I started a second channel @GeneralMusings for my podcast! You can watch the channel if you prefer YouTube, or https://kevinpowell.co/podcast if you prefer it in podcast form.

Mobile-first is widely accepted as a best practice when it comes to writing CSS, but sometimes this isn't the best approach. It's nice to have a black and white answer, but as with most things, the best solution is often more nuanced. In this video I look at a time where I like to use a maximum width media query and also talk about if we could all do away with media queries too.
