<p>Même si je m’émeus encore de l’esthétique d’un <em>Web Component</em> ou d’une nouvelle technique CSS, j’essaye d’être plus attentif au fil des ans à l’impact potentiel des bouts de code que j’assemble. C’est là où <a data-link-domain="daverupert.com" href="https://daverupert.com/2022/06/demo-to-demo-loop/">les démo</a> <a href="/david/cache/2024/9f8c0e75066c1882a3b4ce084e3223ed/" title="Copie locale au 2024-01-09">[archive]</a> prennent tout leur sens pour vérifier la pertinence de ce qui a été produit. Se libérer de l’égoïsme technique pour aller vers le soin porté aux utilisateur·ices, essayer de comprendre leurs besoins, synthétiser, proposer, se tromper, recommencer. Dans une spirale d’essais-erreurs, on se rapproche d’un centre enviable où les contraintes techniques sont minimisées et les besoins proches d’être comblés. Chaque partie ayant un petit peu appris sur l’autre au cours de ce bout de chemin&nbsp;commun.</p>
<p><strong>Une carrière est la cartographie de ces expériences.</strong> Savoir identifier les <em>optima</em> locaux qui ont pu procurer de la joie ainsi que les lieux de convergence où l’on aime bien aller car il y a le bon dosage effort / récompense. Apprendre à reconnaître les sentiers hasardeux où l’on a déjà laissé des plumes et reconnaître aussi qu’un contexte et des personnes peuvent&nbsp;changer.</p>
<p>Admettre que l’on a soi-même changé tout au long de ce&nbsp;cheminement.</p>

<p>At most software startups, customers typically don’t care if your product runs on Heroku, Kubernetes, or a really brittle singly-homed machine in Joe’s closet.

<p>Superbe article de Ahmad Shadeed. En résumé, il faut soigner ses <em>paddings</em> mais il y a pas mal d’astuces CSS pour y arriver dans certaines conditions. Je retiens notamment l’usage d’un <code>:after</code> pour ça <a data-link-domain="ishadeed.com" href="https://ishadeed.com/article/target-size#mobile-menu">lorsqu’il s’agit d’icônes</a>&nbsp;notamment&nbsp;:</p>
<pre><code>.search__filter:after {
  content: &quot;&quot;;
  position: absolute;
  inset: 0;
  z-index: -1;
  transform: scale(2);
}
</code></pre>
<p>Je découvre au passage qu’il y a pas mal d’options d’accessibilité dans <a data-link-domain="polypane.app" href="https://polypane.app/">Polypane</a> que j’utilise depuis peu et que je n’ai pas pleinement&nbsp;exploré.</p>
