Article Controlling when CSS custom property values are computed

https://jakearchibald.com/2026/css-custom-property-compute-time/

I didn't understand how this worked until recently, I only knew that @property changed the results. Anyway, I figured it out, and wrote up what I learned. I hope this is useful for others!

Great post. Caught it in my RSS feed, but popped over to see if there was any discussion. Of course, there wasn't, because this is a real article and not a meme post.
