• What really happens when a user clicks an accordion button? - Max Design

• Our frail thoughts. -- Ethan Marcotte

  "I remain dismayed by what's currently happening in tech, and at the same time I'm incredibly inspired by the people fighting for a better vision of it; I want to write more about both of those things. On that front, I should note I've decided I want to write another book -- a much longer one, if possible. But I'll share more on that when I can."
