Thank you for the comment! As for testing, it can be a bit tricky since you're not a bot. Google will look at things like mouse movement, scroll hesitation, your browser user-agent, IP address, etc, to determine that. Probably the best way is to see if you have a drop in spam. If you're really techy, you could set up a Python script and use Selenium to test the page, but honestly, if there's no errors in the console, and your spam is reduced, that's probably proof enough. I know it can be annoying though!

I love flexbox, but I hate math. In my mind, if you have a multi-column layout, and you set a gap of 20px, I shouldn’t have to subtract that from the child’s flex just to get it to display correctly. It seems counter intuitive. For example, with CSS columns, I…

Originally the script did cache it, and there probably is a benefit in doing so. However, if you're using this in a staging environment, that cache is pain because you'll have to clear the file between page loads. If it had some kind of dynamic listener like Sass has in VS Code, then I can see it. Otherwise, you'd have to compile the files and compare it with the cached version to update it. That defeats the purpose. Would it be better to cache it? Yes. But how to keep that cache updated would be challenging. I think about it daily!

I shouldn’t say that SASS is dying, but with the recent universal (~79%) support for CSS nesting, the days of CSS pre-processors is coming to an end. Because of this, the company I am with decided our local stack won’t be using SASS anymore. …

For eons, PHP has been the powerhouse of the web. According to W3Tech, as of 2023, 77.5% of all websites are running PHP. However, that number has been going down in recent years. For example, in 2022, it was 78.9% instead. This drop is due to JavaScript taking the place…

If you’re looking to create landing pages of your website, you’ve probably considered Unbounce. Unbounce is the leading industry for landing page creation. It’s a bit pricey though, with their cheaper “Launch” plan at a whooping $90 USD a month. (What costs so much? Their fancy warp-speed launch animation? …

CSS has been around since 1996. That’s a lot time, and a lot of things naturally change. But, normally CSS changes pretty slowly. For example, it took almost 10 years for border-radius to get fully supported 👴 But the past year has seen an explosion of new CSS features, and…

In the past few months PyScript has been the talk of the programmer town. PyScript allows developers to run Python in the browser — something primarily done via JavaScript. With the advent of Web Assembly, however, more and more programming languages are coming to the web. But the concept of…

I didn't know JSFiddle embeds like that! I'm going to start using that for my tutorials instead of Codepen. Nice tutorial and thanks for showing that!
