I'm speaking at @nuxuk.bsky.social Sheffield this Thursday evening. I'll be sharing my personal experiences of 'blowing up' the Web, looking at problematic UX and broken layouts when we enlarge websites. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/nux-sheffi...

First slide from my 'Honey I Blew Up the Web' talk

Today, I spoke at the inaugural #DUNC26 in Hull—a real gem of a city. The conference packed so much diversity of content into a one-day, one-track event, BUT! My favourite takeaway is that every single speaker listed a personal site/blog in their slides. I visited every one of them. What a day.

I'm listening to a podcast and they're talking about fatty caterpillars. A bit of a coincidence considering I'm on my way to speak about a hungry caterpillar at Developers Up North in Hull tomorrow. 🐛 #dunc26

Finally tried using PHPStorm again due to this post. I am really impressed by how much more accessible it has become.

It’s Global Accessibility Awareness Day next Thursday. I’ll be at @leedsphp.bsky.social the day before speaking about why backend engineers need to consider digital accessibility. www.meetup.com/leedsphp/eve... #php #accessibility #GAAD
