Announcing my new book about A11Y! ♿
When I first started as a web developer I didn't know anything about best practices for UX
Only after guidance from many wonderful people have I improved; I want to share that ☺️
A11Y is a basic right and improves products for us all 🚀

Dithering is an important concept to many program's aesthetics...
But how does it work under-the-hood??
We're fortunate enough that Damar is willing to join us for tomorrow's book club to answer this question!

Getting apps to be local-first can be a huge challenge. Luckily for us, TanStack has a new library to help solve that problem: TanStack DB!
Join our book club tonight at 4:30PM PST to talk about an interactive article on TanStack DB to learn how it can help your applications.

If you're in the web space, you ARE using Josh's tools. He's one of a select few engineers who's knowledge seems to truly know no bounds.
He also has a deep sense of empathy and strength in his communications in a way that can push challenging nuances into clarity and actionability.
Hire him.

I am looking for a full-time job.
Being independent in open source for 3.5+ years has been wonderful. I've gotten done most of the high-level goals I wanted to, and miss having people & structure around me.
If you know of a role for a staff-level TypeScript+web developer, let me know! 🙂

This is one reason why @tanstack.com Query took off as it did;
It enabled developers to seamlessly check off error handling, network caching, and more while building out data fetching.
Invisible wins from work that needed to be done anyway is a huge W for any tool

Most companies have similar business needs for their software, but not all needs are met equally
IE: Error handling. Critical for biz needs. Yet so many companies I've seen absolutely neglect it. Why? Not enough engineers focusing on that discipline
Get good at that stuff and you'll be unstoppable

Whenever I work with @angular.dev I'm reminded just how nice it is to do major version upgrades without headaches.
Their codemods are just so incredibly powerful, and it's a huge testament to their thoughtfulness in approach

I've been using @tanstack.com Start for a new project and it's super good. The server functions completely replace the need for TRPC/GraphQL/REST, the middleware is composable and fully typed, and having TSRouter's nice typing and stateful search params is icing on the cake. A+!

Evidently some of their recent workshops were pretty stacked with CTOs and other deeply technical folks. Seems like it could be some good insights shared.
