I'm only one module in and I'm absolutely loving @JoshWComeau's CSS course 🙌 Such a thorough approach to teaching, not shying away from but embracing the messiness of CSS. Best Black Friday money spent by far

Software is one of the least structured and constantly evolving paths, so its reassuring see thought leaders sharing their journey One takeaway: accessibility is often neglected by developers which creates a need for advocacy. Be patient, and bring people on the journey with you

Even the wizard @mattpocockuk has to ignore Typescript sometimes, so don’t feel too bad if you do it too! However, how you suppress TS matters; ts-expect-error is preferable over ts-ignore as it will throw an error if the error itself goes away, prompting you to remove it 🧹

Excellent article on React.memo by @TkDodo 🙌 It can be tempting to slap memo and useMemo all over your code base and consider perf optimisation complete 🚀 but there are many pitfalls that React devs are often not aware of. Highly recommended read 📖

WCAG criteria for visible focus and drag-based interaction are changing in a big way 👀 Unlike most 2.1 AA level issues, these new criteria will be challenging to develop automated tests for, so developers need to upskill and complete more manual testing to ensure compliance 🏅

#5 🎯 Without product-market-fit, it really doesn’t matter how well built your thing is. As a developer, you should feel comfortable asking tough product questions when changing roles

Excellent episode and hopefully the start of a new Accessibility-focused mini-series from @syntaxfm @stolinski and @wesbos answer common and less common questions about heading levels and their importance for assistive tech

How do you build an accessible component library for your SaaS? Starting with a headless UI library like @radix_ui gives you a huge head start: - easy-to-use API - great accessibility built-in - styling flexibility if you use primitives, or, - "bootstrap but good" with themes

If your app is client-side React, it's probably inaccessible ❌ SPAs, by nature of being single-page, provide a poor navigation experience for screen reader users OAF Project shows us a great solution, which I'll be demoing in an upcoming video 👀 github.com/oaf-project/oa…
