As fun as it can be to learn a language, just learning it with no context makes it harder to keep my interest. Add some context, however, and bam!
Human: reading new toy's instructions in a different language, visiting a foreign country and ordering food, following along in a conversation on #Duolingo, etc.
Computer: fiddling with someone's open source project that is in a language you don't know, doing a code jam for a particular framework/language, etc.
Currently studying for the #cpacc exam and I found the #legal part surprisingly interesting. This topic was also relevant in a workshop I gave, so here's a couple of law suits that are #accessibility related:
Hi fediverse. My name is Nishiki and I’m a web dev with 15+ years of experience. I’m making myself available as a mentor for one or two motivated individuals looking to land their first junior engineering position. I’m happy to be able to say over the past few years, I’ve mentored 4 wonderful people who have all managed to land their first tech jobs.
Please email me at hello@nshki.com if interested. A boost for reach is much appreciated!

Been having problems with 2 local #PHP projects on my Mac closing the connection when using PHP-FPM. Finally after almost 1 year (since Sonoma apparently) I found the solution:
The 2 projects were the only ones using PostgreSQL.
I was able to work on them with the PHP Server, so I only tried debugging the issue once in a while.
I decided (again) to prepare for the #cpacc exam by the #iaap after I had some doubt of it's usefulness.
But after doing a non-technical workshop for #accessibility newbies last week and believing that the #eaa will have some impact, I decided to go for it!
I'm using the @dequesystems prep course and read everything with 200% zoom. Unfortunately this makes paragraphs very long, so I'd like to share a #bookmarklet I quickly created to shorten them:
for (let paragraph of allParagraphElements) {
paragraph.style.width = '60ch';
}
})();
Here's a little tutorial on how to add them to you bookmarks: <https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/what-are-bookmarklets/>

Is it not possible to set up something similar to #SVG and #PNG with very little effort and really be recognized as a creative #WebDev developer with your own graphics #design?
"Contact forms are almost always worse for users than just putting an email on your website. I explore why they’re terrible, why you’ve done it anyway, and what to do about it." #webdev#ux
What's the purpose of #ssl certificates expiring again? From my limited perspective it doesn't serve much else than adding unnecessary work for sysadmins, so I'd love to know if there's a legit reason for it. #webdev#infosec
This article uses #React as it's main example, but it applies to #Laravel, #Tailwind, even #Drupal just a much. I say that as a recovering Drupal dev who used to use the standardization argument.
Greedy management is the reason we can't have nice things.
When building websites, I think it's always best to redirect POST requests to GET after you've processed them. Otherwise users get horrible 'do you want to resubmit the form?' popups if they refresh or hit the back button. #webdev
Have any of you Rust developers ever used Skytable and been satisfied so far? Is it also 100% open source or do I have to pay attention to something like SurrealDB and can GraphQL or something similar also be used on it?
Which of these #Rust databases is probably more practical and faster for a fast #WebDev project in pure #RustLang, which #NoSQL database would you prefer?
(The question about #DB is not meant seriously, because depending on the task and the desired solution, the results will be different.)
