  • A "hover color contrast bookmarklet". #a11y #WordPress It "attaches a mouseover event to each focusable object on the page, then triggers a simulated event. During the simulated hover event, the #bookmarklet checks the calculated foreground and background colors for the element and marks failing elements." https://www.joedolson.com/2024/01/hover-color-contrast-bookmarklet/

  • #WordPress needs more "dev-rel" (#developer relations). Agree w/ @joost here. https://joost.blog/wordpress-needs-more-dev-rel/ "We are, however, not as good at keeping up with the rest of the open-source world… and I think this is where we are missing many opportunities."

  • In reply to @davidbisset. To be clear, I said "foundation". So much growth over that newbie 20 years ago (when i started in ASP which is also gone) and it's been fun and challenging keeping up with the innovation on the web. But 20 years ago if you told me I would still be coding…

  • Thought by 2023 I'd be forced away from foundations of HTML #PHP #JavaScript #CSS (and #WordPress). A partial list of "hot and need to learn to survive" things over the past 20 years that didn't derail me: – Flash/ActionScript– ColdFusion– Ruby on Rails– (Countless JS "frameworks" that mostly don't exist today)– Go– JAMSTACK– React– AMP–…

  • #WordPress 6.4.1 Rapid Maintenance Release: Technical Details and Timeline https://make.wordpress.org/core/2023/11/10/wordpress-6-4-1-rapid-maintenance-release-technical-details-and-timeline/ (Kudos for the info and transparency)

  • Wow the amount of over reaction and just plain “drama for views” from a few over the #WordPress 6.4.1 bug release is weird. If you are concerned about “the company’s stock price” over this you might not understand enough how it all works.
