Tailwind Workshop on 7/29 (2 hours - $150)

Is Tailwind a good fit for your project? This workshop serves to provide a technical overview of how Tailwind solves many issues that occur in more traditional CSS strategies...

If you hired someone who always "knew the answer to everything" or at least acted like they did, you'd be annoyed.

I don't give AI a pass because it's not human, it's still annoying, and wrong way too often

Know anyone, any teams, that are exploring CSS strategies and what to hear more about Tailwind as a possibility for their stack? We have a new 2-hour workshop they might like

Yea dude, I've bought 3 houses and I learn a little more each time. This is _your_ time to make sure the house is in good condition, the home inspector is the bare minimum for the bank to approve. Get as much visit time and nichΓ© inspections as you can

a proper AC company to come out, they gave the AC an F rating and this would have been 12k to replace so we actually moved on. We also got a plumber and a roof inspection. They all went way above and beyond what the home inspector does

Oh dang, I caught you at the right time. Inspectors look for a limited list of things that meet local code, they do not look for quality. For example, they'll make sure an AC turns on and blows at 50Β°, but they're not doing a proper AC inspection. We were in our 10 day inspection period and paid...

Yea, they awkwardly dance around the "lets not recommend SPAs without actually saying it" thing

We were cleaning Chinas clock economically. Many predicted they would surpass us by now, and they haven’t.

But this tariff stuff will close the gap. Idiots

Remove chrome's auto fill styling that makes your forms ugly (yellow or blue backgrounds) when someone uses the autofill

SPA users. Because of lazy loading, your users might get a smaller JavaScript payload initially but now they wait twice as long for pages to load because they wait for JS then wait for data. Loading data outside your component with lazy loading reacttraining.com/blog/spa-laz...
