I am very pleased to have my copy of Digital Accessibility Ethics delivered this weekend after much anticipation. Super excited to dive in over the next couple of weeks. I've been steadily growing my shelf with some of the latest publications on #digitalaccessibility and #inclusivedesign 📚

Array of books stacked on each other including Inclusive Design for Accessibility, Design for All Learners, and on top: Digital Accessibility Ethics

Absolutely great time last week at the Pinellas Tech Network & Tampa Devs event. We covered architecture, performance, product, accessibility, AI, and how to stay ahead in our very quickly evolving industry. Trying to get to more grassroots events in 2026 and see actual humans. #tampa #developer

Seeing some buzz around the Block layoffs. Executives may perceive layoffs as the result of “AI increasing productivity” or “doing more with less". AI wasn't the reason, bad company practices were. This AI demonization is an easy scapegoat but shouldn't cover the real issue of mismanagement.

Jack Dorsey tweeting the reasons for laying off a tremendous percentage of his staff, justifying it with covid hiring. Full post: "yes we over-hired during covid because i incorrectly built 2 separate company structures (square & cash app) rather than 1, which we corrected mid 2024. but this misses all the complexity we took on through lending, banking, and BNPL. and that we're now targeting $2M+ gross profit per person, 4x our pre-covid efficiency, which stayed flat at ~$500k from 2019 until 2024. we have and do run an efficient company... better than most."

Community is everything and everything we do as engineers and gets used by the greater community should be celebrated. Happy to receive a new hoodie from Heather Davis and her team at @mongodb.bsky.social Just in time for the Florida winter 🌴☀️🕶️

Super happy to have been invited to speak 🗣️ at A11ySD about AI and Accessibility. We have a long way to go before the code LLMs are generating is truly accessible so we have to do our best to validate and check any code we’re pushing to PROD.

For the ‘cheap’ price of $20,000 you can buy a robot that listens to your conversations and fold your laundry. I do wonder how this market will continue to expand and if there will be adjacent markets that pop up for customizations, accessories, and software. What a time to be alive.

In Chi-Town for a team meet. The city is significantly prettier than expected and decided to hit a 5k run this morning to see the Navy Pier. Remote work is great but love getting in person for meets every now and then.

I never used Twitter. Never gotten into threads. Had an empty X account. But we will proceed here. * Anyways here is a picture of my daily pride (or rage)

Testing accessibility across full user flows—like sign-up or checkout—used to mean duplicates, gaps, and a lot of manual work. User Flow Analysis in axe DevTools watches for changes, auto-scans each state, and shows only unique issues. Check out a video I made about it: lnkd.in/e6gCgyTk

Video description: A spinning lump of clay Reminds me: you can’t shape things by force, only by feel. Stay present, adaptable, and open to change. Rigidity can break us. We’re all a work in progress. Keep centering, keep learning. #change #adapt #progressoverperfection

Did you know you can include Alternative text information when posting images on BlueSky and LinkedIn? It may take you an extra 15 seconds to include but its a beautiful way to proactively engage in accessible best practices.
