If that wasn’t bad enough most of the comments were aswell. This is so dumb. It’s just AI talking to AI about AI? I don’t want to know what AI thinks about itself. This is absurd. I hate it.23 Jun 2026 00:09 +0000at://did:plc:tswlgr37ojyghwt7j3snfxkn/app.bsky.feed.post/3mow4e7oly22dhttps://bsky.app/profile/mandymichael.bsky.social/post/3moekh6xkhs2qI’ve started writing down some of my thoughts about Frontend & AI. I’m not an expert, but where I’ve landed for now is that Design Systems are no longer optional. They are critical, and having dedicated people focused on them is more important than ever. https://mandy.dev/posts/design-systems-ai/16 Jun 2026 00:34 +0000at://did:plc:tswlgr37ojyghwt7j3snfxkn/app.bsky.feed.post/3moekh6xkhs2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/mandymichael.bsky.social/post/3m6xnmn2hxc2cSome holiday text effects.

Will AI be the one who gets it?” https://medium.com/@mandy.michael/people-deserved-a-better-web-will-ai-be-the-one-who-gets-it-9b7192af3f0e01 Dec 2025 06:21 +0000at://did:plc:tswlgr37ojyghwt7j3snfxkn/app.bsky.feed.post/3m6vryurz422whttps://bsky.app/profile/mandymichael.bsky.social/post/3lrhdffe2es22Today I learned about “slopsquatting”. What a word. @webdirections.org #code2025 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slopsquatting13 Jun 2025 01:55 +0000at://did:plc:tswlgr37ojyghwt7j3snfxkn/app.bsky.feed.post/3lrhdffe2es22https://bsky.app/profile/mandymichael.bsky.social/post/3lrex26piuc23@elly.lol immediately after the talk I realised the answer to your question! You can use size adjust in font face to adjust roboto. There is no reason you can let size adjust multiple fallback options to match your first choice font12 Jun 2025 03:08 +0000at://did:plc:tswlgr37ojyghwt7j3snfxkn/app.bsky.feed.post/3lrex26piuc23https://bsky.app/profile/mandymichael.bsky.social/post/3lrcpqmqhe426Whenever I see someone give a talk about CSS I always get reminded how awesome it is!
