I’m really enjoying summer here (winter was a bit tough though due to constant rain and NO SUN).
Before this, we had several super sunny weeks, around 23-30°C, it was enough 🤝🥰
And look ar the air quality, it’s always good or excellent 🌸💕

@mokevnin Заметили. Они добавляют много aria, но это не всегда хорошо для доступности, к сожалению.

Есть интересная статистика от webaim https://t.co/HKQxw4qwAI про количество ошибок и возросшее количество aria per page

It’d be nice if the teams involved in customer support actually tried using it themselves 😔

Apple Developer program enrollment does not work and redirects to support. Let me in 😔

New research shows that only 45% of software engineering leaders rate UX skills as highly important.

I've been doing this for 31 years. This statistic doesn't surprise me. It just tires me out a little.

The argument I've been making since roughly forever is that UX isn't decoration you apply to a product once the engineers have finished building it. It's the thing that determines whether anyone can actually use what you built. Engineering leaders who don't rate it as important tend to discover that the hard way, usually around the time their support ticket volume starts climbing or their conversion rate inexplicably refuses to improve.

The slightly depressing additional finding is that only 14% of those same leaders put customer feedback and usage analytics in their top five priorities. Which means many of them aren't building things users can use AND aren't collecting the data that would tell them that.

Thirty-one years, and the conversation hasn't moved as much as I'd like.

Tried Multica today, created a team, and played Scrum.
Very interesting. Very addictive. Basically The Sims.

Did we achieve the sprint goal? NO.
So yeah, it sounds like real life.

@TanyaTretyak Ого, сочувствую всем в этой истории 🥺 страшно, что домашний котик так может себя повести

@calm_owl У меня была тошнота и учащенное сердцебиение сразу после выхода из наркоза. Но это быстро прошло.

In graph theory, there are algorithms that find the shortest path between two nodes. I made one with pure CSS (including the graph drawing).

Drag the nodes, and the shortest path will update in real-time!

Has anyone tried using a11y audits via BrowserStack in CI/CD? It seems to have some false positive issues, which makes me think it’s not as good as they try to market it 😕
