The journey to a final design is often lost in the glamorous shots we post online.

Planting a flag at the top of a mountain is great, but the challenges we face along the way are what many find interesting.

Don’t be afraid to share your achievements. Every exciting step of it.

♛ Matt E. Patterson shows why a new WebSockets-driven approach is catching web developers’ attention, and how it can mean faster, easier development that results in an experience every bit as rich as client-side SPAs!

I've heard the phrase, "We don't need a tech lead", from a number of engineers in my career. My response to this 👇

@jesseddy Love this one by @jmspool .. often times I see fake quotes instead of having an actual scenario :)

👏👏👏 @Apple is planning to implement new anti-tracking features on iPhone. This would be a major win for privacy!

BUT they’ve delayed the roll-out due to advertiser pressure. Add your name, and tell Apple to stay strong. https://t.co/LkXUg0I5QP

I've just further opened up the Tactical Design section in our tech documentation to the public https://t.co/QtdfVW8f3N (see the sidebar). The first thing you'll notice is.. What?!? UML?!

Thread 🧵

[Wisen Tanasa @ceilfors]

11/ I'm especially excited to see real-world UML examples from others, please share them with me if you have come across any! What's your thoughts on this / UML?

[Wisen Tanasa @ceilfors]

We have opened our software design documentation to the public. https://t.co/mt3LhUAQr1

[New blog post!]: The failed promise of Web Components

https://t.co/qtQgOXaCT3

This started as a series of tweets, but I quickly realized I needed something more long form to properly unfold my thoughts.

[Jen Simmons @jensimmons]

Can you imagine trying to get through this pandemic without the web?

Without the internet would be awful — zero connectivity. But, imagine if we only had “apps” and no web. The web is where we learn, where we discover, where we share with strangers.

It’s never been more needed.

Want to view a single image on @imgur (literally its only job)? Good luck! You gotta successfully download (354KB) and run (1.21MB) of client-side React in order to get your image requested as resource 110 of 553. What should have been an IMG element became… this.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Surprise!✨I am thrilled to announce the launch of our #GreenNewDeal art series with custom Bronx & Queens GND posters.

Domino’s will ask the Supreme Court to reverse the 9th Circuit decision that their website should be accessible to the blind.

In court docs, Domino’s revealed it would’ve cost $38,000 to make it accessible.

They’re fighting this.

Lesson here — don't learn React only, also learn JavaScript. Don't only learn Bootstrap, also learn CSS.

The tools will change. The underlying technologies won't. (They'll evolve, but they won't go away.)

This shows up as an "add-on" (see pic) & is super handy.

If you prefer manually installing it, this is the Github repo:

Uncomfortable truth: many people are uncomfortable talking about people w/ disabilities in general, let alone people w/ disabilities using their digital products, which to me is one reason why we are still largely left out of the #diversity and #inclusion in #tech conversation

[Larry Tesler @nomodes]

@fx86 To create a really great UX, observe users until you can see through their eyes. Then redesign and retest until no friction remains.

Blobbing in the studio today w/ the Vive + ARKit. Definitely some huge mixed reality potential here. 😍😍😍😍
