I like that almost every UI interaction in GitHub's pull request page is broken when a new comment arrives, and I'd then have to reload the page for it to work again

I implemented the proposed CSRF handler, if anyone wants to test it, or wants to migrate before it makes its way into the standard library. There are are no tokens or cookies, so migrating should be easy, but note that it applies strict same-origin checks. Feedback welcome! filippo.io/csrf

A frustrating side effect of search becoming "smarter" in general is that we seem to have lost the capability to just match on a substring. Across the various search boxes I use daily (apple spotlight, google search, github search) they all now fail to find "bar" in "foobar"

Microsoft, laying off 3% of its global workforce: “We continue to implement organizational changes necessary to best position the company for success in a dynamic marketplace.” Do you need an MBA to learn to talk like this? To lose your empathy, your humanity? It seems so.

Announcing my new book about A11Y! ♿ When I first started as a web developer I didn't know anything about best practices for UX Only after guidance from many wonderful people have I improved; I want to share that ☺️ A11Y is a basic right and improves products for us all 🚀

An illustration of a street. There is a visually impaired person, walking with a white cane. A wheelchair user sits next to another person in a small shop. The shop's banner says "a11y.art", the URL for the book.
