Friends, I still get requests for #accessibility consultations. I'm not currently taking any consultation work, and I love to give recommendations for independent consultants when clients ask for them.

If you're an independent #a11y consultant, please reply below so I can add you to the list!

Good writeup from @css-tricks.com on the situation with "Masonry"† and whether it belongs as part of grid or its own `display` type. It's largely neck-and-neck and won't move unless some minds on either side change.

† Still a bad name.

I deleted most of my data and stopped posting on Twitter a while ago. Finally deactivated my account now that there are so many great people over here.

I understand that some of you will continue to cross-post, but I hope you come to the same conclusion.

Nothing like deleting someone else’s failing test to fix the deployment of the revert of someone else’s PR that is breaking the site for your largest customer on election night while your European colleagues have already signed off.

Can they hold off on the results? I can’t handle that right now.

It’s Native American History Month so I feel like I should once again ask you to buy my book, “This Land” which introduces young kids to the concept that all land in America is Indigenous land.

Buy it from a Native-owned bookshop: birchbarkbooks.com/products/thi...

Sometimes I find patterns in my coding that I think would be useful to others. Wrote up a quick post about one this morning.

Check out “Prefer Explicit Maps” and see how you might be adding unnecessary complexity in your code and how to fix it.

Sometimes we write unnecessary complexity without realizing it. Let's see how we often do this with ternaries and learn how using a map will remove complexity and improve maintainability.

@syntax.fm is one of the podcasts that I still listen to since I stopped commuting to work because Scott and Wes (and team) do a great job highlighting and teaching the latest (and most fundamental) tech in web dev.

Thank you!

If you’re a listener this is your chance to help make it even better.

I bought Let's Go (lets-go.alexedwards.net) on the recommendation of a bunch of folks on Mastodon and I've really been enjoying it, as someone with very little experience making CRUD apps

It walks through how to make a basic web app in Go, mostly using the standard library
