GitHub seems to have made a change where it messes with my browser history. Going back from a pull request's "Files changed" doesn't go back to the conversation, but to another pull request entirely... forgetting I checked my notifications in the meantime? Ugh :-(

I remember folks ragging on this talk when I delivered it, saying it was too easy and they knew it already. It’s helped over 10,000 people since, and is the most watched dotSwift talk from any year. If you have a talk you think would be great, no matter how “easy”, go for it! 🚀

People are excited for spooky season, but October is also Nat’l Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM). Contrary to what society says, disabled people contribute much to the economy. Disability deserves more representation in the workplace—especially in newsrooms!

Chef John really is just the kindest person. You should check this out; I'm pretty sure you'll end up with a big smile on your face.

We’re looking for an experienced iOS developer to join my team at @PSPDFKit. Nice place to work. Fully remote by design. Unusual challenges making an SDK. Willingness to use both Swift and Objective-C is necessary. pspdfkit.bamboohr.com/careers/80

Good blog post.

One of the reasons I love working in #a11y is that it's SO deeply multifaceted. #Accessibility is about: 🎨 Design 👩🏻‍💻 Engineering 💁🏽 UX 🎁 Product …and most importantly… 👯 People I may not be good at all these things, but the chance to think about them all daily is a gift!

This ought to be something to cheer, but it’s so bizarrely bad with VoiceOver. iOS components come baked with so much accessibility support out of the box – it takes *effort* to make something this opaque. Why? To save some money? The V in MVP should include “usable by everyone.”

I posted on LinkedIn this morning about still being open to a salaried role in a newsroom someplace. At the risk of being immodest, I think I’ve earned my stripes after almost a decade and think you should hire me to report on disability in tech. linkedin.com/posts/steven-a…

When something is important, it mean a whole lot. Make sure your friends know how important dey are to you, just like beautiful cookie.
