Last at #AEASF (sadface) is @movie_pundit with his talk “What If People Weren’t the Product? Building a web that loves humanity.” (Yes, we gave each other high-fives about how we had talks about becoming person-oriented! 🙌)
Back in the truly olden days, we didn’t have mirrors. To see ourselves, we needed to find a still body of water. Instead, we looked at each other. @movie_pundit #AEASF
With the advent of mirrors, we suddenly became aware of how we looked to other people. The results ranged from 1st person novels to standing armies. Now the web, where “we cannot get away from ourselves” with ad personalization. We see ourselves as a product. @movie_pundit #AEASF
Next (and before #AEASF lunch LOL) is @kryshiggins about designing better onboarding. How do you balance understanding with “engagement” and features and prompts?
If we act on our fear (that our users will miss something!) then it can lead to unhelpful solutions! If you front-load instructions, they’re hard to remember, out of context, and have questionable value. @kryshiggins #AEASF
And framing is important. If you give people ALL the instructions up front, it can give the impression that a task must be super hard! Plus they’re costly to maintain. @kryshiggins #AEASF
Here for @Folletto’s #AEASF talk about hybrid meetings. Remote collaboration should not actually default to calls or meetings. Think about if they’re sync/async or in-person/virtual, but they can be combined too.
Made it to the juicy part of @prestonso’s #AEASF talk about languages. 🏃♀️☕️ More CSS properties to help meet our users where they are, no matter what language they’re using:
- dir
- writing-mode
- lang (even mixed with another languages)
- text-orientation
- text-combine-upright
- dir
- writing-mode
- lang (even mixed with another languages)
- text-orientation
- text-combine-upright
Remember to use HTML first to set the default reading direction, don’t just use CSS to do whatever you want. Set the structure first. @prestonso #AEASF
Markup that I never knew about, to help give readers of logographic languages more context about a character they might not know about: <ruby> and <rb>
Also, the CSS prop “text-emphasis” can customize text styles you want to bold, but bold wouldn’t look great. @prestonso #AEASF

Very apropo for me right now - @youngfonz is going to talk about navigating changes in your [fill in the blank] career! #AEASF
Tip #1 for navigating career changes - have patience and resilience. @youngfonz had to go outside his comfort zone seeking resources to bolster his computer science education. But it was a journey! #AEASF
Tip #2 for navigating career changes: Have a strategy. Don’t just react, have a plan. And remember to learn EQ aka “soft skills” not just hitting the books (IQ). It depends on where you’re at! @youngfonz #AEASF
First up at #AEASF is @adactio about declarative design! (Yes, I'm back to my live-tweeting thing!)
He's starting off with music - there's Mozart writing every note down, then there's Miles Davis doing improv. All sorts of ways to compose music, and both are considered genius!

@adactio Same thing in programming too - imperative programming gives the computer step by steps. Then there's declarative programming (like SQL), where you tell the computer the result you want. @adactio #AEASF
.@timberners_lee created the World Wide Web with the "principle of least power" - use the most efficient way to parse information. Both HTML and CSS are declarative, fault-tolerant languages. They ignore what they don't understand. @adactio #AEASF
