Hi Bsky!

My new fave phrase is "action absorbs anxiety". How have I never heard that one before?! It's so simple and beautiful. No more procrastinating your side project idea — your action will absorb your anxiety! Let's gooo!

I chatted this week with a designer who also codes a bit. His company has mandated use of cursor, even reprimanding those who don't use it enough. Sounds grim to me.

After being inspired by a book called "A Job To Love", I added some psychology writing into my book on switching careers to web dev. I have to say, this book writing thing is really fun.

A11y friends, can you please advise what WAI-ARIA pattern most closely matches the following?

A group of 3 buttons that act as information filters. Only one can be active at a time. They are not part of a form. Using JavaScript, they show or hide information based on the value of a data-attribute.

I wanted to check out the LinkedIn profile of someone new at work, saw how many people I know still post there, and decided to post about my book.

Result — I am going to be on a podcast talking about the book 😂

Happy to have my copy!

I am now syndicating posts to Bluesky from my personal site. These words were written in a code editor.

I can take two weeks off of work (a Bildungsurlaub) to learn anything I want. I'm thinking UI/UX design. If anyone can recommend an online course they or someone they know loved, I'd appreciate it! 🕵🏻‍♀️

Please recommend courses or other resources for how to effectively debug JavaScript!

Beep boop

Unpopular opinion: JavaScript isn't all that complicated. It's just... logical, innit?
