    I converted my talk, "Dear Developer, the Web Isn't About You", into a page that you can read at you leisure. Check it out if you want to learn more about universal design, performance, diversity, and empathy.

    There's a huge number of replies from devs who would be doing anything else if it paid half as well. That says a lot about our industry...

    It is amazing and oh-so-very telling that every tech person I know has a backup job idea.

    I’ve found that some of the best people in tech are this way because they are naturally interdisciplinary 👍

    Do any of you tech folk ever think about just quitting tech altogether? Opening a bakery, or retraining as a park ranger? I'd love to look after a forest for a living. There would be a far lower chance of a guy being in the forest and starting an argument due to his insecurities.

    Part 2: What do you think non-technical folks think of? What defines a "Rockstar Developer" to someone outside of development?

    Doing research for a little project: what do you think of when you hear about 10x Developers, or see jobs for "rockstar" or "ninja" developers?

    White supremacy is a virus. Let us starve it. Don’t be a host. Take away white supremecists’ conference stages, jobs, recommendations, tools. Unfollow and stop engaging with them. Instead, give those platforms, energy, and time to people most harmed by white supremacy.

    I will completely understand when ordinary people start hunting down developers and tech entrepreneurs with pitchforks. They must absolutely despise us.

    Hey . I run the digital accessibility team at . Accessibility isn't difficult. If anyone in your Product/Design/Tech team say it is then you should be questioning their competence rather than defending them. Would you like some advice?

    A modest proposal for fixing the US gun problem: Every time there’s a spree shooting with fatalities, summarily execute a GOP senator. I give it 1-2 weeks.

    (I am 6 months pregnant) Me after ordering my coffee: Stranger at Starbucks: you know you should be drinking decaf when you’re pregnant. Me: I’m... not pregnant. Stranger: (horrified) I am so, so sorry! And that’s what you get for giving unsolicited advice.

    Translated by Microsoft: I wonder why my wife keeps staying out so late.

    Women get mostly infertile at 40, but live to be 80. Without a family, what are you going to do with those 40 long long years?
