Most chatbots exclude users with disabilities. That’s a design failure, not a user issue. You must add keyboard navigation, screen reader labels, and clear text instructions. Skip this, and you’re locking out millions. Do you test your chatbot with real users—who use assistive tech?

bought beyoncé tickets and immediately went on ebay to sell everything I own to recover financially.

Does anybody else do that 30 second cold spray at the end of shower? Is this helpful or torture lol

As a black woman in tech #addtoblacksky also I don’t know what all the drama is surrounding afrotech. It was a great conference with plenty of info and networking and I’m sure hookups, that always happens though at every conference. Get off of black women so hard because this is normal behavior….

New to Bluesky? If you want to understand the far right, violent extremists, White Supremacists, and Christian nationalists, these are the journalists, researchers, academics, and other experts that monitor, research, and provide analysis on all the flavors of the far right and extremist movements.

AWS deployment fighting me so I switched to Netlify serverless functions and learned a whole new thing. My favorite part of developing is failing at the original plan and stumbling into something better 😭

I made a Black women in tech starter pack because I couldn’t find one and it annoyed me. go.bsky.app/5upv7SQ

Peak fall activities: procrastinating on packing while watching Gilmore Girls and dreaming about AfroTech tomorrow ☕️🍂

At last, there's a searchable directory of Bluesky starter packs, courtesy of @mubashariqbal.com! Just one more way third-party developers are helping to make this place better. Search starter packs by keyword, and sort by "Uses" to see which ones people are finding the most helpful

I said “ let my fix one more little thing” from 8am until 8:30pm, but I finally deployed! Tired, but finally deployed 🥹

My darling peace Lilly “ Lilly” used to be so full and beautiful but she was our first plant and she has definitely gone through it 😓 We cut off her dry and yellow leaves. Any advice on promoting growth? Do you think she gonna make it?!?!Luckily she has really strong roots!

I love flying into a new city! What’s good in Houston? Recommendations please!

Bloomposting >= shitposting 🥰

I’m a marine biologist who studies sharks and how to protect them. That’s me on the right from a few weeks ago. I’m always happy to answer any questions anyone has about sharks, ocean science and conservation, and more!

Can’t wait for chat gpt-7 where I can put in videos of some of these meetings and get a quick translation. I have no idea why older engineers sometimes talk around the issue instead of plainly stating what they mean.

we're gonna put our database in rice and then come back in a few min

👋🏿 We're excited to be on Bluesky! There doesn't seem to be a reading community here yet, so let's start one. If you're a reader, introduce yourself!

One of the things that was exciting about twitter/fb early on and has been exciting about Bluesky and Mastodon now is how natural/normal it feels to strike up (friendly) conversation with people you don't know. At some point, that began to feel out of place.

W + repost + forehead kiss + you’re doing amazing

The nazi account was already flagged for hate. Great job, BlueSky team! 🙏🎉

Posting about Seinfield is plenty educational so ✅ and ✅

How many times does Elaine shove Jerry 🤔🧐

I wonder if there is a perfect way to nap. I usually work 2hrs and get a 20 minute cat nap in afterwards. But does the sudden jolt of the alarm hurt me in any way? Hmmm 🧐 maybe I should work 3 and then nap for an hour.

The inability to spell the word “ characters” is making my coding journey like 25% more difficult.

Because @aliafonzy.bsky.social is so active every time I hop on here I see that 🇭🇹 and think about ya’ll Haitian patties. And how I can’t find any in Chicago 😩 so thank you for that.

Good morning to the whole skyline! @shidonichan.com ok girl! Ignore my ashy arm but first work out of the day. I’m planning on taking a walk later with a friend and I have swimming later as well! Show me what you got! Show out to bsky for a new workout partner.

Let the people know!

Taps mic, ahem: 3, 6, 9 Damn she fine. Hoping she can sock it to me one mo’ time. Get low, get low, get low, get low. TO THE WINDOWWWW TO THE WALLLL Til the sweat drop down my balls. Til all these b*tches crawl Til all skeet skeet muhfucka Til all skeet skeet got dam /fin

How many hours have you spent on bsky today? Don’t be ashamed

Do you think the person who coined the term “lives rent free in my head” gets messed up thinking about how that phrase now lives rent free in our heads

I made a list of things to do. Congratulations me 😅 now doing the things on that list 😓

Anyone into dream interpretation? I swear I have the Craziest dreams.

I should take pictures of these “skies” what are we calling them? And post them around my house. You guys are really helping me push pass the lie this morning!

Keep repeating this! Everyone feels inadequate at time. Just keep swimming, Dory 😅

I remember it was about a year, but the world was a simpler place back then. That said, I still have imposter syndrome sometimes, two decades into my dev career, after being a CTO, trainer and more. FYI, have advice that might be helpful for new devs on my blog: https://letterstoanewdeveloper.com/

Up at 5am improving my coding/ debugging skills. How long did it take ya’ll to close the books after landing your first developer role? I guess I have 6 months - a year. What’s your best advice on becoming a better engineer and losing imposter syndrome?

Lol this is kind of like the first day of high school where you’re all excited and optimistic and seeing which of your friends are here and who is in your same class

Petition for @aliafonzy.bsky.social to be a @bsky.app ambassador !!

LMAO

Idea 💡 Support group for partners/ spouses of Developer Advocates. Because it’s a conference every other week😩 🎤 “what about how I feel” 🎶🎵 🤣🤣🤣

👀 working on something cool. Social audio rooms for BlueSky users. I should have a working alpha available for testing later this weekend.

We’re hiring Go and Typescript devs btw. Things are crazy over here, apply if you want to: - write a lot of code - ship fast - juggle protocol and product - be an agentic player on a small tight-knit team - create this thing with us

What books are ya’ll reading or what podcasts are you recommending Subject can be tech or anything really.

This the one y’all. I like it here ☺️

History being made. The first AT Protocol Bluesky social audio space! Congratulations tp @geeken.tv the sound quality was great.

Hey everyone, @jay.bsky.team is the CEO of BlueSky and IS KILLING IT! Please follow & support and also, get the word out about the job positions. I’m looking at y’all Black Tech Twitter especially!!! I wanna see us help mold BlueSky into something great! Link to jobs: https://blueskyweb.xyz/join
