Not one mention of sustainability or overfishing in this BBC story about catfish replacing cod. *Why* are cod and haddock too expensive? The UK's national broadcaster doesn't deem that to be of public interest.

I ❤️ this from @shaunbent - It's not a new problem, but so many AI-lead design products are just making this situation worse (if used irresponsibly… which they no doubt are) #WebDesign: www.shaunbent.co.uk/blog/design-...

This Thursday 30th April at Sheffield Hallam University: Our #AI / #Workflows and #Infrastructure / #Performance talks - free tickets still available: www.meetup.com/front-end-sh... #FrontEndSheff

🎶 If we took a holiday \ Took some time to celebrate \ Just one day out of life \ It would be, it would be so nice 🏖️ In short: Azeez will take you through his #Typescript -built #AI agent that plans a travel itinerary & help us understand how agents actually work. 🎟️ www.meetup.com/front-end-sh...

iPhone 27? £40 pm mobile bill? Still struggle to lookup cinema times, despite being in the city? Martin from the #SYMCA / #SYDIT may have answers, thanks to bin lorries 🚛 & the Mobile Coverage Map. Is #webperf important in an age of 5G? 🎟️ www.meetup.com/front-end-sh... cc. @techsy.bsky.social

The fella on the left used to run MI6. He will have personally been involved in keeping us safe from Iranian-funded attacks on UK soil. Watch him die inside as Kay Burnley delivers her thoughts on Iran. #theSadnessInHisEyes #BBCLauraK

As a UK taxpayer and license fee funder, it's great to see #BBCBreakfast head to Aintree for their yearly mega-promo for the gambling companies which do so much social & economic damage to our communities through their predatory practices. #GrandNational

right now the astronauts are calling houston because the computer on the spaceship is running two instances of microsoft outlook and they can't figure out why. nasa is about to remote into the computer

Kemi Badenoch was asked on #BBCBreakfast how she'd deal with insults from Trump if she was PM. She said handle it how Margaret Thatcher did. Ah yes, we all remember that super-frosty US/UK relationship at the time. Blue team need a bit more imagination, I feel. #ukpol

I can't believe the "New Yorker" REJECTED this cartoon!

Been thinking about how much JavaScript we ship for basic UI patterns. Wrote it up. Anchor positioning, Popover API, Scroll-Driven Animations and more — what they replace and what's still missing 👉 blog.gitbutler.com/the-great-cs...

What a timely contribution: Preventing #Claude from peeking at your `.env` file. For now, anyway: jadjoubran.io/blog/prevent...

April 30th we welcome: 📍 Martin Owens from the South Yorkshire Digital Infrastructure Team introduces the #SYMCA mobile coverage map 🤖 Azeez Roheem builds a #Typescript #AI agent from scratch that plans your trips Our next #webdev #webdesign #Sheffield #meetup: www.meetup.com/front-end-sh...

A slightly avant-garde #FrontEndSheff last night, but one of our attendees said it best: > "I feel excited about being a dev again now thank uuu" Alfie & Neil put on a great show for us: highlighting the range of tools + skills we have as frontend devs to fix… well, loads of stuff. Thanks lads!

I love @alifeee.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy 's #Sheffield events bot (@[email protected] on Mastodon) - it's genuinely how I find stuff to do with the kids in town. Leveraging #ActivityBot and some selector-heavy scraping. #FrontEndSheff

It's a shame that despite a 'fresh slate', #SYMCA are doubling down on this approach: www.southyorkshire-ca.gov.uk/social-media...

Web developers know before booking flights to use their laptop, so they can reset/inspect local storage & cookies in order to get the cheapest flights upon return visits to a search… right?

Thu (26th Mar): Spaces available for 'Microhacking the modern web' w\ regular attendees Alfie & Neil. They're tackling #Sheffield events, post- #IoT hardware, buses & who knows what else? It's DIY & hobbyist-driven as we take a break from the corp. AI-rollercoaster! www.meetup.com/front-end-sh...

Found this absolute corker on Facebook Marketplace. 2ltr diesel. Built in ice-cream dispenser. Apparently only 10 available in the UK, presumably most of which are owned by child-abduction enthusiasts. £4k 🍦

Doing a #webdesign - checking color contrasts: it looks okay but doesn't pass #a11y WCAG AA… fair enough. Try again. This is design. New message on #MicroSlop Teams - purple for links and purple background for messages. Any link is invisible. An app used by literally millions of people. c'mon guys.

There are some friends of #FrontEndSheff / @frontendnorth.bsky.social involved with this. They say this is the final one, but we hope not. Are you going? We are! Tickets still available.

"Yes, hello is that the car dealership? I like high-end German vehicles but I also really appreciate the aesthetics of the music video for "Take On Me" by the Norwegian synth-pop sensation 'a-ha'. Is there anything you could recommend?" <pic related>

Digging the look of the new buses for #Sheffield / #SouthYorkshire - “People’s Network” is a bit 'Continuity Corbyn' & yes it's 🇳🇱 Dutch AF (we've done this before, *cough* Tramlines branding) - nowt wrong with that. #YorkshireYorkshireYorkshire 🚌 #SYMCA (via www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...)

"Open the Strait of Hormuz. You may not receive the help of any other sovereign nation. Fastest wins."

🧑‍💻 March 26th: @alifeee.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy & Neil - Microhacking the modern web 🗺️ April 30th: @techsy.bsky.social - Mobile Coverage Map & Azeez Roheem - Building an #AI Agent from Scratch That Plans Trips 🕶️ May 28th: David Warrington - (TBA, #Shopify whiz!) & Thomas Baker - Intro to #Sass

A div is not a button. Not even when you are building Doom in CSS. This one is for you @matuzo.at

Piers Morgan decides it's time to be authoritative on defence & claims to have family in the forces. Makes his history - losing his job after distributing terrorist propaganda - even more surprising. Maybe he hates his family? (source: news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_poli...) #BBCLauraK

In fairness to the Swiss, they probably just don't want these chucklefucks smashing together big beautiful birds full of gasoline all over their beautiful mountains and towns. Especially now that the USAF has adopted a 'Wacky Races' approach to flight plans: www.bluewin.ch/en/news/swit...

Some rare Good News™ - not a step forward, rather a step back from the brink. Good for 🇪🇺, good for families, a step away from 🇺🇸 dominance and god bless the 🏴‍☠️ - #EUChatControl #ThinkOfTheChildren www.patrick-breyer.de/en/historic-...

I don't know what Sophy Ridge, War Daddy & the Other One think is so bloody funny on @news.sky.com - Iran is seriously kicking off, meanwhile London is under attack by copies of Ramiel, the 5th Angel from Neon Genesis Evangelion. This is all really going to hit the motorist at the pump.

I only hear the term "payment run" when I'm getting paid more than 4 weeks late. It's *never* used in any other context #freelanceLyfe

Been a tough week, geopolitically speaking. But at least someone is having fun. 🇮🇷 Iranian Monarchists in #Sheffield celebrating the commencement of hostilities against the current regime. Don't see the Israeli flag too often round here. Proximity to war memorial possibly accidental #Iran #protests

The (slightly crap) #Sheffield BetterPoints app for 'active travel' has been broken for 13 days. Protip: Log out and login again. Shame. I did miles a day on foot, bike and bus. That's like 0.3% of a free cup of coffee from selected retailers I'm missing out on. Back to the car! Out of spite, like.

Happy Threads Day 2026 to all who celebrate 🙌 #Sheffield #AlmostThere #ThreadsDay

Tickets for our March #FrontEndSheff event now available: Regulars Alife & Neil are cramming in 4x (!) talks about using our #WebDev skills to make real services better for real people #microhacking www.meetup.com/front-end-sh...

Senator John McCain has been dead & buried for more than 7 years, but I'll wager anything that he still managed to get an erection this morning. #Iran

Even though #WCAG AAA isn't always imperative, it's full of goodies - like timing issues - still of benefit to some of your users (*whispers* & may bring some conversion rate wins, fellow savage capitalists) Impromptu pokemans example ties this into games: @kitation.co.uk #FrontEndSheff #a11y

Great to see #PVA return to #Sheffield last night and Sidney & Matilda the perfect sport to see them. I spent ages with their first album and their 2nd deserves investigation by anyone after a bit of synthyness.

If you see one talk that bridges the worlds of #accessibility compliance & video games this year, make it this one on Thursday 26th from @kitation.co.uk: 🎟️ www.meetup.com/front-end-sh... Also, we'll be giving an overview of what's coming up @ #FrontEndSheff in 2026.

Very glad to see they've got military expert Boris Johnson on #BBCLauraK to discuss the war in Ukraine. (Image unrelated)

Be me, a front end web developer:

You know how AI is taking all our jobs in tech? And how we're screwed? You read that yeah? Is there any chance in the midst of it all, it could take the job of whoever writes the Slack changelogs? (I'd say it already has, but this whimsical bullshit has been going on for years) #noFunAllowed

As a resident of 10+ years, I like to watch these videos that @sheffielduni.bsky.social bang out every year. It's fun to see stuff you recognise in #Sheffield - and sort of take for granted sometimes - presented in such a polished way for external audiences: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_j9R...

Get you a workplace that has the same collaborative spirit as this couple of droney bois. 6 month reviews will fly by.

This is next week! Do you wanna hear me rant about accessibility compliance and follow up with cool video games? Then this is the talk for you. Will be bringing my steam deck along so you can have a go on some of the games I talk about!

It's quite possible that these people are not especially 'details orientated' #ukpol

Absolutely humiliated that I made this post. Surely I was close though? 🚀

Billy Bragg said this whilst sat next to a Reform MP on #BBCLauraK. Thanks for your help, you thick cunt x
