OpenAI vs Cortez - I'm almost finished listening to the Rest is History Podcast mega 8 part series on the Aztecs. It's way more interesting than I thought it would be, and how timeley because the story is as crazy as last week's OpenAI saga, except it's old school, utter carnage. How times have changed. We in tech are all but amateurs compared to this lot. All the same I'm quite glad we aren't as hardcore.
A story of adventure, courage, confusion, culture clashes, riches, hopelessness, impossible decisions, misinformation, bizare aliances, death, carnage, legacy, and so much more.
The start of the series is episode 1: The Fall of the Aztecs: The Adventure Begins. #

What’s New in CSS Land (JS Party Podcast) - The latest episode has Una Kravets on from the CSS Podcast to talk about the latest CSS features. So many great new features. If I were starting a new project I'd be exploring sass style nesting, cascade layers, popover and select list components, anchor positioning, scroll driven animations, view transitions, the :has selector and responsive design with container queries. There's also some general advice about separating style from logic. Great episode. changelog.com #
