Most chatbots exclude users with disabilities. That’s a design failure, not a user issue. You must add keyboard navigation, screen reader labels, and clear text instructions. Skip this, and you’re locking out millions. Do you test your chatbot with real users—who use assistive tech?

As a black woman in tech #addtoblacksky also I don’t know what all the drama is surrounding afrotech. It was a great conference with plenty of info and networking and I’m sure hookups, that always happens though at every conference. Get off of black women so hard because this is normal behavior….

New to Bluesky? If you want to understand the far right, violent extremists, White Supremacists, and Christian nationalists, these are the journalists, researchers, academics, and other experts that monitor, research, and provide analysis on all the flavors of the far right and extremist movements.

AWS deployment fighting me so I switched to Netlify serverless functions and learned a whole new thing. My favorite part of developing is failing at the original plan and stumbling into something better 😭

I’m a marine biologist who studies sharks and how to protect them. That’s me on the right from a few weeks ago. I’m always happy to answer any questions anyone has about sharks, ocean science and conservation, and more!

Can’t wait for chat gpt-7 where I can put in videos of some of these meetings and get a quick translation. I have no idea why older engineers sometimes talk around the issue instead of plainly stating what they mean.

One of the things that was exciting about twitter/fb early on and has been exciting about Bluesky and Mastodon now is how natural/normal it feels to strike up (friendly) conversation with people you don't know. At some point, that began to feel out of place.

I wonder if there is a perfect way to nap. I usually work 2hrs and get a 20 minute cat nap in afterwards. But does the sudden jolt of the alarm hurt me in any way? Hmmm 🧐 maybe I should work 3 and then nap for an hour.

I remember it was about a year, but the world was a simpler place back then. That said, I still have imposter syndrome sometimes, two decades into my dev career, after being a CTO, trainer and more. FYI, have advice that might be helpful for new devs on my blog: letterstoanewdeveloper.com

Up at 5am improving my coding/ debugging skills. How long did it take ya’ll to close the books after landing your first developer role? I guess I have 6 months - a year. What’s your best advice on becoming a better engineer and losing imposter syndrome?
