Many find it dreadfully boring, particularly the test variety. To be fair, any game that can be played for five full days and not produce a result does sound like a practical joke that’s gone a bit too far. It’s also a deeply frustrating game to play. It’s a team sport, but one where abject individual failure is almost guaranteed, particularly as a… ## [The elephant in the room](https://www.trysmudford.com/blog/the-elephant-in-the-room/) _2025-08-08 · Trys Mudford's Blog_ Colton Voege has penned an excellent debunk of the 10x AI engineer . Their account of rapidly diminishing returns mirrors my experience with agentic coding. Yes, it can create 10x the code that you or I could create in the same time period, but it certainly can’t create 10x the value or impact. Through lunchtime chats, off-hand comments and a growing number of DM’s, it’s becoming… ## [Better max-width queries](https://www.trysmudford.com/blog/max-width-queries/) _2025-07-24 · Trys Mudford's Blog_ A friend shared this tip the other day and it was too useful not to reshare. If you’re a mobile-up kind of developer, it’s easy to forget that max-width media queries are “less than or equal to” by default. It can play havoc with your nice round numbers: @ media ( min-width : 60em ) { /\* above and including 60em \*/ } @ media ( max-width : 59 . 9375em ) { /\* below 60em, but… ## [A human review](https://www.trysmudford.com/blog/a-human-review/) _2025-07-22 · Trys Mudford's Blog_ Mid-year reviews have just come around in the ol' 9-5. It’s an opportunity to reflect on the first six months (H1 if you’re into all that business speak) and set some goals for the end of the year. I personally find the process quite cathartic. Not only does it make the end of year review simpler (I can barely remember what I had for breakfast, let alone what business metrics I… ## [Generate all pair permutations in Utopia SCSS](https://www.trysmudford.com/blog/generate-all-pairs/) _2025-05-20 · Trys Mudford's Blog_ Read the article ## [The joy is in the craft](https://www.trysmudford.com/blog/the-joy-is-in-the-craft/) _2025-05-09 · Trys Mudford's Blog_ If you’re a maker, like I am on the web, you’ll no doubt know the joy and wonder of creating something from scratch . That you can assemble something useful, useless, beautiful or brilliant from a few pixels, phrases or physical objects. To “see the angel in the marble, and carve to set it free” is a feeling unique to those who create. As enshittification increases, and… ## [National Trusts](https://www.trysmudford.com/blog/national-trusts/) _2025-04-24 · Trys Mudford's Blog_ Growing up, my family had life membership for the National Trust, and thus, much of my childhood was spent traipsing in leafy gardens and around stately homes. A couple of years ago, before the financial responsibilities/burden (delete as appropriate) of a toddler, we decided to make the same investment. Spreadsheets are a passion of ours, so of course, we began tracking our visits, most… ## [Legacy guitar gear](https://www.trysmudford.com/blog/legacy-guitar-gear/) _2025-04-15 · Trys Mudford's Blog_ I recently became the owner of an exciting piece of guitar gear. Well, exciting to me, anyway. Winding back the clock to 2010, I distinctly remember pining after a TC Electronic G-System. It was the guitar effects processor to have; all the pro’s were using it, but I was a poor student and couldn’t come close to affording one. A couple of months ago, I spotted a used one for a very… ## [Rounded triangular boxes in CSS/SVG](https://www.trysmudford.com/blog/rounded-triangular-boxes-in-css/) _2025-04-10 · Trys Mudford's Blog_ In the Motorway brand refresh , I had to build a lot of rounded rectangular & triangular shapes (I don’t know what they’re officially called), and got quite good and understanding the pro’s and con’s of each approach. Depending on your use-case, there’s a few possible options available to you. The filled box The ‘simpler’ use-case is the filled box.… ## [Crush Every Threat in Real Time (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/hYMZQaIqwuW9) _2025-04-09 · **Sponsored**_ One agent for real-time detection, exposure tracking, and active defense. ## [Lessons from a Brand Refresh](https://www.trysmudford.com/blog/lessons-from-a-brand-refresh/) _2025-04-09 · Trys Mudford's Blog_ I’ve had the pleasure of leading the engineering rollout of a pretty exciting brand refresh for Motorway . Called onto the project in early February, the task was to manage and implement the rollout across our entire digital platform. Motorway is a complex car marketplace, with multiple consumer-, dealer-, driver-, and internal-facing products. On March 17th, we successfully and smoothly…
