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.
I'm on vacation in Italy but I'm also having #cssday FOMO. Couldn't think of a better snack to cope with that than Giotto Stroopwafel edition. Best of both worlds! 😁
Legend says that if you *just* add enough 9's to z-index, you can break out of the stacking context (and out of your device screen entirely) #cssday
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
Going home after a very successful #cssday . It was the last of @KrijnHoetmer , but not my last one.
Next year, shall we do it again?
@stubbornella ooooh gosh I reckon we should name the hypothetical 2D masonry variant "drystone"
My world is complete. @kevinpowell started his talk with "Hello my front end friends!"
Note to self, or everyone: Do not use CSS to create meaningful content.
