Sorry devs, your job shouldn’t be easier at the expense of the user. Start writing native JavaScript and get out of the Angular/React bloat. https://alistapart.com/article/breaking-the-deadlock-between-user-experience-and-developer-experience 🔄 0 👍 1 Original URL

I posted about some really interesting topics this week like an ethics based guide for designers, the systematic exclusion of women in front-end dev, and electric scooters. Scooters got the biggest reaction #forshame 🔄 0 👍 4 Original URL

A few paragraphs in, this article describes the rise in “programming” in front-end dev as a concerted effort to exclude women from the growing prestige of that field. Good article with an eye opening take that I 100% agree with. https://zendev.com/2018/09/11/css-dismissal-is-about-exclusion-not-technology.html 🔄 3 👍 2 Original URL

@drtoddharper That’s an excellent question. I take the light rail to and from work. But having a job where I work late, I wanted to try a scooter to see what it was like to ride from the light rail stop to my house. So, in the spirit of adventure, I brought one to the station. The long way. 🔄 0 👍 0 Original URL
