Compare Google Fonts side-by-side with anatomy overlays, OpenType metrics, pairing scores, and ready-to-use CSS.

Putting into words why something feels right trains your ability to articulate your judgment, a skill that will be incredibly valuable in the AI era.

Done isn't a checkbox. It's a stance. You are saying, in public, I have decided to accept these variances, I have planned for these failure modes, and I have rehearsed how I'll respond when the variances I didn't anticipate show up anyway.

Error hiding is not error prevention. Which is why the accept attribute is so bad.

For a long time, if you wanted to style the space between items in a grid or flex layout, you had to fake it.

A sine wave is more organic than a straight line — but it's uniform — which isn't organic. We can fix this by combining sine waves with different properties.

When your explicit goal is to attract a completely different buyer with an entirely different product that shares almost nothing with your decades of history, you're going to alienate the people who loved what you had before.

Netflix spent years building their experiment platform. You have the tools and a weekend. The hard part is not spinning things up. It is tearing them down cleanly when the idea fails.

While at Notion, he's developed a workflow where he prototypes directly in code, ships frontend PRs, and uses AI tools like Cursor to own the final polish of user interfaces.

What changed is that you no longer have to know how to write code. You have to know how to read it, and that one shift is the whole reason this page exists.

Spawning agents is not the skill. Anyone can run 20. The real skill is designing the system around the one serial resource that cannot be cloned or paralellized.

Good typography is the bedrock of good design. In some cases, it is the design.

Reframes, evidence, and practical strategies to help designers convince teams to invest in accessibility.

The moment we define our value by how fast we can build something, we have already lost.

Like most LLM-powered tools, though, the technology feels like it swings between amazingly capable and completely clueless.

Deciding what something should feel. Writing the relational stance a product takes toward its users. Defining what it refuses to do, and why. Encoding the emotional logic of a flow so that an agent can render it a thousand times without losing the thread.

Centering is nothing but a special case of alignment in CSS, and alignment is a complex world.

Early testers have found Claude Opus 4.8 to be more reliable and sharper in its judgement when it's performing agentic tasks.

50 hand-picked Claude Code skills drawn from five excellent open-source collections.

The trap isn't AI. The trap is that 7 is easier to reach than it's ever been, and 7 feels like enough.

Ready-made examples build upon the configurable component asset that all catalogs start with.

Design disposables are the things you create not to deliver to anyone, but to help yourself think.

Build, customize, and deploy production agents that reason, execute code, and manage files inside secure Linux sandboxes as a single API call.
