Ha, just noticed "y'all" got auto-corrected.
Anyway, poutine was solid and all is well.ð

I'm having poutine for dinner anyway, you'll.

Ah! I just remembered I have a pint of Half Baked in the freezer.
And poutine for dinner, I suppose. Let's eat some feelings!

And that difference was somehow enough to let a freaking Todo app bring me to my knees today. [I mean, I did it all fine, but I looked and felt like a blubbering and incompetent fool the whole time, so... hire me?]

Like, I can *produce* code. I don't *perform* coding. There's a difference.

I want my OS and browser chrome dark and my websites light. There isn't a setting for that :/

I feel this. It has taken me way too long, ironically, to identify that I am not a failed adult, I'm neurodivergent. Still getting used to my new label.

I'm sure the cat has now added your book to its grievances against birds.

Ooh, nice. I also don't want lyrics when I'm coding, just the energyyyy.
I have also spent a whole afternoon coding to rain sounds and was very confused to go outside and find a beautiful day! ð

Ah, yeah, that's better! I had never seen the `/` in `content` before -- cool! #TIL

Looks fun. Not sure if it will translate, though?
Also kinda sucks for screen-reader users: NVDA gives me "A vintage car We failed to load the image of A vintage car Disappointed face." The redundancy might feel worse with longer alt text, and the 'failed to load' part would be buried.

I mean, we have entire job sectors (quality assurance, editors, etc.) of folks who literally earn a living telling people where things didn't come out according to a specified goal. No one turns on them and says, "Then YOU do it!" We say,"Good catch, eagle eye!" and crack on at doing better.

All that effort to create and propagate a false narrative, and now AI can do it in seconds. Amazing.

Sure, but that's exactly the kind of context a human who had watched the event ~could~ provide if they were to write alt text themselves.
From my admittedly limited trials, I find that, as with image generation, image description by AI is generally better with inanimate things than with humans.

It read the text and the scene well, yes, but not the action: she's not in mid-air after just launching off her pole, she's landing. If this happened to be the moment something significant happened (say she broke her wrist or something), this description would be completely missing the point.

Argh. I'm trying to get hired, and now I know so many more awesome people are in the same boat.

I like this. I've been thinking lightly about how we need other, orthogonal systems for organizing design systems, for folks who come at them from a different perspective [e.g. tagging, decision trees, data types, etc.]. This crowd-sourced idea is interesting.

Yeah, but it's not grammatical

I had everything going for me on this one and it didn't work out. I don't know how to do better next time!?
