The Eight-Month Omelette: adding a feature to one million conformance tests
The web-platform-tests project (WPT) houses over a million tests written to ensure our browsers provide a consistent experience of the web.

Sessions: The vim Feature You Probably Aren’t Using
I may as well come out and say it. In 2010, I leapt directly from Dreamweaver to vim as my primary editor. (I’ve been told that I may be the only person ever to have made this jump, but have no concrete evidence to substantiate this claim.) I had grown tired of Dreamweaver’s engorged appetite […]

Making Zoom Calls More Accessible
Our co-worker thought we were heartless monsters. This is a slight exaggeration, but an important lesson about what gets lost in translation when apps aren’t entirely accessible. During an experimental Zoom call, we learned that screen readers and the reactions feature aren’t quite compatible. That means that every time during a call when someone mentioned […]
