The other day I wrote about "unnecessary" code complexity and it was well received by my team. Just sharing here in case anyone find it relatable and helpful.

This is such a powerful read—it really sheds light on how facial differences in games are often portrayed in ways that reinforce harmful stereotypes.
About 4 years ago I wrote my first piece on @caniplaythat.com for Craniofacial Acceptance Month.
I usually post it again each year as the message is still relevant. People with a facial difference are more than the harmful trope of a scary villain or sad backstory.

Gaming with a Facial Difference
Video games are a great escape from real life, but having a facial difference is something you don’t escape while gaming.

It’s really hard watching an influencer with 1M followers reinforce the sexist idea that childcare is the mom’s responsibility. I don’t think she does it intentionally — which is part of the problem — but even in subtle ways it reinforces stereotypes that put a lot of pressure on mothers.

It’s not just “can a screen reader access this screen?” It’s “can any user complete the full experience without needing adaptation or assistance?”

There it is! Finally, a real solution for how to style all of the HTML form controls using your own custom CSS to change anything — building on an interoperable UA set of defaults.
First, styling the in-page part of controls + the popover for <select>. (Later we’ll do popovers for more things.)

This article has been around for about a month now but I only got a chance to read it today. IT IS EXCELLENT. Great points about how to leverage AI and what skills to improve for better AI collaboration and eventually for better software.

I wish I could throttle the loading of a specific part of a site (the one that I am actually testing) directly in Chrome Dev Tools. I always forget to disable throttling when loading the initial page, then EVERY TIME "why is this page so slow, did I break it?"

I showed my sit-stand desk to my parents today, and they were mind-blown! It's funny how we get used to these cool things so quickly and start taking them for granted.

You don't necessarily need to say "image of" in your alt text for users to know it's an image. Screen readers will announce that it's an image. But it can help readers to specify if it's a hand-drawn image, Polaroid, infographic, screenshot, chart, map, diagram, or so on.

Since I watched Dan Abramov's The WET Codebase talk, I have been more sceptical to abstraction and today came across another "warning" that really resonated with me. 💡

My theme of this year is "share". I certainly started living through it via being a mentor on ADPList; however I still have anxiety around posting stuff on social media. This tweet is one step forward to overcoming it 💪
