Calling all web developers! Browsers are all meeting up next week (www.w3.org/events/tpac/...). I want your voice to be heard! Tell me your biggest problems, and tell me what you want to see from the platform. What problems are tough to solve, but could be easier?
Long COVID has ruined my ability to do my full-time software job as well as grad school.
I'm ready to cut out the friends who STILL won't wear a medical mask around me.
