Spent $89 on a color palette generator subscription, then realized my $2.50 thrift store paint chips from the ReStore in Dayton did the exact same thing

Unpopular opinion: script fonts on food truck menus are fine, but a client fight over one cost me 6 hours last Saturday

Serious question: is `gap` making us lazy with flexbox, or did we earn it?

spare tire" is a good way to put it, mine is a folder of clearfix snippets

My buddy runs a 2 bay shop in Parma and got 6 cars in one Tuesday after a hailstorm, he just told his regulars they were looking at Friday and knocked out the insurance jobs first since those folks were stuck without rides. Worked out fine, nobody really cared once he explained it.

TIL that grid-template-areas breaks when you use the same name twice in one row

The "browser just silently picked one and the whole grid went sideways" part hits way too close to home, been there with a product page last month. Ngl I just keep my area names short and scan the template string by eye now, but a linter would be nice if anyone's got one.
