Top 3: CSS in 2022, websocket handbook and learn how your org works

Hello my friends.

Here's what I picked this week, enjoy!

1. Know how your org works (or how to become a more effective engineer)​

TL;DR: Why it’s important to know how your organisation works if you want to achieve something.

My notes:

• Before you try to change the system, learn how it works.
• Trending ideas from conferences & twitter can go against your company’s priorities.
• If you want to implement a trendy idea, you must first find out the organization's current priorities.
• What is important to know about the company: formal hierarchy, informal hierarchy, history of important decisions [what, why, how and by whom], company policies and processes.

2. CSS in 2022​

TL;DR: CSS features we can expect to land in browsers in 2022.

My hot list:

1. Container queries
2. Cascade layers
3. Viewport units
4. :has()
5. Overscroll behaviour
6. Media query ranges

3. The WebSocket Handbook​

TL;DR: A free ebook about WebSockets with a deep dive into how it works.
