Hey, y'all!
It's a fresh, new week.
Have you had the opportunity check out the blog? What do you think?
In case it wasn’t clear:
If your designs aren’t accessible they aren’t going to work.
Your average user does not exist.
This is an incorrect bias is built on an ableism.
People have disabilities.
You need accessibility or your designs will not work at scale.
Full stop.
I promised my Ko-fi backers an update on the prop project I'm working on for them, and here it is!

We're just beginning and have big plans for the year. Keep an eye on the website, the @devmio.bsky.social account, and my own channel here.
I approach each conversation with an open mind and encourage you to do the same.
...to champion their causes, express their excitement, and educate and inform us in a guided manner. I work with each guest to provide context to the technologies and help explain how, when, and for whom it is useful. How did we get here? What are the limitations? What's next?
I'm super excited to share the Signals Podcast is live! devm.io/signals-podc...
This is the culmination of nearly two years of conversations and is produced by an amazing team of people. I'm just the lucky one who gets to be the face of the thing.
My goal is to give space for engineers...
You are seen. You are loved. You are beautiful. You deserve to be happy. To be free. To be yourself. Yes, you.

If anyone in the industry wants help with their resume, portfolio, personal website, whatever -- pro bono, my DMs are wide open.
I just called someone I hadn't talked to in 7-8 years and he was excited to talk, gave me advice, and told me his services weren't best for me. People remember those who treat them with kindness and respect. The world is small and it's not a zero-sum game. We can succeed together.
I've given a lot of career advice over the years but the #1 remains: "Be someone people want to work with (again)"
Don't forget that the lobbying by TurboTax and Intuit is a big reason we don't have easy online filing from the government.
It looks like the secret is out! Since the beginning of the year I've been working with @devmio.bsky.social on the all-new Signals podcast. I'll share more later, but this is the first episode we recorded, with John Davies.

New blog post!
Did you catch our talk with @bargegames.com right before Thanksgiving, talking about Twenty Flights?
If you didn't, it's some good stuff! Here's a summary and the video!
I'm slowly getting caught up on these, y'all!

What I'm seeing increasingly is that companies are giving some teams nails and some teams screws and then getting pissed when not everyone uses the same screwdriver.
Punishing an employee (context: software development) for not using a specific tool is an incompetent management take. It's the managers' responsibility to set quality and performance expectations and metrics, and hold employees accountable for that.
One thing to consider based upon the laptop and Linux version, some desktops still struggle with mixed screen resolution (HD on one screen, 4k on the other). Fix should be generally available by the end of the year 🤞🏻
I run Linux Mint and had no problem using Fantasy Grounds when Tony was running Star Trek for us.
I've been running Linux on Think Pads since they were IBM and it works very well. No specific complaints and I basically don't even consider other laptop brands at this point.
