CSS is different from other languages, and while that can seem frustrating and leads to a lot of people complaining about it, there’s a good reason that it is the way it is. In this episode, I explore how and why it’s different, and how we can overcome the frustrations we run into with CSS by adopting the right mindset when authoring our stylesheets. 🔗 What I’ve been up to this week: A quick guide to CSS focus states: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apdD69J4bEc I just wasted a day on this code, was it worth it? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6wJVPUZw2o Is this the strangest CSS solution out there? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/X5wu2p-trEk 🔗Other awesome stuff around the web: The State of HTML survey: https://survey.devographics.com/en-US/survey/state-of-html/2023?source=kevin_powell Jen Simmon’s talk Everything You Know About Web Design Just Changed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBwBACbRuGY Jen Simmon’s talk Designing Intrinsic Layouts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMPKmh98XLY My primary YouTube channel where I teach frontend development, with a strong focus on CSS: https://youtube.com/@kevinpowell ✉ The written version of my newsletter: https://www.kevinpowell.co/newsletter 💬 Come hang out with other dev's in my Discord Community: https://discord.gg/nTYCvrK Help support my channel 👨‍🎓 Get a course: https://www.kevinpowell.co/courses 👕 Buy a shirt: https://teespring.com/stores/making-the-internet-awesome 💖 Support me on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/kevinpowell
