• This issue of What’s !important is dedicated to our friends in the UK (aka me), who are currently experiencing a very miserable 43-day rain streak. • Presenting: the five most interesting things to read about CSS from the last couple of weeks. • Plus, the latest features from Chrome 145, and anything else you might’ve missed. • TL;DR: lots of content, but also lots of rain. • Why you can only code for 4 hours/day Don’t worry, you’re only coding for 52 minutes/day anyway. • Milan Milanović talks about the devastating impact of meetings, emails, Slack, and interruptions, and what you/your manager can do about it.

Article Summaries:

  • The latest issue of What’s !important highlights several CSS and browser updates. It opens with a practical guide to lazy‑loading above‑the‑fold iframes using a custom technique, followed by a tutorial on creating repeating corner‑shape backgrounds. A new “CSS Selection (2026)” study examines real‑world CSS patterns and playful typos of !important. The newsletter also reviews Chrome 145’s new features: text‑justify with inter‑word/character options, percentage units for word‑spacing and letter‑spacing, overscroll‑behavior for non‑root containers, and column‑wrap/column‑height support (Chrome only). A side piece discusses developer flow and the impact of meetings, emails, and interruptions.
