Inactive  Development's Ability: Web Tech (CSS)

CSS is one of the three building blocks for executing front-end engineering.

You make small contributions yourself with clear directions by following existing conventions. For example:

• Writes CSS according to our CSS Style Guide.
• Makes small styling tweaks using existing patterns.
• Fixes isolated bugs.

You make major contributions yourself, fill in missing details, and impact some of those around you. For example:

• Makes use of and, when called for, creates new abstractions and mixins to eliminate inconsistencies and duplication.
• Styles entire new pages.
• Is mindful of browser support for advanced CSS features and includes fallbacks when appropriate.
• Fixes complicated bugs.

You consistently make the entire team more effective in this domain. For example:

• Provides useful design feedback in service to more consistent and maintainable styling.
• Acts a caretaker for our CSS codebase, e.g. by contributing to our linter configuration and Style Guide.
• Educates colleagues on new CSS features and advocates for their use when appropriate.
• Implements responsive layouts when called for and works closely and creatively with designers to "fill in the gaps" when given only a desktop and mobile design, optimizing for a broad range of devices.
• Fixes entire classes of bugs.

You drive long-term technical investments that deliver ongoing value and provide solid foundations for future needs. For example:

• Pioneers architectural changes that empower all Lessonly CSS authors to be more productive.
• Identifies and solves systemic problems and risks with our CSS architecture.

At this exceptional milestone, your impact is foundational to Lessonly's future, or is of industry-level prominence. For example:

• Invents new CSS techniques and frameworks to meet the needs of the wider community.
• Defines and promotes a long-term vision for our CSS architecture and coordinates across the team to ensure projects are in service of it.
