👋 I'm looking for work! 15+ years of frontend dev, design engineering, and leadership. TypeScript, Astro, React, Next, Node, you name it. I'm based in Berlin and I've helped tons of startups with their products (and other problems). I've worked remotely with US companies for 4+ years.

A thread, because things are feeling rough at present. 🧵👇 I'm not quite sure where to go or what to do. I'm watching my peers slowly burn out, go quiet, quit the industry, or struggle on hoping it'll get better in time. Even if the storm is weathered, what comes out the other side?

I've just hit publish on the photos and videos for the last conference in May. It's wonderful to reflect now a few months have passed on what an amazing day it was. I'll look back at the years we ran All Day Hey! with incredibly fond memories.

Chop Suey on Chambers Street: the thread about Edinburgh’s first Chinese restaurant 中式餐廳

Edinburgh is spoiled for restaurants serving global cuisine. Go back 100 years however and your options were far more limited and localised. That all changed with the arrival of the "Chinese Restaurant" in 1930. It is long gone and accounts of it are contradictory and vague. This thread provides a factual account of this lesser-known institution of the city's diaspora.

Imagine losing a court case that directly affects you, despite the fact that you’ve done nothing wrong, you have no standing, and no right to appeal. This is the reality for trans people in the UK.

1/🧵 The SNP government has decided not to appeal Lady Ross’s decree from the bench to torture trans prisoners and has no plan to change the prison Rules. They are preparing for the physical transfer of trans women in prison to male estates.

when i said 'let’s circle back to that' i more meant, like, in a different era, a different city, another life. let's circle back to it when we're old, or maybe when we're young again...we'll circle back in vienna, or in cairo, or in those slender black cat streets of paris, streetlamps and gossip

"This thing is developer catnip, and I don’t mind saying that I was really excited to try it out — after which point I willed myself to tuck it away in a drawer and put it out of my mind." Mr. @wil.to cracking into ariaNotify(): css-tricks.com/the-siren-so...

The Siren Song of  ariaNotify() | CSS-Tricks

There's a brand new ariaNotify() method — defined by the WAI-ARIA 1.3 Specification — that provides a means of programmatically triggering narration in a screen reader.
