Got good news: I&#39;ll be speaking on a main track at PyCon this year! The talk is: Fall in love with CSS It&#39;s a primer on the words we use to describe the language, the way the cascade works, and then showing off all my favorite modern features that make vanilla CSS my preference. If you&#39;re attending, see me there! If you&#39;re also a vanilla CSS weirdo like me, come chat here on fedi. Always happy to hear what features others find important.

I say "on a main track" because I was invited to speak about ppb at the Education Summit one year! And I'm always there doing various things (and running sprints. Always running sprints.)

@pathunstrom the combination of grid layouts, flexbox layouts, and `box-sizing: border-box` still feels like a properly revolutionary improvement in web design, despite all of them being rather well-established at this point. things i would have refused to try a decade ago because they were so difficult can be done in like a half hour with that combination. it's wild.

@pathunstrom I really like the cover feature.

@pathunstrom I really like auto margins within Flexbox - it's basically the missing justify-self (in Flexbox).
