I hate it when I check the blame on some questionable code and git is like “You, 4 days ago.”

Actually, there is a point. Don’t forget that there was a time you were a beginner. When people earnestly ask for your help, remember the people who helped you and pay it forward.

listen Figma is great and all but their plugin/developer community will never match what Sketch had at its peak. It was anarchy low key but there was a plugin for anything you could imagine, really.

probably a very good time to say if any displaced federal workers are looking to catch a referral where I work hmu, esp if you are open to hybrid work in Hartford CT, St Paul MN, or Hunt Valley MD 👍👍👍

Can we talk about how unleashing the people good enough to be hired at USDS and 18F on this job market is DIABOLICAL?? guys... That's our top talent in the country. Those positions are PRESTIGIOUS. You don't want to have to compete with them for jobs.

Yesterday I listened Katie Langerman’s breakdown of focus states on the Complimentary podcast.
I agree with every single thing she said:
1. Don’t turn off focus states (that’s bad for UX)
2. Browser default focus states suck (not obvious)
3. Custom focus states are an opportunity to do better...

Respect to anyone who works at a studio making custom websites, it clearly was taking me to the brink 😅 I wrote a post in 2017 for my company's blog that rlly captures the unhinged energy in me. 2017 is a blur of client requests and people asking me if Squarespace was going to "take my job".

My very very hot take that I really need to find a kinder way to say is if you do UX or front end, call yourself "senior" and accessibility/inclusive design is an "area for growth"... You're not actually senior level. That is a core skill for your field, I fear.

Push out top talent, make shitty websites, Fall Behind. The rest of the world gives a damn better than we do, which is why the US is going to have to do crazy work to catch up at the other side of this.

This is because they couldn't find a web developer with the base level competency to not make rookie ass mistakes 🙄
when the top tech talent in your own country don't want to work for you.... You make a shitty website. Accessibility isn't just a trend or being "woke"... It's a Core Skill I fear

We're entering a dark period in US #accessibility.
The White House home page has a bunch of links with "aria-hidden" and "tabindex=-1".
This hides the links from assistive tech like screen readers & makes them unreachable with just a keyboard.
Critical #WCAG compliance errors! But who can sue?
