It all started with a copy of Netscape Composer, eventually leading to a 3.25” floppy housing Allaire Homesite carried from job to job and now onto VS Code. After 20+ years messing around on the Web, I couldn't be more excited about where the industry is going with CSS variables and grid. It's much like encountering DHTML all over again for the first time. Work Samples
