Creating a CSS Rollover Effect

Recently, I was working on a project where we had a specific rollover effect in mind. When you hover over the link, the background grows and when you roll off, it returns to its default state. In this video, I'll show you how to do this in CSS and the thought process that went into finding the best method.

Banging Your Head Against a Wall: Environment Variables

The Issue: The rails app I was working on uses webpacker to compile assets. When running in a test environment, these assets are compiled to a "public/packs-test" directory. The "packs-test" directory is required in order to run the specs, so if it is missing, things go 💥! Well, this packs-test folder was not being created by webpacker, so my specs were all failing. 😭
