Yet Another Newsletter LOL: Gail

Another week, another newsletter. Let’s get to it!

Around the Web

• Everything Josh Comeau does is amazing, and his latest post is well… amazing! How To Learn Stuff Quickly
• Practical Use Cases for Scroll-Linked Animations in CSS with Scroll Timelines
• A Step-By-Step Process for Turning Designs Into Code care of Mark Noonan (one of my friends from my Virtual Coffee community)
• If you’re a VS Code fan, check out Easier browser debugging with Developer Tools integration in Visual Studio Code
• I don’t know how new this feature is, but GMail allows you to create appointment slots in Google Calendar now. Currently it’s only available for work or school accounts. As someone who uses Calendly, I might check this out.

Fun Stuff

This is what happens when you mistype gmail.com in the browser. I give you gail.com.

Words of Wisdom for the Week

At some point I made the decision to focus on foundational concepts; not features of a particular implementation; my tech career took off.

Until the next issue!
