RT @wearecolorblind: A great guide to color accessibility in design by @justinreyreyna: https://t.co/pl5cgEz4OW https://t.co/Xn1cm6r8jEoriginal ↗

RT @WebDevLaw: TechUK is an invitation-only body of rent-a-quote sycophants who know how their bread is buttered, particularly at their air-kissing black tie vanity award dinners in Whitehall. They do not speak for real tech workers, and they do not speak for me. https://t.co/pv4BsVA5Lmoriginal ↗

RT @davidmacd: Hey Devs: I know you are amazing in REACT and ANGULAR, but please learn HTML, its the fundamental language of accessibility.original ↗

RT @JamieJBartlett: The BBC is running a ‘fake news week’. To mark the occasion, I thought I’d do a thread. ‘Fake news’ is a very unhelpful term, which describes at least three different problems, which have three different solutions. #Threadoriginal ↗

RT @incendiebruyere: It’s hammered with traffic right now, but https://t.co/w9seVxaAnT maps the recorded homes of WWI casualties in your neighbourhood, and I can’t think of a better way to teach young people about the absurdity of war than that. https://t.co/ynt8lLUfNeoriginal ↗

RT @MrAlanCooper: When I started programming, it was a solo skill, performed by individuals, with little or no sharing and virtually no collaboration. A culture was built around those facts. 1original ↗

RT @RyanTownsend: “The long tail isn’t the same people every time […] at some point, we’re all in that” – flights, trains, rural areas, network congestion, battery saving and hundreds of other situations affect everyone, even on the fastest devices @tkadlec at #PerfNow https://t.co/GNADSCYwBqoriginal ↗

I can’t make this event, but can wholeheartedly say @OpenApiSpec is wonderful no matter what programming language you prefer https://t.co/57XPTxqi0Ooriginal ↗

RT @timberners_lee: Join the @webfoundation’s campaign #ForTheWeb. Work for the web. March for the web. Fight for the web. Together we can build the web we want #ForEveryone. Get involved here: https://t.co/cw39fNEoxe #WebSummitoriginal ↗

RT @timberners_lee: We’re at a 50/50 moment for the web. We’ve created something amazing together, but half the world is still not online, and our online rights and freedoms are at risk. The web has done so much for us, but now we need to stand up #ForTheWeb #WebSummitoriginal ↗

RT @AaronGustafson: ? Damning but true: “A $500 billion company such as Facebook should have higher standards than a college freshman rushing to finish a term paper.” https://t.co/U4xJ5jNCUToriginal ↗

RT @WebDevLaw: Now that I’ve recovered from various events, I’m ready to start writing paid commissions again. (Just not GDPR please, you had yer lot) https://t.co/p4Szl9JauHoriginal ↗

RT @AnneLouiseAvery: Bloomsbury, 1933, and each week my father & his pals were going to meetings & marches to try to do something, anything, about the rising anti-semitism in Germany. Everyone was fully aware of what was happening. Fully aware. This was six years before the outbreak of war. https://t.co/mXJ8ICnVGOoriginal ↗

Not sure how I feel about this. What if the script fails to load? There’s a tradeoff between security and availability, but it’s a tough call on a login page. https://t.co/H60s2ZkQfvoriginal ↗

RT @SafeSelfDrive: BTW, instead of “self-driven cars,” I intend to use term “software-driven cars” from now on, and would urge others to do the same. Car does not have a “self.” There is no agency. “Software-driven” informs us about risk, and the people who are–or should be–responsible for it.original ↗

RT @betsythemuffin: Don’t claim that learning a new technology is easy. Say that it might be tricky at first, but that it’s worth it. When you say something’s easy, then struggle becomes “stupidity.” When you say something’s tricky, struggle becomes “perseverance” and learning becomes “victory.”original ↗

RT @PopTechWorks: I’m often asked “Aren’t tools are neutral? Isn’t it the intentions of users that matter?” As a semi-pro brick mason, I respond: I have seven different trowels. Each evolved for a specific task: a bucket trowel transports mortar, a pointing trowel tucks it into joints. (1/4)original ↗

RT @brucel: “Technology by itself can’t solve problems” – @johnmaeda. Totes agree (but I put it more crassly: I hate computers, but I love what you can do with them. https://t.co/z91CpQWp2e) #SmashingConforiginal ↗

RT @mor10: I have a huge idea. To communicate this idea sufficiently, I need to write a book. To write that book, I need to read a long list of books and articles published in the last several years. My dyslexia makes that an almost insurmountable task.original ↗

RT @WebDevLaw: I kind of felt like you were all looking at me to say something about the whole thing so here it is. https://t.co/WB8M2HEyQZoriginal ↗

RT @brad_frost: This matches my experience working with several teams who bit down hard on React, which unfortunately alienated designers and more traditional web developers. I wrote some thoughts about this: https://t.co/sioZlZd6dYoriginal ↗

RT @simonw: Startup idea: clone today’s popular web apps but do it with minimal JavaScript and fast server-side performance and out-compete them on the next billion international web users with cheap Android devicesoriginal ↗

RT @CarrieForde: I’ve tweeted a lot about how much I love #gutenberg and the super positive impact it’s made for the marketing folks I work with everyday. But despite my love for it, I can’t responsibly support it being merged into core until it’s accessibility is improved.original ↗

RT @redcrew: Easiest way to make your content accessible to everyone? On any device? Plain old semantic HTML. #a11yoriginal ↗
21 Oct 2018
RT @mor10: Web #accessibility is not “only” about meeting coding and color guidelines. It’s also about reducing cognitive load and designing for cognitive differences. Excellent @alistapart piece, highly relevant to the current #WordPress + #Gutenberg situation https://t.co/lgll1tMIEmoriginal ↗
17 Oct 2018
RT @vavroom: I wish developers took 2 minutes to navigate their pages using only a keyboard. So many accessibility issues would get identified this way. #a11y And it’s not like the keyboard is a deeply esoteric accessibility testing tool. I suspect most developers still use it daily.original ↗
17 Oct 2018
RT @steipete: We added metrics to see who’s not using default font size on iOS, and the numbers were surprising! If you don’t support Dynamic Type, you’ll worsen the experience for at least a quarter of your users. Detailed stats + tips to support inside. https://t.co/OgvJw9HAgxoriginal ↗

RT @WebDevLaw: Apparently the House of Commons uses my Brexit tech policy blog at https://t.co/4Vxk0bFHwM. Which, if nothing else, tells you how screwed we are.original ↗

This is crazy. Come on people, if your company is affected by privacy, GDPR or Brexit, and you’ve researched what ypu need to do about them, then you have – directly or indirectly – benefitted from Heather’s work. Fund her. https://t.co/pH6NVZGcyworiginal ↗

Paul puts into eloquent words what I also feel. When I look at the technology landscape of today, I fear for the dystopian future we are building. https://t.co/OFklbVWfHkoriginal ↗

RT @adoran2: https://t.co/j4YzrnfBc0 is fascinating (hat-tip to Chris Weston on the latest WB40 podcast). Stuff I had never thought about, including: What happens to UK businesses with .eu domain names? How will mobile roaming work if you live near the … https://t.co/0dVo4vZVD2original ↗

RT @zeldman: How have we devolved from “the web is for everyone” to sites that take 10 seconds to load and only work correctly in Chrome? The web should be about durable, inclusive, aesthetic design. @jontangerine #AEAORL #design #philosophyoriginal ↗
10 Oct 2018
RT @mor10: Accessibility, on the web, in #WordPress, and in #Gutenberg, is THE job: the entire purpose of the web is to make the publishing of and access to information #accessible. If it’s not accessible, the work is not done.original ↗

This is my fear with “modern” web development: that the shiny distracts from the real innovation of the web – its universality. https://t.co/pwcaJ3WgD4original ↗
