Atom is good as well.

Really enjoying this series! Please keep ’em coming.

System Preferences > Keyboard > Text > “Use smart quotes and dashes”.

Especially when a CMS is involved.

It used to be best practice (and I think still is for code organization) but Google has started marking against “render blocking” stylesheets for standard sites, encouraging a hybrid model where critical render CSS is located in the head style, and external files are lazy loaded in the background. And then if you’re developing an AMP page, you have all kinds of restrictions on your css, and it ALL goes in the head… Makes me wonder if the the second s could be becoming a relic from a bygon era in the next year or so… :(
