"Appreciation" is too strong a word, but I do have a newfound perspective on the bits of positive progress that came from past tech bubbles after reading this.
Can we talk about Theranos? And Builder.ai?
Yes, in the same context. Hear me out.

Still flying high from attending State of the Browser again this year, though I'm also struggling to remember what a keyboard does after the ensuing holiday.

Walked away from State of the Browser 23 cards lighter, nearly half of the box!
If you got one, reach out! Connect on social, email me, whatever. These cards are great at starting conversations, not so great at continuing them unless we connected, and I'd love to keep in touch.

I took my time over months to complete this course, really enjoyed how it was organized into but sized chapters to make that slow but steady progress easier.
It's a ton of great content and so so worth it, the fact that it also checked some CAECs off my list was a great bonus.

The length of the course is going to be particularly relevant to you if you have a CPACC or CPWA certificate from the International Association of Accessibility Professionals (IAAP).

Lots of very helpful graphics and visualizations that help explain the difference between color spaces like HSL and Lab, where some bugs & limitations are, how they can be used together, and even converted from one to another.
