A week long holiday with kids is mostly just mopping up sick, isn’t it?
Just the other day I learned that you can emulate a focused page from Chrome dev tools and, quite frankly, it has been life changing. DevTools > command palette (Ctrl Shift P or Cmd Shift P on mac) > "Emulate a focused page".

I've been rather anti-web3 up until now. Mostly because it seemed pointless and an Earth killer. Should I reconsider now that @ethereum has done this merge thing?

Hey folks, I have a friend who's design systems team literally just got laid off. They're a seasoned design lead with a high bar for craft and I wouldn't recommend them if they weren't ✨high quality✨ Who's design systems teams are hiring? Appreciate it!

A lovely walk in the Picos de Europa today. Not seen so many butterflies since I last visited Pili Palas

If you build calendars on the web and abbreviate the days in the column headings (you *do* use column headings, yeah?), this is how it sounds to a JAWS user. Demo: codepen.io/aardrian/pen/JjLZ… Debug mode: cdpn.io/pen/debug/JjLZayQ Probably expand them to human words.

Cantabria is beautiful. It’s hot enough to go to the beach and swim without melting. The food and wine are good and we haven’t met a single other British tourist. Glad we’ve made the boat trip over to a part of Spain I haven’t explored until now.

A week into the job hunt and I’ve started baking bread again.

Here's a range input version on @CodePen: codepen.io/thebabydino/pen/X… ✨can drag thumb with JS disabled ✨receives focus ✨keyboard navigation ✨clicking track moves thumb there/ changes slider value ✨seen as slider in Accessibility panel ✨no library needed, so less code in total
Screenshot of DevTools Accessibility panel for the range input version of the SVG slider mentioned in previous tweet. It's seen as a slider, its value, minimum and maximum are seen as well and it's seen as labeled by a label element.

Does anyone have suggestions for handling a tidal wave of recruiter messages on @LinkedIn? How do you filter out the noise and find the decent ones?

Looking after the littlest one today. She's letting me know how she feels about that by repeating the word "mum" over and over.

Hopin is restructuring and I am looking for a new role. Ideal job is an engineer role growing a design system where I can bring a laser-eyed focus on accessibility and usability. Prefer remote and I’m UK based. Let me know about relevant vacancies. Retweets appreciated.

I'm trying to eliminate snapshot tests in a code base. So often, I've found that these tests: 1. don't test what they are supposed to be testing 2. assume that jsdom is an actual functioning browser All nicely hidden behind a snapshot.
