Would love to speak to anyone impacted by the layoffs at BrooklynVegan, Alt Press and Revolver. Me and @altversion.substack.com are working on something we really hope will help music journalism: stereotype.co

So far today I've made my last student loan payment (finally debt-free from that international politics degree I finished 15 years ago and get so much use out of 😑), *and* got tickets to see Phoebe Bridgers in November. Pretty solid Wednesday so far.

Music fans! @hannahc.bsky.social and I are working on a very cool music community side project: stereotype.co If you’re involve in music…an artist/band, a label, a venue/run events it’d be great to chat and when the time is right, have people on our list to test Let us know if that’s you! #music

Stereotype — coming soon
A music discovery community, in the making.

Solid foundations or shaky ground? @hannahc.bsky.social has written an article on the infrastructure side of design system code! Check it out on the @zeroheight.com blog:

Solid foundations or shaky ground? The essential role of infrastructure in design system code - zeroheight
Hannah Clarke explains why infrastructure matters in design system code – and how the right foundations make adoption, scaling, and delivery easier.

Only one month until @ffconf.org! I get to talk about our journey with web components, while sharing the stage with some awesome speakers 😁 See you there? ffconf.org/tickets/

When you've been in a year-long battle to convince teams that your coded DS component packages will help them, and an engineer tags you out of the blue suggesting your component is a far better alternative to implementing something new because you've already done the work for them 🥹

I think I'd assumed after moving from full stack to frontend and then specialising further as a UI Engineer, that I'd spend pretty much all my time writing frontend code... and yet here I am again lost in a sea of yaml trying to get pipelines working.

Published another of our #FFConf speaker interviews today. This time, pleased to introduce Hannah Clarke (if you're on bluesky, I've yet to find you!) on "An Uncomfortable Place" about building framework-agnostic components. Get your ticket and see it IRL, interview here: ffconf.org/articles/202...

While the day job is more design-side, it’s been pretty awesome working on a side project with @hannahc.bsky.social, learning a load of nextjs, api architecture, Supabase and all kinds of stuff

This week I have learnt that a lot of unnecessary stress and confusion can be avoided by clarifying what you mean by terminology you assume everyone uses in the same way. In this case - "components". We meant buttons, links and other atomic stuff. They meant entire dashboards.

Research question for you - if someone shares a playlist (or a track, album, anything) that you like the look of from Spotify, but you're an Apple Music user, what do you do? (Swap either streaming platform for one you don't use and one you do) #music #musicsky

I've been using Stencil to build our Design System web components and it's really great, but the amount of time I've spent figuring out things that are a little too niche for the documentation is insane. Time I could be using to write up the things I've been figuring out without documentation... 🔄🙃

Hannah Clarke @hannahc.bsky.social · 14/11/2024
After spending a lot of time getting our Design System infrastructure ready to go using Stencil for web-components, writing custom processing scripts to make generated React components *perfect* for React product devs, being told we should just be building in React is so incredibly demoralising.

Feel like I should get time-off-in-lieu for the nights where I try to debug an unresolved issue in my sleep. Dreaming about an inconsistent build script is in no way restful 😴

Hey #frontend developers! Someone has put forward the argument that "the future of React is React Native" as a way of fighting a Design System built with web-components (outputting wrapped components for React). Has anyone else come across this? I've not heard anything that suggests it's likely.

I wrote a thing about codemods. I don't really know where to share it, so I'll just leave it over here in case anyone needs it. medium.com/@_hannahc_/c... #frontend #javascript #react #typescript #webdevelopment #designsystems

Step away from the find and replace button! A worked example for writing a codemod to replace an old component with a new version.

How long does it take to shake the cringe feeling from giving a completely wrong answer to an interview question and making yourself look like a total moron...? 😖

I've mostly been pragmatic about losing my job, but now I'm officially on my last day and the saddest thing is seeing so many great, talented people in the same boat. This industry can be so ruthless.

Without fail, every time I try to test something I'm building with a screen-reader, everything inevitably crashes and it berates me with "Chrome is not responding" over and over. Sure, cool, it's not like I have to submit this assignment in 2 days or anything 😒

In an excellent neurodiversity webinar at work, but suffering from imposter syndrome about my own ADHD experience is a new low.

Finally won the waiting list game and got an ADHD diagnosis last week. Great to know I'm not useless and lazy, but all I actually won was a place on another waiting list. Turns out knowing what you already suspected doesn't make anything better.

All these new "text based" platforms I'm impulsively jumping on board with without first considering I don't actually have a lot to say.

I've been replaying The Last of Us since I finished the series and after putting off the last little bit for so long I've finally completed it again and I am a mess 😭

Being forced to go back into the office from next week. Trying to weigh up what's more damaging to my mental health - the anxiety from having to go back in, or the anxiety from knowing I might lose my job if I don't. 😮‍💨

Dropped my car for an MOT and service. Turns out the garage doesn't do services and I also apparently left my house keys in the car (I hope) which I didn't realise until I started walking home. Looks like I'm gunna be late for work 🤦🏼‍♀️

For three glorious days, the family who live two doors down and have all of their conversations in the garden at a totally unnecessary volume were away. It was blissfully quiet. They came back and once again I feel like I'm involved in every discussion. The kids can only have fruit today, FYI.
