LukyVj - A$AP Luky

Thanks man!!

What’s next? Some rest.
Some fun side projects.
And most importantly…
👶 Preparing for fatherhood.
This isn’t farewell, it’s just goodbye, for now.
If you ever need a creative dev or frontend brain, my inbox is open 👋

Grateful to @julienLemoine, @NicolasDessaigne, @sylvainUtard & @Kevin_Granger for giving 23-year-old me a chance.
Thank you to every colleague, friend, and mentor along the way.
You shaped me — professionally and personally.
If I could do it all again, I would. 💙

From Paris to SF & London, from silly experiments to serious launches:
🖌️ Drawing canvas with Algolia
🎥 Saving videos
📦 Using it as a backend
✨ SwagSearch.com
👾 AlgoCraft, a 3D voxel world
I was free to create. And I gave it my all energy!

The day has come. After 9.5 years, today marks my last day at @algolia.com 💙
I joined in 2016 as employee #22 and grew from junior frontend dev to senior DevRel engineer.
It’s been an incredible ride, full of passion, growth, and unforgettable memories.

Hee hee hee! 😂 @lukyvj.bsky.social is up to his usual shenanigans, blowing up search interfaces. 💥

This is for a presentation he's giving at #AlgoliaDevBit on Wednesday.

Sadly this isn't possible to define, and will most likely be.

However, the one and only @css-only.dev gave us a potential way to achieve that:

Which would make:

```
selector { background: url('foo/1')}
selector.modifier { background: url('foo/2')}
```

There's something I have on my CSS wishlist, idk if it's utopian, but hear me out: Template literals in CSS.

Like:

```
selector {
--a: 1;
background: url(`foo/${var(--a)}`)

.modifier {
--a: 2;
}
}
```

✨I liked AlterTable.ai cards so much that I had to recreate them in #CSS with advanced modern CSS!

Took the opportunity to test out the new CSS if() syntax, the new attr() capabilities, and of course, made a light mode version just because 😁

Quentin!!! @qu-ntin.bsky.social

Oops, it'll be of course 11th & 12th of June 2026! @cssday.nl

Oh look! That's @algolia.com

PS: The CSS is kinda messy, don't hesitate if you have question!

PS2: I used @\supports not (color: attr(data-color type(<custom-ident>))) {} to create the fallbacks for Firefox and Safari
