It's hard to believe that the @wearewebclerks conference was the first one ever by the organisers. It was slick, welcoming, friendly, and interesting. Thanks for asking me to speak! ♥️ #webclerks

Lost my voice. Amazing.

Have fully broken myself after these last few weeks. Well, last few months. Currently lying on the sofa emitting fluids and sounds from my face pipes. I think both my mind and body need a hard reboot.

A day of accessibility talks! For free! Today! Online! Exclamation marks!

Two birds, one motherfucking big stone.

The assertion that technology companies can’t possibly be shaped or restrained with the public’s interest in mind is to argue that they are fundamentally different from any other industry. They’re not.

1. Plan your scripts out on paper before your open a text editor.
2. Stop obsessing over tools.
3. Focus on solving problems.
4. Maintain a library of snippets that you can reuse.

So you say to yourself, I have a plan. Instead of me letting the user click on a link that then goes to the browser and the browser giving me back control when the new page loads, what about implementing that myself?

Instead of letting the browser handle navigation, I will handle navigation, so as to avoid the loss of control. What I'll do is, I'll XHR the page off the server, and then I'll innerHTML it into the current page. You're getting around the loss of control by handling loading yourself. Don't trust the browser to do it, do it yourself. Implement it internally.

An excellent post from Stuart Langridge. It excellently sums up the culture of Not Invented Here that permeates the industry of late.
