Google is not your friend.

And if you only optimise your sites for Chrome, and don’t test in other browsers, you are not just a lazy developer, but also complicit in exposing people to tracking.

Update: Two days since I posted this tweet and I’ve learned developers are way more defensive about being called lazy than they are about being complicit in tracking 😬

Just misread a thing about ssh tips as “shh tips” and yeah I think some people could do with those tips too.

(East) Londoners! I’m on a panel about ethics in design on Monday night. Come say hello if you’re going to be there. Tickets are free, but it looks like you’ll want to be there nice and early to get a seat!

Starting 2019 with the flu has been less than ideal. I’m terrible at resting so keep making myself worse. Promise I will get back to commitments/updates for Better as soon as I can.

This article is really informative and helpful. (My feminism tries to be intersectional, trans-inclusive, and perpetually attempting to be less ignorant.)

Just saw yet another insightful and popular tweet by a woman where the replies are filled with men trying to improve upon what she is saying or make room for themselves.

Stop it. Just stop it. If you agree with a person’s perspective, retweet it! It doesn’t have to be about you.

I’m not saying don’t reply. But don’t bother if:

• you’re just repeating their point back at them
• your reply can be summed up as “yes I think so too” (this sounds as pompous on the internet as it does in person)

I’m so tired of participating in the tech industry being an endurance test in fragile masculinity.
