Calling out AI mistakes! At first, I was impressed with Claude for coming up with a clever analogy to help remember the difference between box-sizing: border-box and box-sizing: content-box β€” a fundamental CSS property.

I'm proud that I understand CSS well enough to call it out :)

My win was posting a lot of my articles back to here at The Daily Dev, but also on other outlets like my own webpage, completely free. These include a great portion of my Medium articles that used to be there. Another win was reaching 450 subscribers on YouTube! Merry Xmas everyone!
