Accessibility is popular, it's rare I meet anyone who thinks it doesn't matter.

Usually it's the systemic failures that make us de-prioritize it, things like perceived tight timelines, low budgets, lack of resources.

Regardless, the future world is accessible. There's too many of us that want it

Drawing explaining the JS execution model and event loop

Drawing explaining the JS execution model and event loop

💥 did a small drawing explaining the JS execution model including the event loop. I hope it’s helpful to folks. Debugging is always easier when the underlying implementations are understood.

DHH Is Way Worse Than I Thought | jakelazaroff.com DHH's politics are not normal. Maybe they used to be, I don't know, but as of right now the dude is_way outside of what most people would consider moral or acceptable.

show this to anyone else you know who also assumed DHH was just a normal conservative dude rather than a raging white supremacist lunatic

I have been a very happy Netlify user for many years now! Ohshitgit.com has served millions of people on their infra and I’ve never had an issue.

No need for a migration, it works seamlessly. Just link your NextJS (or any other framework you have on Vercel) repo to Netlify and it works. If it doesn’t reach out to me directly and I’ll make sure the team will check it

Them: “tech needs to be apolitical. Focus on building”

Also them: “it was great meeting you Mr War Criminal I hope we can do a lot of technology together that benefits your political goals and my political wallet”

One thing I learned about web hosting when I worked in that space:

It's not very sticky. Extremely easy to switch providers on a whim. Point your repo somewhere else. It's online!

There are SO many choices when you want to deploy. preview. ship.

Thinking about this today for no reason!!

Now would be a great time for Netlify to create and/or heavily market an automated way to migrate to their platform from the fashier parts of the internet
