Today’s Coding Progress: Completed the freeCodeCamp certification project, “Learn CSS Flexbox by Building a Photo Gallery.”
Thoughts: This is where my conceptual understanding of CSS starts to fall apart. I’m definitely going to dig deeper into this topic before I move on at freeCodeCamp.
Later-coding update from Monday:
Today’s Progress: Completed the freeCodeCamp certification project, “Learn the CSS Box Model by Building a Rothko Painting.”
Thoughts: The basics of the box model were already quite familiar, but I really appreciated the reminder that we now have CSS properties (and have for a very long time) for things like making drop shadows, blurring, rounding corners, and rotating. Again, these are not new properties, but my internal sense of CSS is based on CSS 2.0 circa 2002, so these are useful reminders.
It’s just a terrible time for timelines. I’m mostly hanging out in my email inbox and Discord these days.

I played Spyro the Dragon (Reignited Trilogy version) and had fun but 3D games mostly give me motion sickness so now I feel gross. Uninstalled and will try Kirby Super Star tomorrow. 🎮

Nothing is inevitable. Do not be alone and do not be dismayed. Find someone who is doing something you admire and join them.
🔖 Read How to organize under authoritarian creep in a closing civil society.
This is my playbook moving forward.
