I don't think how Vibe Coding changes things for marketers gets talked about enough. So much of marketing used to be rationed, begging for engineering resources to get things done. Now you can hop in your IDE and ask your LLM to make the changes and see them done within the same hour. I run the @QAwithIto blog and have: - Designed & shipped my own custom floating social share buttons just how I want them - Fixed a bug with our custom HackerNews share button so it turns into an upvote button after someone submits the post - Added custom URLs and image widths to post images as new fields in San… LLMs Related

Web standards author and speaker; wrote the CSS: The Definitive Guide series and co-founded the An Event Apart conference.
I made this floating-scrollbar #CSS demo as the result of a discussion we had in today’s Front-End Study Hall: https://codepen.io/editor/meyerweb/pen/01a0b0bd-0100-750d-8c24-745f6318896d I don’t know if it’s actually a good idea to do something like this (probably not), and it has a few styling limitations (no drop shadows or glows), but it was interesting to try to hit a design brief with clipping paths and the relatively new `shape()` value.

The 2nd floating bridge access Lake Washington opened in 1963 (pictured here upper right). People called it the new bridge. A 3rd new bridge was then built next to the oldest bridge. A 4th new bridge was built next to the original bridge. Great wind barriers for water skiing. America Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
