You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle… ~ Steve Jobs

Daily resources & uses
Resources and toolkit I use, hardware & services whether I'm working on a job for myself or for a client. From techy nerdy stuff to everything in between...
Learning & Workflow Tools
The truth: tools ≠ skill level, but they sure help. Here’s what I lean on when experimenting, learning, or debugging front-end & CSS stuff:
Documentation & References: – MDN Web Docs – The gold standard for HTML, CSS and JS – CSS Tricks – Practical examples & patterns
Community Resources: – Some Stack Overflow – Real-world problem solving – GitHub / Codeberg – Exploring open-source code
Guides & Tutorials: Online articles, blog posts, walkthroughs Experimentation: Playing with live code in browser dev tools
These are my go-to companions when tinkering with collapsibles, hover animations, gradient text, or UI/UX details. Without them, my CSS experiments would probably still be stuck in a plain gray box.
