One last CSS snippet for good measure. Yes, this site required a lot of complex gradients. This CSS rule will fill the background of a container element with a linear gradient. On the diagonal. Based on solid colors, but nearly transparent. Thanks again color-mix function!

Not perhaps as equally as impressive as the color-mix function, but sometimes you need to fill a span of text with a gradient color. Not the background; the text itself. The tricky part here is in getting the clipping properties set correctly. CSS is so powerful these days.

Needed to fill the background of a website hero section with a complex gradient. Two large radial gradients, one in the top-right area, and one in the bottom-left area. Large enough to overlap considerably. Nearly transparent, but based on solid colors. I give you, color-mix.

Came out of a store in a strip mall today, only to find a car parked next to mine. It was parked so close that I could not get into my car. Went back into the store and wandered. Checked on the situation every ten minutes or so. Finally gone after an hour.

I enjoy recommendations from Mike's Book Reviews. Mystic River came out on top last year. It is a good enough book, but without any fantasy or hard science to keep me interested, I feel like I am reading a transcript of a 48 Hours murder mystery. Tough to keep turning the page.

I was setting up an LLC for software development services and management coaching until ... I needed to select the date the business was created. Apparently Jan 29, 2026 is not in the past enough. 😂 It is 2026 y'all. Check your validation algorithms.

Think about your job as a business you own. There is more to it than writing code (product). Sales and marketing (comms), HR (continuing education), IT (reporting), and more.

It is worth spending time learning at least a handful of cognitive biases. This was required learning for managers and anyone involved in hiring at AWS. It sharpens critical thinking and helps you communicate ideas more effectively.
