✍️ New Article: Should masonry be part of CSS grid?
I explored whether masonry should be integrated into CSS Grid or introduced as its own display type, with examples comparing both approaches.

This article about Masonry in CSS by @shadeed9 is fantastic. He created several examples, going through the code needed to create layout variations at breakpoints while still supporting older browsers. What would it be like to use each in the real world?

I can’t believe it’s been over 4 years since I joined Apple. Now we are expanding my team, and hiring another person to do the same job I have. It’s an incredible team. I love getting to have big impact. And at a company that believes in privacy.

I could not agree with this more. “Flexbox is 1D, Grid is 2D” hurts web developers’ understanding of how to write layout CSS.

I've just put out a new video! Stop the Flexbox for 1D, Grid for 2D layout nonsense youtube.com/watch?v=vO-1eseQ…

Cool post on the @webkit blog about automated testing of accessible role and labels becoming part of the cross-browser web platform tests suite. As always, shared end-to-end test suites improve browsers and specs! I'm so glad they're now possible for a11y. webkit.org/blog/15400/improv…

Everyone coming into town for WWDC should be aware that the COVID risk in the area is extremely high right now. You’re not going to see me in any poorly-ventilated areas without a very high-quality mask.

San Francisco, CA is about to hit the highest wastewater level of the entire pandemic at their bigger wastewater site. This is a major red flag and something we need to keep an eye on. If I was the CDC I would be doing extra variant sequencing there ASAP.

Did you see that @webkit has a post up by @jensimmons talking about the future of masonry layouts?
The CSS WG is asking for input on this as there is some disagreement on the best approach. Read the full article below for context.
