This is good advice even for those with 20 years experience. Thanks for the reminder @scott.is 💛 piccalilli.link/md-q-and-a-5
"If you were to give a beginner one piece of advice, what would it be?

Learn to really, thoroughly and completely enjoy being shit at something. The process of learning is chaotic, nonlinear, and uniquely human. You’re getting stuck in and you’re deciding to learn a craft or technique for yourself. That is to be cherished and protected and loved."

Tomorrow at 12pm ET, join us for July A11yTalks: Tech as Cognitive Accessibility: Designing Systems for ADHD Brains with Eleanor Beilby. We’ll explore ADHD, executive dysfunction, time blindness, and working memory as accessibility concerns. a11ytalks.com/posts/2026-jul #A11yTalks #Accessibility
Tech as Cognitive Accessibility: Designing Systems for ADHD Brains
Eleanor Beilby (She/Her)
ADHD involves executive dysfunction, time blindness, and working memory barriers that standard technology often overlooks. Cognitive accessibility, unlike sensory or motor access, is still largely treated as a productivity problem rather than an access problem. This session reframes digital tools as cognitive accessibility aids, presenting inclusive design patterns, no-code workflows, and real examples of technology that support ADHD cognition instead of overwhelming it.

Co-working space 1: has daily free breakfast, alternative milk available. Co-working space 2: no one opens the door, no coffee machine, no free breakfast. Co-working space 3: Coffee machine with no alternative milk, monthly free breakfast. The quest to find the perfect co-working space continues.

Amazing news! I'm a big fan of being able to maintain my own devices. I already find the Switch 1 heavy that I can't play for long periods of time let alone the Switch 2, so I don't think the extra 10g would be an extra issue.

Designing stuff at work and remembering a conversation at a tech event I went to. One person said that they used Gen-AI to generate placeholder images, and another told them about the wonders of Unsplash - there're many great free resources out there already that you don't have to use AI.
