafts.

(Seriously tho, my draft folder is out of control... 😬)

Words I Wrote ✍️

Speaking of writing, this is my 100th Newsletter Issue!

Yep, I've been at it for nearly 2 years now, so I took some time to talk about things I've learned about writing along the way.

Interesting Web Bits 🍜

Web Stuff

• A nice technique for an infinite scrolling logo marquee with CSS.
• Maggie Appleton has a interesting take on how chatbot sycophancy might be undermining Enlightenment values. Makes you think... (which is her point!)
• Miriam Suzanne talks about Cascade Layers.
• Una, as usual, details an exciting new CSS feature dropping soon that helps create a "scroll spy" effect.
• Peter Pistorius rolls in with the spicy take that SPA's aren't needed with modern browser capabilities. I'm still convinced there exists a use case for SPA's (long sessions, high amounts of user changes, offline support, etc) but it's exciting to see all these shiny new features land in browsers!

Other Stuff

• This guy gets it: "I'll give up Neovim when you pry it from my cold, dead hands".
• Ben Holman spent 6 years building a "ridiculous wooden pixel display".
• Draw a fish, watch it swim! 🐟
• A fascinating look into the visual reasoning of Bluey's environment.
