Turns out the new gig does in fact involve writing, discussing, and thinking about #CSS all day 🥰
PS - It's also given me the opportunity to join the CSSWG! 🥳 What issues do you currently have an eye on?
🎉 Excited to share that as of today I've joined the Adobe Spectrum CSS team as a Senior Design Engineer!
I'm so looking forward to this opportunity to work with folks who care about creating high quality front-end experiences and the ultra unique ability to center focus on #CSS! 💗
I'm learning that a hard thing for folks to accept about web components is that they are just codifying *existing web capabilities*
We've been so conditioned that framework components twist things to fit invented APIs that we've genuinely lost touch with how the web actually exists 😫
This leads to unwarranted fear that to adopt even one web component is equivalent to taking on a burden equivalent to a new JS framework, including performance hits.
