Full Stack Panic

Category Image 052

A new podcast from Sean Fioritto inspired by Joel Califa's term "Full Stack Anxiety".

... the little voice in your head says ... “I should know all of this. Do I even know what I'm doing?” Why do web developers the world over feel like this?

There is an episode with Joel talking about it as well as other interesting angles like an episode with psychologist Dr. Sherry Walling.

The overall vibe is that of catharsis in that, hopefully, none of this matters as much as it seems like it might. I'd like to think we try to deliver that, through a bit of levity, on ShopTalk Show as well.

Oh hey and Panic started a podcast too, a must-subscribe from me as a long-time fan of all their interesting work.

Four Layouts for the Price of One

Category Image 052

Pretty notable when a tweet about a flexbox layouts gets 8K+ likes on Twitter!

That's "native" CSS nesting in use there as well, assuming we get that at some point and the syntax holds.

There was some feedback that the code is inscrutable. I don't really think so, to me it says:

  • All these inputs are allowed both to shrink and grow
  • There is even spacing around all of it
  • The email input should be three times bigger than the others
  • If it needs to wrap, fine, wrap.

A great use case for flexbox, which is the right layout mechanism when you aren't trying to be super precise about the size of everything.

There is a blog post (no byline 🤷‍♂️) with a more longwinded explanation.


This reminds me a lot of Tim Van Damme's Adaptive Photo Layout where photos lay themselves out with flexbox. They don't entirely keep their Aspect ratios, but they mostly do, thanks to literally the flexibility of flexbox.

Here's a fun fork of the original.

It's like a zillion layouts for the price of one, and just a few lines of code to boot.
