After screaming for several months non-stop about it, my pal Lucy Bellwood has finally relented and is now starting to blog more often. Lucy writes (and this is why you should subscribe to this RSS feed immediately): I’m lying in the dark, brain whirring. Too much Borges before bed. There’s a dog baying at regular...

One thing I’ve noticed in video games this past year is the huge improvement they’ve made when it comes to accessibility. Crack open The Last of Us: Part II or Watch Dogs: Legion or Gears 5 and they’ll begin with a series of accessibility options that can be tweaked and improved for you and your body. These options...

Woh Hei Yuen is a little park in Chinatown and I’m the only one here; I’m sat at a picnic table in the dark and the cold, looking forlornly at the pagoda across from me where a cat is showing off, prowling along the very top. This whole time I’ve been watching this cat I can’t help but wonder if he’s about to give...

It’s so very strange when you’ve been talking to someone for 6 months and then, suddenly, from nothing but a quick look, you can see how they feel. You've spent so much time with them that they can’t hide anything from you; all their tells are now revealed. Language takes a back seat and you can read so much more in...

Here’s a nifty event hosted by Sentry that’s all about the future of front-end development: Join us on November 10th for yet another virtual event. Learn how application monitoring is more than just a failsafe for frontend development — it’s a competitive advantage that improves collaboration, code, customer...

When a design crit goes south, it’s almost impossible to take all that brutal feedback and focus on course correction; going back to the interface, reviewing ten thousand comments, limping away and reassessing my approach to the problem. Instead, when I get feedback like I received earlier today, I sorta just want...

I love this post from Mark Story about how he used the Sentry app on a big refactor of Sentry itself: Recently we used Sentry to ensure we didn’t break Sentry while doing a large refactor. When replacing an API or code path with a new implementation you’ll likely ‘deprecate’ the old path, but how do you know when...

I wrote about how to not be a jerk the other day and some of my experiences when it comes to making websites faster: This was definitely shocking to learn when I joined a company a few years ago and found that there was a mountain of performance work that I couldn’t do alone. I started trying to teach folks about...

I was ranting about work the other day—what I was stressed about, how I’m not good at my job, how I feel like progress is never made—and my pal stopped me short and said “the least interesting thing about you is your job.” And, well, woof.

I want to quote this whole piece by Mandy Brown about rereading books but to avoid plagiarism I will only mention this graf: Reread a book enough times, or often enough—keep it at hand so you can flip to dog-eared pages and marked up passages here and there—and it will eventually root itself in your mind. It becomes...

I don’t know how much I agree with Slava Akhmechet on how to get promoted, but I do think this is true: Most good work doesn't look good. Sometimes it interferes with other people and tanks your career. But mostly it doesn't look bad either. It just doesn't look like much of anything. First: #designsystems. Second:...
