“Human involvement creates humane outcomes.” @amyhupe.bsky.social said this at @frontendnorth.bsky.social conference in Sheffield this week, and it’s really stuck with me. Succinct, brilliant and such a valuable way of framing the work.

Soooo I used to make websites for a living and I recently attended a tech conference about web dev (very good people over at @frontendnorth.bsky.social) and it's inspired me to try to make something after all these years of being out of the industry.

Design Systems. Are they a system of harm? @amyhupe.bsky.social navigates through the issues that affect and excluding a wide range of people through bias. This was an eye opener. Also we should improve on inclusivity in design systems! #FrontEndNorth

So tired of these talks about overhyped new technologies that people are trying to shoehorn into everything. I mean, IMG tags? Why would you ever need that? Can't wait for the hype bubble to burst. (The brill @whitep4nth3r.com at #FrontEndNorth)
