"Write accessible code or get sued!" This ain't it "Write accessible code for SEO." No "Write accessible code for AI." Nooo "Write accessible code for blind people." ...better "Write accessible code cause you're a god-damn professional that takes pride in their work." Now we're talking.

I've gone from being awed by the advances of the internet and mobile devices and gaming, to the point it dictated my career choices, to dreading every single new way they try to rip us off and sabotage what we use on purpose.

💥 did a small drawing explaining the JS execution model including the event loop. I hope it’s helpful to folks. Debugging is always easier when the underlying implementations are understood.

⚓️ New Article: ADHD pride

ADHD pride

Yesterday, I received this unsolicited email from a basic white dude named Stephen… Having your second identity on your home page be a “disorder” is cringe and not professional. Maybe your therapist tells you to announce your “disability”, and maybe this is normal within your friend group, but outside of these two slivers of society, that was created in the last 10 years for some really bad reasons, others with many other life experiences see this use of ADHD as a cry for pity and/or a use of victimhood to excuse yourself from being a white male with lots of advantages and abilities.

Besides the effects on the tech industry, right now there are H-1B holders—people—who built a life in the US. If they are traveling, they have 17 hours to get back to the US, or the life they built will be shattered and taken from them. Can you imagine constantly living with this uncertainty?

I've been working on modal components all summer, and I'm really excited to release the first piece of this: string select and label components in modals! You can finally put select menus in your bot's modals, and give more information with field descriptions!

A screenshot of a "Bug Report" modal, with a select menu labeled "What's your favorite bug?" and a paragraph text input labeled "Why is it your favorite?" with a description "Please provide as much detail as possible!"

“I wasn’t sure what number you wanted me to go with.” — Zuck, 100% pathetically bitch-made by a man who said he should be thrown in jail for life, appeasing an administration who says his wife’s family isn’t American, loving how RFK is dismantling every public health advancement that CZI ever made.

I read an interesting paper on the history of the QWERTY keyboard. The keyboard evolved from an 1859 keyboard with half the alphabet in order and the second half backward. You can still see this ordering on the bottom rows of the modern keyboard, although many keys have moved over the years.

Line drawing of a keyboard for a printing telegraph. Letters A-M are on the top row and letters O-Z are on the bottom row backward. The keyboard is similar to a piano keyboard if black keys were in all the positions.A Macbook keyboard, showing the letters that are in alphabetical order in the second row and in reverse alphabetical order in the third row. Specifically, the letters are A, D, F, G, H, J, K, L in the second row and M, N, V, X, Z in the third row. Thus, 13 out of 26 letters have the alphabetical pattern.
