    Change the content on your page based on the light level in the room using the Ambient Light API. You can play around with the sensor.illuminance value in the pen to switch at different levels. Give it a try: s.codepen.io/mandymichael/dโ€ฆ See the code: codepen.io/mandymichael/pโ€ฆ

    When I started my first job as a Front End Developer I was also doing design work. Less than a year in I got a new boss, he told me I had to choose between design or development, I wasn't allowed to do both. Don't be that guy.

    The struggle with loving CSS & HTML is that designers donโ€™t accept you because youโ€™re โ€œnot a designerโ€ and the developers donโ€™t accept you because youโ€™re โ€œnot a developerโ€. It can be a lonely place on the front end!

    Sometimes I think this: margin: 10px; margin-bottom: 40px; Is easier to read than doing something like: margin: 10px 10px 40px 10px;

    CSS: the only language that is both so easy itโ€™s not worth learning but also so hard that itโ€™s not worth learning.

    Check out the code for modifying your typography based on the Ambient Light Sensor (needs a flag turned on to work atm) codepen.io/mandymichael/pโ€ฆ (If you want to test it you need to open in debug mode) Post also available here: variablefonts.dev/posts/light-seโ€ฆ

    My new site variablefonts.dev will share resources for developers to use variable fonts on the web. I'll be adding more examples and resources over time but it's also on Github if you would like to contribute github.com/mandymichael/vโ€ฆ

    Variable Fonts for Developers
    Variable fonts for developers, a collection of fun experiments, effects, demos, articles, font lists, and stuff I have learned as a developer about variable fonts

    I wrote down some of my thoughts on expectations and the perceived value of CSS and HTML in front end development.
