Yes, sometimes I also like, reshare content about women in tech because guess what, I'm a human being who happens to be a queer woman working in the tech industry and this affects my work and the work of many of us. There's many accounts only tweeting work stuff, follow them
Trying to share any and all ideas for the next iteration of my site on dribbble, so any feedback you have is appreciated https://dribbble.com/shots/6342437-Homepage-Style-Experiment
I want it to be fun and concise

I see many amazing women in our industry, super good at HTML, CSS and Accessibility. Yet they don't find a nice and well paid job because they don't know fancy JS frameworks. JS became a big gate keeper. Yet we NEED people good at HTML/CSS. We just don't want to pay them.

Pro tip: be extra nice to retail staff. It’s super busy and then they’ll have to put a load of sale stuff out tomorrow, too.
It’s a horrible time of year to work in retail.
Is there a way to auto-redirect followers from one mastodon account to another? I keep getting follow requests on my dot social account

The "Template Parts" proposal is perhaps the most underappreciated proposal in DOM land. https://github.com/domenic/template-parts. It's early days - but it could mean template languages are a thing of the past:

🚨 A short-term project has been pushed into 2019, so that means I've got some availability for December.
It's the perfect amount of time for a small website project 🚀
