This article was originally drafted in 2024 but I struggled to finish it then. I was stuck wondering if I was just moaning over the past. Recently, Salma and Jo both shared thoughts that gave me the rage and energy to come back to this....
A couple of weeks ago we took a little break. The first adults-only break since my daughter was born. For that reason, we decided to do something that was quite close to home. I am still was quite nervous about being far away from her...
So I’ve been thinking, when was the last time I’ve experienced some sort of burnout from a community. And I had forgotten that tech was not my only interest, or the only thing I’ve been deeply enthralled with. While I started making...
I am deeply frustrated with my inability to stick to the plan and do this post once a month. But I will really make an effort from now on because the more I delay the more links (and tabs) pile on and I end up not being able to share...
The last time I wrote a year in review was in 2019. I ended it with “have a healthy 2020” and we all know how that went. Since it does feel like we’ve been living in hell since 2020 I somehow stopped writing yearly reviews. But I have...
I am back from Berlin after spending a few days last week at Beyond Tellerrand where I was a speaker! It was my first time attending as well. Before that, in September, I did the same talk in Freiburg at Smashing Conference. In both...

The State of CSS Survey results recently came out and I was asked what I was my pick of the year in the CSS world and turns out I had an opinion. I told Sacha, My pick of the year is all the font clamp generators that people have been...

Last year I spoke at Open UK about my IndieWeb journey. I've posted the slides on Notist but I finally sat down to pick up the transcription and tidy it up on my blog. The base of this post was a transcript of my presentation but some...
Exactly two months I shared that I was about to do a little "summer tour" of my a talk about refactoring CSS. And I did! I spoke at CSS Day, Middlesbrough Front End and Pixel Pioneers in three weeks and it was scary and wonderful, very...
Some weeks ago Oliver from Pixel Pioneers asked me: "How did you come up with the idea for your upcoming Pixel Pioneers talk, and what can we expect to take away from it?". This is my answer: Around two years ago I realised that I was...
Last week, I spent a few days in Leeds attending All Day Hey again, a brilliant conference for developers, designers and tech leads. This conference is part of my holy-grail of community-led conferences that I purchase tickets for...
For a while now, I've been slowing working on a refactor of the codebase of this blog. At one point, I got caught in exciting world of performance and I wanted to make sure I had a super fast pageload. Currently, my CSS is added inline...
