Oh heeeeyy web components folks...
Has anyone using WC for substantially large DOMs noticed a meaningful impact to overall rendering performance if number of _shadow DOM_ nodes is higher?
Or is the impact more likely just due to character weight in scripts? Other factors to consider?
Thanks!

Always feels good to help someone remove JS by pointing them to a modern #CSS solution 🥰

CSSWG resolved that containers would no longer create a new stacking context which Chrome has the update for: https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/10544

I am writing a web component on a Friday night at 10:30 but it's for a good cause which is my 12 Days of Web article.

Never* send JavaScript to do a media or container query's job 😫
* Or rather it should never be your go-to default solution

the other folks have answered well but yeah it’s just that ::marker has limited properties allowed: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/::marker#allowable_properties
I have an article on custom list styling that I probably need to review again but does incorporate ::marker

Turns out the new gig does in fact involve writing, discussing, and thinking about #CSS all day 🥰
PS - It's also given me the opportunity to join the CSSWG! 🥳 What issues do you currently have an eye on?

🎉 Excited to share that as of today I've joined the Adobe Spectrum CSS team as a Senior Design Engineer!
I'm so looking forward to this opportunity to work with folks who care about creating high quality front-end experiences and the ultra unique ability to center focus on #CSS! 💗

I'm learning that a hard thing for folks to accept about web components is that they are just codifying *existing web capabilities*
We've been so conditioned that framework components twist things to fit invented APIs that we've genuinely lost touch with how the web actually exists 😫
This leads to unwarranted fear that to adopt even one web component is equivalent to taking on a burden equivalent to a new JS framework, including performance hits.
