I’ve long found it hard to fathom the actual benefit of Bitcoin. I struggle with the actual usefulness of the blockchain in general, so I read this with a bias opinion, admittedly.
I did give cryptocurrency a look last year when it spiked, but it felt like a game more than a serious currency. Regardless, I think it could provide use in terms of privacy, maybe.
Get a nice, tight line height on your headings. Especially if you’ve got a large font size. Depending on the font, I like to come in between 1.1 and 1.25.
A tight line-height will make your headings look so much neater when they break on to multiple lines. This is especially the case on small screens.
Holy moly, the great posts are really flying in at the moment. A fabulous article here by Kevin Ball.
A quote:
“But the incredible success of the web is based on an architecture of least power, taking advantage of how many more machine optimizations can be made around the less powerful languages of HTML and CSS.”

A really nice write-up by my pal Lara.
“It might be frustrating when I can’t always work on what I want when I want (and it’s not like I did that before this job anyway…), but that’s a trade-off for working on a team and on bigger projects. It doesn’t work for one person to just pick up and switch gears at the drop of a hat. Lesson learned.”

This is straight-up required reading. I'll share my favourite quote from the article:
“Frameworks and tooling need to explain clearly, in small words, with reproducible instructions how they deliver under-budget experiences, how much room is left after their budgetary cost, and what devices and networks their tools are appropriate in. This will mean that many popular tools are relegated to prototyping. That’s OK.”
Fabulous work by Alex.
