      ✨ I just published a new post, and it’s all about one of the most mind-blowing new CSS features: subgrid.
      
      Honestly, when I first heard about subgrid, I figured it’d be a convenient little utility. I had no idea it would solve one of the most longstanding issues I’ve had with CSS. 😮

      this reminds me of a friend who thought he was middle class so he donated his car to a charity that helps poor people and a month later, he saw his car at his neighbor's house
      Iashishranjann on Twitter writes: "i’m so fuckin middle class that i used to think H&M and zara is a luxury brand"

The tweet generated a long discussion on Twitter about how this person is not actually middle-class.

      There's a hope that non-deterministic flows will necessitate even more scrutiny, validation, and strong engineering practices. In practice, only the most mature organizations that spend as much time on technical initiatives as new features can accomplish this. In reality, it's mostly a pipe dream.

      spent the day researching how to get an emergency power of attorney for a parent in a hospital out of state on a holiday weekend and then he didn't want to give it to me because I'm the irresponsible one. I'm responsible for systems that make that hospital run, but ok Dad
