Regarding rem px conversions, I follow this intuition: _multiply by 4 gives you px value, dividing by 4 gives you rem value._ `h-8` utility is height of 8 * 4 = 32px or 8 / 4 = 2 r…

At work, we've built a component library styling readily available headless components from Radix UI, Headless UI, Reach UI etc. with a customized Tailwind CSS preset. We had to us…

I've had some experience migrating large UI projects at work to use a design system based on Tailwind. Haven't faced any issue with Tailwind at all, even while integrating in exist…

I found that one can make Tailwind CSS utility classes appear vertically, if one's been using clsx library[1] (or something similar). clsx accepts an array, and at that point, pret…

I'm not sure why you believe this would be a difficult task to achieve. You've already mentioned in the other comment, that drift is your concern, and that can be fixed easily. Tho…

In India, Spotify Premium is 119 INR / month, while Apple Music is 120 INR / month. Spotify also have few other options, like annual membership, and student plans. While recommenda…

This is great! Just one feedback - kindly reduce the CSS font-weight from 900 to something like 400-500.

I learned this the hard way, coming from React to Vue land; that v-for on an element would also repeat the element itself. With React, it was pretty clear which element / component…

Have been developing with React for last 3 years, and recently started building with Vue JS. React's core philosophy is JS everywhere - there's no template, no HTML, no CSS; only J…

Have used Buildkite at a previous workplace. Really liked the UI. This is coming from someone who has used Jenkins, Travis, Codeship, and GitLab CI. Their front-end is open source:…

This is an apple to orange comparison. Gulp is a tool that lets you decide what the build process should look like. Webpack is a tool where you define entry points, split points et…

You'd be surprised. I have a friend, whose team had this policy - no raise with promotion. He got a promotion with no raise. When asked, his manager said, "you shouldn't work for m…

In my first job, about four years ago, my first task was to make certain modifications in firebug for our company's internal use (mostly in reporting and filtering). I didn't even …

In case you already haven't, might wanna add the "Kill Sticky" bookmarklet: https://alisdair.mcdiarmid.org/kill-sticky-headers/

I was confused with this initially as well. What I came to understand, was that "server-side rendering" refers to whole application lifecycle steps: - The server generates initial …

Even better. You don't even need to set up a build system for async/await, ES6 modules (coming in Chrome 61) these days. Most modern browsers support a great portion of ES6+ specif…

A refreshing read. Was expecting a satirical negative take on the complexity. However, this only covers a small part of front-end development with VDOM based approach, and a few ES…

The way I see it, there are two types of callbacks - synchronous and asynchronous. This is a synchronous callback (but callback nonetheless), that takes an array of numbers, and ad…

I have been in your position about a year ago. The approached that helped me, was to not worry about all this. Just start somewhere; and in a month or two, you would mostly know wh…
