The Second Best Time is Now
A little #sliceoflife post that rolls through my head frequently.
Yep, I don’t like rules but the one rule that I do enforce is that people take rest when they are tired or sick.
It’s the best way to prevent good #developers from writing bad #code.
I'm on my own for the next three days, work wise. Everyones gone on holiday, so I'm left triaging both frontend and backend bugs.

Also uses container queries, CSS trigonometric functions.
I just debugged someone else's code, that I have only seen once via a screen share in December or January.
The worst part about that is that I have nobody around me who understands just how cool that actually is.
In #Serverless's defence, it's an excellent framework. Really well thought out.
The problem is the pricing. $4 a service, per environment. If you've gone hard serverless, and you make some money, what was cheap to run suddenly becomes much more expensive.

The more I make something using AlpineJS, the more I like it.
Sometimes you don't need to figure it out with Vue. You only need some AlpineJS magic and that's it, no need to spin up a whole Vue framework on the page.
Add that to Livewire and Filament PHP and you're all set to create small utilities without hacking your way into the frontend.

You can find a very detailed explanation about the how behind in my Taming Blend Modes: `difference` and `exclusion` article on @csstricks https://css-tricks.com/taming-blend-modes-difference-and-exclusion/
And here are cards with gradual left to right inversion: from no inversion at all on the left, to full inversion on the right. Again, minimal code, single div, no pseudos necessary, 2 #CSS declarations.

Here's another set of cards with varying patterns, all created with the exact same 4 blended CSS gradients, it's just the stops list `--c` that changes for each card.
So basically, it's again just one `background` + one `background-blend-mode` property.

And here's a cards demo with a cool, yet very simple trick: these left to right gradients are vibrant at the top, but then progressively get more and more desaturated going down, until fully grey.

A much newer @codepen demo: smoothly connected cards https://codepen.io/thebabydino/pen/azbLBJy - continuous backgrounds across all, concave roundings + drop shadows, responsivity.
