My biggest regret in life is not putting 405 on the bar instead of 400 on this day back in 2015.

Something I've started doing lately is moving all of my styles to the root element. This keeps all of the styling in one place, and keeps the rest of my code super clean ✨ 😏

Spent the last 2.5 hours on my hands and knees smoothing out every connection in the interlocking rubber floor tiles in my gym with a tiny screwdriver. Even in the age of AI it’s still satisfying to do the brainless tedious work yourself sometimes.

Sneak peek at some stuff 🫣 This is our local development environment where we can compare what the models generate by default to what they generate with our opinions layered in. So much more to do, but already obvious improvements from just focusing on little details like hanging punctuation, card content alignment, lighting/elevation cues, and edge highlighting of avatars.

Saw Sam Selikoff and Ryan Toronto launched a $149 lifetime pricing option for Build UI and immediately grabbed myself an account 💪 Super underrated pricing model for content businesses in my opinion — going to do a whole podcast episode on it soon.

Brought back the ability to copy colors from the Tailwind docs — regular click will copy the OKLCH value, shift+click will copy the nearest hex value 👍🏻 Useful for Figma and stuff, or to just steal our colors and use them with some other CSS framework you hate less.

For the hat trick, here's my third horrible Safari bug of the day… Registering custom properties with the right type causes this element to change height for a second on hover 👍 So I guess we can't support gradient transitions in v4 🫠

She was by herself with the baby, came home and wasn’t feeling well and had zero memory of anything happening, she just thought she came home because she was feeling dizzy. Couldn’t find her phone later in the afternoon, tracked it and found it in the stroller which she had left behind on the walk and had no idea she did it. She carried the baby home in her arms after the seizure and has no memory of doing that at all. Was down for 8 minutes with the baby before finally managing to get to her feet and stumble home. By pure luck our neighbors caught it on their security camera, scariest thing I’ve ever watched 😣 So scary that this can just happen to anyone with no warning. Hopefully just a freak thing 😰

Jumped on the mic with DHH to record a spur of the moment podcast about Omarchy, and how the fuck you even start designing your own operating system on top of Arch Linux?! Super fun chat as always.

🎧 Last week I talked to Justin Jackson about the big hiring project we just wrapped up at Tailwind Labs — 1600 people applied for the roles. We hired two people, and neither of them actually applied. Not how I expected it to go — lots of surprising takeaways and lessons learned.
