people who put forks and knives pointing up in the dishwasher are not ok.

I'm speaking about the role of cognitive, emotional, and compassionate empathy in product design at #CodeStock2026 in April. Hope to see you there.

This is your reminder to check up on your people, especially the quiet ones. Folks are not as ok as you might think.

Me: repositions app on the Mac desktop so I can see another app. MacOS: oh you want the app to be fullscreen Me: NO! 🤦

I've been asked why I use buttons and links as examples when talking about accessibility. It's because they are the easiest things to author and yet, I still see code like this... This is from the parent site of company that's built an AI tool that boasts 100% compliance. #Accessibility #HTML

This morning was eventful. I'm exhausted

Oh my god. Open it, click thru until you see it, and then keep going at least another eight photos

To the designer and developer of this site that requires me to fill out a form with 11px font size, I just wanna talk.

42 to 7 #Indiana is destroying #Oregon #Big10 #PeachBowl

Thought about going to the #BrowserStack event, but their form only accepts work emails.

Dude has his backpack in his lap just before takeoff and the attendant asks him to place it under the seat. He gets an attitude. What is wrong with people? It's literally air passenger 101.

Jack of all trades, master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.

The water felt great! #scuba

Spent about an hour underwater today and it felt great! The water was around 83 degrees. Saw a huge stingray, several turtles, walleye, a spotted moray, and a huge lobster. #STX #StCroix #ScubaDiver

The last thing I did in 2025 was drive on the left side of the road

Just saw a dude wearing a shirt that said "wokeness breeds weakness". If he really understood the term, he'd know that he thinks being informed and educated is a weakness.

Introducing Flint: a fast, friendly linter. Flint is an experimental linter made to validate several hypotheses: hybrid linting, streamlined rich configuration, thorough docs & plugins, and tooling coordination. Expect to hear more about Flint over the next month. ❤️‍🔥 www.flint.fyi/blog/introdu...

What's more troubling is that the audit tool I was asked to check out had accessibility issues itself. Many of them were the usual suspects, like low contrast, interactive controls without focus rings.

I was sent a link to an automated accessibility scanner to check out. I tested a site that had an animation that played longer than 5 seconds. The tool reported a perfect score, but it missed lack of controls for the animation, which is a WCAG failure. www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/U... #A11y

Yesterday's low was 57 degrees and we had the windows open. Today, the low will be 21.

LMBO!!!

I really would like to know where these people were when they Shazamed my song.

This is makes two weekends in a row that there has been a head-on collision at the intersection in our neighborhood.

I can't stand visiting a mobile site and 2/3rds for the screen is full of ads.

Diving Through Neon didn't do to bad in my book. Thanks for listening.

Woke up this morning and saw that my first Chrome extension has been published! I have been using it locally for a while now and figured I'd submit it for everyone else to use. chromewebstore.google.com/detail/lgfli... #A11y #Accessibility #WebDev #Design

Merry Christmas!! ✝️ 🎄🎁

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve! December flew by faster than November.

I have an update that I really did not want to make. With everything going on, I am focused on this and only this. It is not the update I wanted to bring to you but here it is. gofund.me/e40b06322

Me looking at accessibility issues that I'm about to deal with

Jean Grey was right.

"The web page never understood doctypes. They always went over its <head>" I've published this pun and 99 more HTML/CSS jokes on my website: alvaromontoro.com/blog/68088/1... It is a compilation of my previous joke posts, plus 10 new ones to make it a nice, round number. #html #css #webdev #jokes

andrew tate and jake paul both getting knocked out the same weekend is pure entertainment. I love that for them.

Exclusion breaks. Inclusion builds. #SoulFoodSunday

Just submitted my first Chrome extension for review. #Accessibility #A11y

Bars!

Someone sent my wife a document with white text written on yellow.

Me writing a text. I wrote "zooming"and my phone asking if I wanted to translate it to English. Huh?

When someone Shazam's my music, I'm always curious as to where that person heard it.

Not-really-hot take: Thinking `<button role="link">` is ever acceptable in place of `<a href>` is dogmatic transubstantiation belief nonsense. Does not… • fire on Space; • show URL in status bar; • have right-click options; • etc. It is never meat. Er, I mean, a link.

I've been working in the A11y space since 2001. Something I've learned is that even people with disabilities (especially devs) don't care about others with disabilities and will often take an ableist position regarding an issue someone else with a disability may be having. #A11y #FrontEnd #Empathy
