Oldie but goodie: Don't listen to users (watch them!). I can’t count the number of times I had to explain this to well-meaning engineers, who thought the way to good UX was asking users what they prefer. www.nngroup.com/articles/fir...

First Rule of Usability? Don't Listen to Users

For good UX, watch what users do, not what they say. Self-reported claims and speculations about future behavior are unreliable. Users do not know what they want.

My PR reviewer didn't approve my PR.

There's a thing happening when ok-ish quality is now becoming acceptable when building software and it breaks my heart. Our quality bar used to be so much higher. AI should help us build better, not worse. /Rant

Remember how I went to see My Chemical Romance a few weeks ago? Turns out they share encrypted messages with their fans. I made a video on how to decipher those 🔓 (Spanish only for now) youtu.be/INf6lT-E9Mw

As someone who reads and speaks English well but has most of her tech devices set up in Spanish... Lately, the web has been extremely annoying. Everything gets translated to Spanish by default, I'm constantly clicking "See English version" EVERYWHERE. Just me? 🥲

It seems I'm not following enough latines here since no one on my feed is talking about The Eternaut. You go watch The Eternaut. I'll go and find my Latino folk in the 🦋

As someone who takes notes on two languages (my mind works in Spanglish, of course), it seems to me that Google Docs has greatly improved on how it handles that lately. It used to be an uncomfortable experience of getting all your screen screaming red of non real grammatical errors.

Does it bug you that Flexbox always ends up with a very few items in the last row, stretched out extra wide? What if the layout was balanced kinda like `text-wrap`, using: item-pack: balance; Learn more about this idea, and much more: webkit.org/blog/16587/i...

I screenshot of the article, starting at "Currently, Flexbox places items on each line without any regard to what’s happening on the other lines."

I'm spending today auditing our product for our annual VPAT. It's so rewarding to turn a "Does not support" to "Supports" 😊 Remember, accessibility is a journey ✨️

I'm spending a few days in Boston 🍁🍂 Some Christmas decorations are colliding with Halloween decorations. This eclectic city is expressing the feelings for those who need this year to be done already and those who cannot yet accept the events of the first week of November.

What have I been up to these last couple of months? I've been doing a lot of RBAC related projects, learning archery and... trying to get my cat to lose some weight. Not all of those initiatives have been successful yet.
