Finally rolled credits on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth after 177 hours!! Definitely want to return to see some of the story branches I haven’t explored and the few collectibles I missed, but I don’t think I can see myself getting the platinum trophy on this one. The hard mode combat challenges are just too much work.
Just discovered a fascinating little story in the CSS world.
There was a last minute change of mind about whether container-type: inline-size
(i.e. Container Queries) should create a stacking context or not. As of right now, the CSS spec says yes, but Chrome 129 switched to no. Apparently all browsers (and the spec) will soon be updated to this new behavior, but right now major browsers are not interoperable on this. Article with great demos and CSS-WG issue links.
I freed up a ton of disk space on my Mac by enabling “Optimize Mac Storage” in Photos. But because I’ll never entirely trust a cloud service with such precious data, I’ve set up iCloud Photos Downloader on my Synology NAS to keep a full offline copy of all my photos.
There will be no material changes to the Pixelmator Pro, Pixelmator for iOS, and Photomator apps at this time. Stay tuned for exciting updates to come.

I know I’m a grown-up because my recurring stress dream has changed from “I forgot to study for the Chemistry final” to “I forgot to return the rental car”.

Tailwind CSS and Traditional CSS Solve Different Problems
Tailwind CSS’s core idea is that 99% of the CSS we write today is unnecessary repetition, that would be better expressed with a higher-level language inline with our HTML, tight coupling with which is inevitable. Even if you like CSS and enjoy writing and maintaining it [which I do –Kev], Tailwind argues that this is usually not a good use of our time.

Know your tools
Technology is a superpower. Make it work for you.
One of the gifts of a career in software development is the ability to automate away your own problems with custom software. I love to explore the little-known features and extension points in the technology I use, particularly in the Apple ecosystem.
Assume ChatGPT is Lying
In an industry where expertise is currency, a tool that lets us all pretend to be experts to each other is very dangerous indeed.
