  ✍️ I wrote a short opinion piece about a pattern I keep seeing lately: switching to the smallest responsive layout too early. I call it The Too-Early Breakpoint. 🔗 https://ishadeed.com/article/too-early-breakpoint/

  That moment when I removed a section titled "Real world example" from one of my course modules because the previous explanations are actually real world examples and I'm over-explaining the topic. Fun times :D

  @stefanfrede That's true, and it's a sad fact. A developer I worked with who is used to ready-made frameworks struggled to build a simple 3 cols news section for an editorial layout. The reason is simple, he got so used to using pre-made stuff that he forgot how to write CSS.

  Two days ago, I sent a newsletter announcing the release date of my CSS course and asked for beta testers. The response was beyond anything I expected. I spent ~3 hours reading every email and making some really tough decisions on who to select. Grateful for everyone who volunteered. 🙏

  A few days ago I wanted to purchase a domain for my CSS layout course, but it was taken, so I purchased another one. Today I got an email from the registrar asking me to update my info for that taken domain. Turns out I had already purchased it and completely forgot 😂

  @nicod Lol! It happens to the best of us. I probably purchased it while asleep/not focused and I ended up forgetting about it!

  The Layout Maestro course is shaping its final state, and I have a release date! Details soon. 🤩 I'm really looking forward to this. The amount of work is something I haven't done before. For eg, I spent 2 hrs today on refining one of the flexbox demos to make it even clearer 👌 ALL of the newsletter subscribers will get a discount on launch, just saying :D https://layoutmaestro.ishadeed.com/
