This week: Astro, CSS grid, OpenAI and more
What happened last week
Formally I’m unemployed for over a week, but in reality, I feel that all those interviews I had required more attention and concentration than typical work. The cool part of those interviews is the fact that I learned a lot from them, all were amazing and I’m already certain that my future is bright.
I also scheduled the next episode of The Code and Coffee Show. This time, together with Sergii Kirianov, we’ll chat about Headless Ecommerce.
Oh, and after all those years I finished Dishonored. While this game is quite old, the location design and the graphical style are still amazing.

Going Headless with Astro — James Q Quick
I had a blast talking with James and Brad about Headless WordPress and Astro.
A timeline of Sam Altman’s firing from OpenAI — and the fallout
I love tech drama. What happened at OpenAI was incredible, full of twists and I’m sure it’s not over yet.
On the other hand, the OpenAI’s board behaved in a purely idiotic way removing Altman in a way they did. It had to backfire, although the scale of what happened amazes me a lot.
Vite 5 is out and it’s full of goodies. I didn’t have a chance to play with it more, but based on the changelog it looks really amazing.

I love Josh’s guides. Not only they are amazing when it comes to content, but also I’m amazed at how well they look and how interactive they are.
CSS Nesting — Ahmad Shadeed
Ahmad wrote a great tutorial about CSS nesting. I really love the part where he shows how different DevTools show the nested code.
SSG is dead. Long live cache — Aaron Francis
Aaron explains why caching might be a better solution than using a Static Site Generator. Personally, I wouldn’t go that far that “SSG is dead” because many SSGs provide some additional things than just speed, but in many cases, good caching might be a solution for many of your problems.
