curl
is one of those great utilities that’s been around seemingly forever and has endless use cases. These days I find myself using curl
to batch download files and test APIs. Sometimes my testing leads me to using different HTTP headers in my requests.

Unicode CSS Classes
CSS class name structure and consistency is really important; some developers camelcase classnames, others use dashes, and others use underscores. One thing I’ve learned when toying around by HTML and CSS class names is that you can actually use unicode symbols and icons as classnames.
