The "tech industry" is obsessed with a design myth where "User Friendly" means we make all the choices for everyone. There's nothing friendly about it. I very much prefer friends who allow me to make my own choices. We need to change how we make (& think about) software:
The *easiest* fix for that biased cropping AI? No it’s not to build another AI - it’s to give people the power to select crop boundaries when posting a photo.

What color would you expect to see on a paragraph that is matched by both these CSS rules? ```css @​scope (aside) { p { color: green; } } aside#sidebar p { color: red; } ``` (This is speculative, there is no right answer)
13% green (scope wins)
76% red (specificity wins)
10% other / 🍿

A better phrasing might have been "what color would you _want_ to see..." This is not about speculation, but desired behavior.

I’m so excited to have Razvan joining my team. He worked on the Font editor, Grid Inspector and much, much more for Firefox. Before that, while at Adobe, he invented the original Shape Path Editor as a web extension. Now he’s working on Safari developer tools.
I joined Apple to work on developer tools for Safari/WebKit. Many thanks to my former team members on Firefox DevTools for sharing their wisdom and providing me with opportunities to learn and make a positive impact on how the web is built.

If you could use a function to refer to the value of any CSS property on the parent element (e.g. inherit(font-weight) would resolve to the parent font-weight) and you could use that in any property, what would you use it for? Real use cases please, not abstract theoretical ones.
