Capturing a screen recording video with command-shift-5 is awesome except for one thing. Stopping the video once you start recording isn't that intuitive. The controls are really hard to find.

When you want to stop recording, hit command-shift-5 again and the menu will appear again with the stop button.

As much as I want to have all the CSS properties memorized, that isn't a nice thing to do to my brain. Instead I visualize my CSS snippets as a garden that I weed and prune.

My CSS snippets garden used to be a folder of text files which was fine. The key to that way was naming the files so they were easy to scan. Lately I moved to an app called Snippety that's a little more fun to garden in. It's quicker to search, prune, and the name is perfect. It also supports a way to export snippets to a file which is something you should always check before you fill up an app with your notes, thoughts, and ideas.
