Duplicate Work is a Bug

“You’ll sometimes hear people joke that good programmers are ‘lazy’, and what this means is simply that good programmers tend to see duplicated work as a bug, and try to fix it.”

Redesign in Progress

I'm in the middle of redesigning and re-coding this site to use HTML5. I'm doing this live, so at any given moment, the site might look kind of... bad. Sorry about that, and thanks for your patience.

Hi, I’m Scott Vandehey

I’m a CSS Ninja from Portland, Oregon who has been making websites for over 15 years. This is my professional site, where I mostly talk about front-end web development.
