Separate is Not Equal When trying our best to support the European Accessibility Act, we need to be careful to avoid two major fallacies I've seen.

It's been a minute, but I finally got around to writing down some thoughts I've had for the past few years on #accessibility. Would love it if y'all could give it a read and let me know what you think!

LEGO® Seaside Scene MOC A minimalist seaside scene using color to convey depth and distance in the water.

In a break from the craziness of life, I wrote a post about a #lego moc design from my weekend. Hope you enjoy! kylewest.dev/blog/moc/min...

Potato Code One of the best developers I know deployed a hilarious mistake to production.

1st #design challenge of the new year: a minor refresh to my website!

Better dark mode. New font. More accurate GitHub stats.

I chose "DM Mono" as my font because I feel like it gives off "friendly programmer" vibes. Before I was a long font-family set, and it was devoid of all personality. #lgtm

My main #resolution for new years is to become better at UI design. I understand many of the principles around what makes a good user experience, but I know I have a lot to learn around how to make something look good. I'll try to post here more about my learning journey. Wish me luck!

Python code with lots of slang I don't know what it means.

Well I'm officially 30 now. Someone made a python library "with Rizz" and there are too many slangs that I've never heard of.

I had to look up: "just put the fries in the bag bro", haha. I'm probably going to use it wrong, and but I'm unashamed to try.
