I use syntax highlighting when programming, but sometimes I drag and drop files into a browser to see how they look raw. It helps me get a better sense of the "shape" of my code. Anyone else do this?

I still don't get why web devs use custom JS-based tooltips. Stick title="Tooltip text" into any element and it will show the native tooltip, after a proper timeout.

This is a game changer in the named color technology! 🌈 With CSS5 color-mix() function, you can get a closer match to any sRGB color you want using only named colors. Compare this beauty: DarkSalmon 50%, BlanchedAlmond to this modern horror: oklch(0.8052 0.0723 48.25)

Horizontal buttons/links are superior to vertical: they use less space (if they fit on one line) because they don't need padding between them for clickability.

For people with curvophobia angularis, browsers are not accommodating. Shame! There should be an Accessibility settings > Maximum border radius.
