0:10.6	Welcome to syntax, the podcast with the tastiest web development treats out there.
0:15.2	We've got a potluck for you today. This is where you bring the questions we bring the answer.
0:19.2	We have some really good questions today on CSS custom props. What can and can you not put in it?
0:25.8	Some questions on spelt kit, GitHub, co-pilot. Why is box sizing border box not the default
0:33.2	and all kinds of really interesting questions? My name is West Boss. I'm a developer from Canada.

1:35.0	that's kind of silly. I was like, oh, I'll put it in my office, but like I don't like having
1:41.2	loud stuff in my office. I have a little bar fridge in here and every now and then the compressor
1:45.6	kicks on and I'm like, quiet, will you please be quiet? Yeah, I know. It's one of those little
