The good people at @deque.com have put my #axe-con 2025 presentation, Design for Everyone, live for all! (With captions and ASL.)
This is one of my favourite talks. It covers accessible and rights-respecting design, sort of a culmination of many of my other talks.

One of the biggest adjustments I see new leaders going through is the amount of context shifting.
It’s very frustrating! Where your work used to allow for flow state, you need to stay interrupt driven so your staff can stay focused.
Leaders should be helpers.

My hot take is that if there is a single corporation so essential to national interests that the government allows its employees to exercise their Charter right to collective bargaining for 10 minutes before calling it illegal, then that company should be broken up.
Air Canada strike:
“We’re going to stay committed to making sure that those workers can do the job that they love doing and actually be able to afford a roof over their heads, to afford caring for their families,” CUPE president just said.
“If it means folks like me going to jail, then so be it.”

Personas as a contemporary practice are inherently tokenizing and reductionist.

Every time I get back into Zig, I remember what I enjoy so much about it: These compile times are just oh so nice. I strongly believe that the tighter your loop is between making a change and seeing it live, the smoother your workflow.

I was made to have some form of surgery when I was 11 that I regret to this day, and it’s apparently pretty common to regret it. Meanwhile this happens? We value the wrong things.
It's fucked up how HRT and gender-affirming procedures have one of the lowest regret rates of any medical procedure yet the guidelines are still written in a way that presupposes that you will regret your decision and want to detransition

It's a little bit odd to see so much JS in that survey, especially the "native" JS APIs, which, let's be honest, are just privacy violations.

I tried using the react compiler at work on one of our smaller packages (about 5.5k lines of typescript), and it more than *quintupled* the build times, from ~180ms to ~1s. That's... a lot.

Salma nails it, we have a lot of focus on initiatives to get women to start a career in tech, but it never extend beyond that. I struggled to get past the ceiling of senior engineer for a long time myself. She is also right that we aren’t free until all of us are, the fight is intersectional
