    If someone says front-end development is easy then I will 100% assume that they don't know/do front-end development well.

    It’s been almost 5 years since I gave my first talk (at @CSSConf 💜) in 2014. 40 conferences over 5 years. I’m eternally grateful for each and every one of them. الحمد لله 🙏🏻😊 (and yes I do collect the badges; and they’ve gotten quite heavy ☺️)

    “a11y” is short for “accessibility”. That is all. This is my tweet. #a11y 👇🏻 Image via @mds
    A graphic explaining how the shorthand “a11y” is derived from “accessibility” by counting the 11 letters between a and y.

    CSS is beautiful. CSS is powerful. Just the way it is. Put the time and effort in and you may "get" CSS _at least enough_ to not hate on it. Sincerely, A front-of-the-front-end developer.

    If you’re a designer who cares equally deeply about beautiful colors and accessibility, you may find this tool (w/ 955 accessible color combinations!) indispensable: cloudflare.design/color/ via @mrmrs_ #a11y #UI

    Hey @Twitter @TwitterDev please add basic markdown support to tweets? _word_ *word* `code` ..would make for a great start and can save us a few characters in a tweet. Plus tweets would look nicer formatted like that. Thanks!

    I literally *never* use carousels on Web sites I visit. Never. Ever. And when I’m working on a project that requires building one, I feel sorry for the amount of time I need to dedicate for it.

    I *love* working on the #UI side of the Web. I love that it’s the perfect sweet spot between design and engineering. I love that this sweet spot keeps both parts of my brain stimulated and inspired. I love that it’s what connects my work to the real ppl who will use it. I 💜 UI.
