General Musings with Kevin Powell

I have a newsletter where I usually start things off with pretty long general musings before I share the content I"ve created in the previous week, as well as any interesting articles I"ve stumbled across in the last week.Not everyone likes reading or having more emails in their inbox, though, so this podcast is an audio version of my newsletters. They aren"t tutorials or technical explorations like my regular videos are, but instead tend to talk about a wide range of different topics, though

Two important dev skills that don't get enough attention

General Musings with Kevin Powell ·

2023/12/03

This week, I focus on two of the most important skills a developer can have, which also happen to be two of the hardest ones to teach: * The thought process to break down more complex problems. * Being able to dive into existing code and quickly make sense of it. These are probably two of the most important skills you can have as a developer, but they don't get much attention because they aren't as easy to convey as "follow along as I code this up". I'll give some tips on how you can improve

Is 54 units too many units, or not enough?

General Musings with Kevin Powell ·

2023/11/26

This week, I'm going to be talking a lot about CSS length units because one of the complaints I hear about CSS is the number of length units it has, with a total of 54 (not all of them are supported yet, though). That is a lot of units. But this is a feature and not a bug.
