My contract is ending at the end of February and so I’d like to find a new role ASAP.

I am a senior-level design systems developer / design technologist / front-of-the-frontend developer that specializes in web accessibility.

I work remotely from my home in Winnipeg, Canada. 🇨🇦

Shares appreciated!

I'm trying to add an human touch to the FilePond landing page, I think it creates a nice contrast with AI powered tools and code.

A collection of very useful tools to generate SVG effects.

I'm currently using it to create these hand-drawn-like underlines.

Seeing posts of popular figures in web dev rave about the greatness of LLMs makes me so sad for the state of it all.

The perks of being a solo dev 👉 spend 2 days working on a rectangular progress indicator.

Why 2 days? Because spinning a rectangle is a bit tricky.

With a circle you can just spin the entire thing. With a rectangle not so much. So now I'm spinning a rectangle behind an SVG mask.

Does anybody know if V8 (or other JS JITs) use hidden classes for common tuple types? So let's say I use a lot of [number, string, boolean], will these get optimized to a tight 16-byte struct or will these remain the slow, unoptimized array type?

Had to fall back to using color-mix instead of relative colors but now filepond v5 works on Safari 16.6 and up.
