And you wonder why women don’t want to get into Engineering... 🤦🏻‍♀️

Hey #WebDev / #CodeNewbie / #100DaysOfCode friends!

🤹‍♀️💻 I want to build an educational game to make a tricky topic fun and inviting!

Which would you most like to see made into a game?

(Inspiration: see the awesome projects by @geddski, @flukeout, @worrydream, @ncasenmare) 😍

🚀 Day 3 of #devAdvent: SubFont, by @_munter_!

There are best practices for font loading performance that can shave second of load time. With Subfont, Peter automated the whole process. I used to do a lot of this by hand, now it's quick as an npm i!

88% of all jobs are gotten through friends & family, & 75% of white people have all-white social networks. We need to ACTIVELY work against the structural barriers that keep Black & Latinx folks out of tech. #StepInto2040 & donate today! https://t.co/CHMvUWrwvN #GivingTuesday

See you all next month!

I've gotten so many emails after talks where a man will tell me I said a single thing wrong. It's worse when they approach me after and test me on my knowledge to see if I really do know what I'm talking about, b/c I said something small like "attribute" instead of "property" 😐

[GDI Los Angeles @girlDevelopItLA]
