// 100% artisanal handcrafted home-brewed CSS

Finally talked about this blog on socials. Was scared but it went well, lots of ppl saying nice things. 190+ page views on the first day.

I need to get better at talking about my stuff. Not only online, but to people in general. 

Went overtime with F&B Tools, so no time for Vue Devs today. But it's alright! I get so much satisfaction working on F&BT, because I code it by hand and it satisfies the artist in me. I call this an "art project" because 
  • I built it from the ground up, line by line
  • I don't care if it doesn't make money
  • I only care about how it looks and works

Was stuck with a particularly stubborn CSS issue (horizontal table scroll). Claude (AI coding assistant) went around in circles for an hour and got no closer to a working solution. I know it's not me because I'm good at mansplaining things to a machine.

In the end, solved it using Every Layout's "Reel" solution. The feeling of being able to DIY was 🤌 *chef's kiss*

btw if you want to learn to write better, resilient CSS - I recommend it. 

If you find yourself wrestling with CSS layout, it’s likely you’re making decisions for browsers they should be making themselves.

Through a series of simple, composable layouts, Every Layout will teach you how to better harness the built-in algorithms that power browsers and CSS.
