To the people with #CSSDay FOMO - you're not missing out.
It's terrible, the people suck, the conversations are boring, the talks are rubbish.
CSS is lame, the web platform needs fixing with layers upon layers of JS, I miss Flash, bring back Dreamweaver, websites should be images with clickable regions.
You're fine. Enjoy whatever it is you're doing instead, we're having an awful time.
From years of being bored, unsatisfied, or struggling in various jobs and industries, I finally feel like I have come home.
I'm so happy to join an industry with such brilliant, interesting, and gloriously nerdy people - I mean this in the best possible way!
I have attended both Beyond Tellerrand Düsseldorf and CSS Day 2024 and, wow. Huge thank yous to the organisers, speakers, and to the many warm and funny fellow attendees I had the joy to socialise with.
This is my church.
Re @stubbornella and special language within companies (her example was 🐑 for "ship/sheep it"):
People in my company in Germany react with a 🇬🇧 on any announcement of someone being off sick.
The code for this in slack is :flag-gb:
German for "get well soon" is "Gute Besserung". GB. Great Britain.
Front-end.social peeps want to do a team photo?! #cssday
@stubbornella ooooh gosh I reckon we should name the hypothetical 2D masonry variant "drystone"
Note to self, or everyone: Do not use CSS to create meaningful content.
Omg. @SaraSoueidan's material is dense and fast and great and my brain is busy.
When the video comes out I will certainly share it.
My world is complete. @kevinpowell started his talk with "Hello my front end friends!"
In her closing talk @stubbornella is asking for input of what we want out of our Masonry CSS properties.
I feel like we could forever get input into how it should work, and the CSSWG might be able to put something out that covers 99% of wants...
BUT as soon as it's released with whatever constraints it may have - the people that have ideas and can bend CSS to their will (paging @stephenhay and @kizu!) will start subverting it to do something new and different!
Bring it on :)
Yessssss.
Amazing how much backlash and stress @kevinpowell was put under from just using min() and margin-inline!
