Rejoice! It finally happened! I sang “In the Shadows” after my talk at @halfstackconf.bsky.social, and I forgot how much better I sound in my head. Thank you all for putting up with me! What a joy it was to bump into @tonyedwardspz.bsky.social, who I’ve been mentioning in my slides!

Parenting is living full time on the set of Home Alone.

It’s a lot to pack for an otherwise minimalist traveler, but it always beats hotel coffee.

Living the art life

I just used feeds for the first time and I think I love them?

So good to see your growth on my all @schier.co . Stoked to have you using it 🙂 More updates coming tomorrow! [contains quote post or other embedded content]

Me, a JS girlie who works on the frontend: “I wonder if @rudyfraser.com needs my help 🤔”

Self-care for me right now is watching different groups of streamers play Among Us. I don't know why, but spectating that game is hilarious to me.

This week, Lambda & ECS are celebrating 10 years! 🥳 I spoke about what building serverless means in 2024 at mine and Tom Collins's Serverless Days Cardiff keynote: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJU00RdNoe0

I love that the Bluesky starter pack for local authorities has a wheelie bin as its icon! Always the hottest topic 🚮🗑️

if you wanna be good at something you just have to do it. “but I suck at it!” so what, just do it. And do it again. And again. And again. And then maybe you’ll still suck at it but you’ll suck more confidently and tbh nobody knows wtf they’re doing except maybe NASA so

I love that we’re in the early stages of this app where you’ll pretty much follow anyone that’s posting anything consistently and then we’ll look back in like 10 years and be like oh….i actually don’t know this person at all? We were just in the trenches together.

They're just SO FUNNY. I really love when groups use the mods to add more roles and then it's just CHAOS.

Awesome news! I used Responsive Web Design as one of my research sources for my bachelor thesis back in 2012. It’s a great book for starters and seasoned designers/developers. Thanks for sharing! [contains quote post or other embedded content]

That’s so nice to hear, Thorsten. Thank you!

I’m definitely not the only one, but “Responsive Web Design” was a game changer for me. An extension of the original May 25, 2010 article on the A List Apart website that marked a paradigm shift in the way we build websites. It’s remarkable. [contains quote post or other embedded content]

I didn’t see @jessicahische.bsky.social in my quick scan. She’s here too.

Also reminder, WCAG isn't everything. You could pass WCAG with a completely unusable website/service/app. @craigabbott.bsky.social had an excellent talk, Beyond WCAG, that covered why going beyond the accessibility regulations matter. https://www.craigabbott.co.uk/decks/beyond-accessibility-regulations/

Should I make a starter pack full of tech people and their cats? Purrrrrrgrammers?

Today's late-night musings are all about the rise and fall of certain social media networks. I'd love to hear your thoughts too! Also, I need to up my game when it comes to the open graph image, I know!

i really really love it when i'm designing in code, and i've tried a few things, made some clever solutions, etc etc but then the one solution appears, and the result? i get to DELETE tons of junks it's like the right design solution is always minimal, you just gotta find it

Going to have another crack at this with my daughter. We were doing it last year but box 4 had the wrong bits in it! Rectified too late alas. Will try again!
