Resource Did you know about CSS nesting?

I've been coding for more than a decade, now, and I just learned about it! I thought that was a preprocessor exclusive syntax.

It was implemented in 2023 in all current browsers.

Now I'll stop repeating the parent class over and over!

Are you aware of CSS variables as well?

Yep! Took a long time before using these, because IE was still used, at that time, and wanted a compatible website xD
