The cool thing about StyleStage.dev is if you despise the color scheme I picked - or anything else - you can submit a stylesheet that changes it to your design preference! Practice your modern CSS skills and show off your creativity, submissions are always open!

I once called myself a front-end developer which seemed legit for my expertise. Now every interview expects me to prove I am capable by writing JS that bends the fabric of time. What happened to responsive design, semantics, user experience, accessibility, perf at all levels?

A neat way of using CSS custom properties to style external SVG nodes (no more inling necessary to achieve the same). Screenshot from Lightning-fast Web Performance by @scottjehl. Original idea by @frontstuff_io in this article: frontstuff.io/multi-colored-…

@scottjehl Hi. I am impressed by your neat way of using CSS custom properties to style external SVG (as shown in one of your Lightning-Fast Web Peformance videos). Have you documented this anywhere such as a blog post? Haven't seen it before. Worth sharing

Oops, sorry. I was so impressed I didn't go the three extras seconds into the video to see you reference a blog post. Nevermind. Thanks for the vids!

Considering whether it's time to ditch Front-end Developer from my job title and replace with UI Developer. The latter is not as appreciated but front-end dev is too saturated in JS and often bad solutions arise because of it. My interest lies in good user experience

Interested to hear from devs what your performance score is in Lighthouse 6.1 versus old (especially JS heavy websites). I think many sites are going to find a major dip in performance score. Let me know what you find
I'm convinced my website's performance score in Google Lighthouse has dropped drastically compared to last week. Anyone finding the same? I was up in the 90s. Now getting 60s without any changes to site.

I believe the Lighthouse 6.1 update that diagnoses main-thread-blocking tasks is the cause of a big dip in page performance on my Gatsby site. Unfortunately it looks like this is going to be a problem with all Gatsby sites (plus any with JS in one large packet)
