So they got their images, CSS and JS as small as they could.

Could they minify their HTML? They only used line break characters, removed comments, removed whitespace.

But IE didn't like the code all being on one line so they put a new line in first attribute of each element. #SotB26

Performance _is_ accessibility. I think there is so much opportunity for me and my colleagues to raise the bar at the #RaspberryPiFoundation to improve access to kids and educators around the world.

Mike Hall at #SotB26.

When I talk to people about web quality, they always mention measures based on code #readability and #maintainability. Rarely or never do they mention #performance, #accessibility, or #userExperience.

Also, if confs are not your jam, I'll try and reliably post and repost with the #FastFlowConf tag for easy filtering. ✌️

Friends or strangers, I'm solo at #FastFlowConf today. Say hello and learn with me! 👋

I think it's my first conf since I started my current role, the COVID-19 pandemic, motherhood, and organising #FrontEndNorth. I'm a bit excited, a bit daunted, and frankly ready for it.

A huge turnout at Sheffield's trans rights rally, with around a thousand people gathered outside the Town Hall to protest the Supreme Court ruling.

Hey Bluesky, who is active here? Give me any sort of interaction. 📈🔊🤔

I'd like to reengage with my social and professional circles again, and am trying to decide whether to start with Mastodon or Bluesky.
