I feel like our industry is increasingly treating accessibility, performance, and security as box-ticking exercises:
- Get WCAG compliance
- Get green on Core Web Vitals
- Update all your vulnerable dependencies
Maybe this is better than the status quo (since we're so bad at these things), but I worry it removes a lot of the thought and artistry from the job. If all your energy is spent on box-ticking, there's no time for anything else. And management thinks it's "done" when the box is ticked.
I just posted a video showing what you can do with the framework I'm working on, Aerogel. Check it out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXyCH_S9efk
Just saw that my apps Media Kraken and Umai were featured in Tim Berners-Lee's recent keynote at the WeAreDevelopers World Congress :D. Thanks Tim!
The streaming industry is so broken that even though I'm paying for Netflix, I can't watch the One Piece Live Action in the Japanese nor Latin American Spanish dubs.
Can someone remind me why that isn't possible?
I'm back to Barcelona after a couple of months in Japan, and it was great!
It was my first time doing something called a "mini-life", and I think I'll be doing it again. You can read about my experience here: https://noeldemartin.com/tasks/working-from-japan
Ok, false alert, sorry! After double checking actually most t.co links are working and also the #twitter archive contains a field "expanded_url" with the full URL! So the situation is much better than I initially thought.
Thanks for double checking and making me aware
@mittelwertsatz @jonny @brewsterkahle et al.
It is still a big risk, that twitter has the power to wall in those #links
Now all #twitter t.co links are blocked by twitter login. All #links we ever shared via twitter can not be followed anymore without signing in to twitter, no matter where in the #WWW they point to. Twitter put a gate in front of our links by "shortening" them and now they locked the gate. We never should have given them such power. #gatedcommunities #fediverse #web
I'll be in Tokyo most of July and August, let me know if you're around and want to meet up!
This week I attended #penpotfest and I enjoyed it a lot! It was great to meet a community where Developers, Designers, and Open Source come together. I'll definitively pay more attention to @penpot!
If you're curious, check out the recordings at https://penpotfest.org
What's going on with #Reddit at the moment is awesome. I hope it ends well and I hope to see a lot more of this in the future. Ideally, communities will eventually migrate to making better technology choices though. But hey, it's a start.
Yes please! More lifetime, and less subscriptions. And not just for content sites, I've been using apps for years that I haven't paid a cent because of the subscription model. But I would buy them in an instant. Don't underestimate "finished products".

Also, be careful if you're using faker-js because it is not tree-shakeable either! I found out about this because using it in one of my tests increased my production bundle to 3MB O.o https://github.com/faker-js/faker/issues/1791
#TIL none of my libraries were actually tree-shakeable because I wasn't declaring "sideEffect": true in the package.json π οΈ
