@Sha_shukla04 This is not a real button for everyone. Using role=button does not add the expected keyboard and screen reader behaviour. <button> is a real button, why complicate things?

@jimmiejephson Same! It’s always good to meet people IRL

[Emma Dawson @EmmaDawsonDev]

@eddiejaoude That’s great news! Congrats!

[Emma Dawson @EmmaDawsonDev]

Thank you! I will do that. I haven’t been here so much myself lately. I want to apply but then I get imposter syndrome panic and then procrastinate until it’s too late. I need someone to hold me accountable and tell me to snap out of it 😅 I really need to sit down & write some cfps at the weekend

[Emma Dawson @EmmaDawsonDev]

I’d like to start applying to frontend conferences to talk about web accessibility. If you were going to a frontend conference what would you want to hear about?

[Emma Dawson @EmmaDawsonDev]

@YuriDevAT @grusp Thanks! I’ve not seen this site before!

I realised I also really need to find someone to keep me accountable as I say I want to apply then procrastinate writing the actual cfp and miss the deadline 🤦🏻‍♀️

I’m also on mastodon if anyone wants to connect there instead @[email protected]

@cathy_codes I commend you! If I had to do it on the phone, it wouldn’t get done. The phone phobia would win out every time!

[Emma Dawson @EmmaDawsonDev]

@maxcallstack I’m not sure where I’d even start with a talk like that 😅

[Emma Dawson @EmmaDawsonDev]

@jimmiejephson I would love to change people’s minds about that too!

[Emma Dawson @EmmaDawsonDev]

@RacheleDiTullio Agreed. I'd almost rather pay the (extortionate) price to just sit the exam again because trying to keep track of the credits is a nightmare.

I know I've watched more than enough webinars and conferences that I should have enough credits but sending them in is a big blocker

@ELeeZimmerman @cljwebdev It was actually on LinkedIn but both have equally rubbish search functionality

[Emma Dawson @EmmaDawsonDev]

When you see a post by someone on social media then two hours later when you want to show it to someone you can’t for the life of you find it ANYWHERE 😬

@OfficialStickPM I was on my phone

[Emma Dawson @EmmaDawsonDev]

My timeline seems to be full of Wordpress drama. Time to get heavy with the mute button

[Emma Dawson @EmmaDawsonDev]

@eddiejaoude Believe me, there is drama in every industry. It’s not just a tech thing

[Emma Dawson @EmmaDawsonDev]

@YuriDevAT @DevFestVienna How did it go?

[Emma Dawson @EmmaDawsonDev]

@dunsincodes They’re super annoying and shouldn’t automatically play. Let me choose if I want to play it or not
