Hi all! 👋 I was laid off and am looking for my next senior front end developer role. I have 19+ years of experience working with small agencies and Fortune 500 companies and focus on writing clean, accessible HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Resume: aubreysambor.com/resume/ Leads/reposts appreciated!

Somehow one of my all-time favorite albums turned 40 (!!) years old today 🤯 album.link/us/i/408687081 #TheFall #Punk

A few years ago I wrote about missing Kong Studios: cloudfour.com/thinks/i-mis... Looks like I got my wish: gorillaz.com/Kongstudiosf... #WebDesign #Gorillaz

#Animation fans in #NewYork, take note: Weird Al hosts a Bill Plympton retrospective at the IFC Center next month, with a portion of proceeds benefiting The Trevor Project www.cartoonbrew.com/events/bill-...

Clever #CSS trick from the incomparable @anatudor.bsky.social for drawing `radial-gradient` discs with crisp edges: frontendmasters.com/blog/obsessi... Newly noted in my CSS Circles article: cloudfour.com/thinks/css-c...

Been having fun tinkering with @obsidian.md’s new Bases feature this week. My formulas for star ratings and automatic covers: tylersticka.com/journal/obsi... #obsidian

Really enjoyed playing #Loddlenaut, a cozy #IndieGame where you explore and clean up an undersea biome with serious “chao garden” vibes (if you know, you know) www.loddlenaut.com #FanArt

A brief tribute to my dog’s most startling sleep position 🫣 tylersticka.com/journal/bust...

A hard-hitting story of how our dog Coco increased my appreciation for accessibility technology. The illustration of Coco by @tylersticka.com captures her silliness well. cloudfour.com/thinks/how-o...

Poco is an astonishingly good (and free!) point-and-click adventure store.steampowered.com/app/3454610/... #FanArt #Poco #IndieDev

I recently had the pleasure of working with @gerardo.bsky.social, @tylersticka.com, and a few other folks from the @cloudfour.com team, and WOW what an absolute delight they are to work with! @gerardo.bsky.social writes better docs than any dev I've EVER worked with!

Android Instant Apps are Dead, iOS App Clips Should Follow – My latest featuring a brilliant illustration from @tylersticka.com cloudfour.com/thinks/andro...

Gosh, I really loved Crypt Custodian. Don’t sleep on this one if you enjoy “metroidvania” games, it’s so fun and charming. #FanArt #CryptCustodian #IndieGame

Absolutely lovely article by @tylersticka.com on the joy that can be found in overcoming constraints in less-than-ideal projects. cloudfour.com/thinks/findi...

Confessing my affection for projects with less-than-ideal requirements ❤️ cloudfour.com/thinks/findi... #WebDesign #WebDev #Process

Follow up question about iOS App Clips. Do you have any installed on your phone right now? They are listed at the bottom of your App Library and have dotted lines around the icon. appletoolbox.com/how-to-fi…

RIP Brian Wilson 💜 Saw him perform Pet Sounds in 2016 with Al Jardine and (I believe) this same lineup of musicians: www.youtube.com/watch?v=gx5P...

Finished #1000xResist for the first time today, and… wow. Phenomenal game! #fanart

#UsagiYojimbo is one of my all-time favorite comic book series! If you’re curious to learn why, there’s a Humble Bundle of digital UY #comics happening now: www.humblebundle.com/books/usagi-...

Delightful morning read: How one of my favorite comic series was adapted to the Commodore 64 back in 1988 www.timeextension.com/features/how... #RetroGaming #UsagiYojimbo

Stopped by Excalibur yesterday for their Memorial Day Weekend sale. Found 28 comics on my list, all 50% off. Still kind of stunned by my haul 😳 #comics #pdx

I made an itty-bitty #AlfredApp workflow so I could use “smart” punctuation more easily: tylersticka.com/journal/alfr...

It’s weird to me when a team-oriented SAAS product that charges per member doesn't have a concept of free/cheaper “admin-only” members to manage billing details without contributing. You’d think they’d want to remove any barrier to getting paid.

Hey you! Do you wear #tshirts? 👕 Do you like #ducks? 🦆 How about #UFOs? 👽 If you answered “yes” to some or all of these questions, then dig this new merch for my buddy @spaceninja.com’s podcast @veryexcitingtime.com… art by yours truly! cottonbureau.com/p/WGDZKA/shi...

GSAP is now free. 😍 gsap.com/blog/3-13/

It looks like I may need a #keyboard replacement soon, would love some recommendations. I’d like to go #mechanical this time, mostly for the freedom to repair and tinker. 1/3

Quick FYI everyone, I’m cool now: tylersticka.com/journal/fina...

Thrilled for the shoutout from @tylersticka.com about my book, Design for Developers 🫶 cloudfour.com/thinks/desig... My book lays the foundational skills for anyone wanting to learn more about how to design for the web. No design experience required. It's an evergreen resource!

I'll document any insights along the way and share them in due time. If you'd like some tips on how to design in the browser, this recent post by @tylersticka.com has some good tips: cloudfour.com/thinks/desig...

I wish I would've had these tips back when I was starting out in web design. The interplay between design tools and the browser — not to mention modern tooling — open up so many opportunities. @tylersticka.com really reminds me why designing for the web is STILL fun.

I’m fortunate to have worked with a lot of amazing designers over the years. Some were curious about designing in the browser with basic #HTML and #CSS, but weren’t sure where to begin. This advice helped point them in the right direction: cloudfour.com/thinks/desig... #WebDesign #DesignProcess

If a designer was interested in following more designer-developers / design engineers / folks who design in the browser for inspiration, whose work would you point them to? #WebDesign

Love BAFTA’s pick for “most influential game of all time” www.bafta.org/stories/the-... #FanArt #VideoGames #Shenmue

Last night, I finished my backlog of #VideoGames. Only took me ten years! 🙈 tylersticka.com/journal/vide...

Cowardly Defaults and Courageous Overrides with Modern CSS from @tylersticka.com on @cloudfour.com cloudfour.com/thinks... #FrontEnd #CSS #WebDev

It used to be quite challenging to set the precedence of individual #CSS rules without some pain. (This encouraged the practice of authoring many small utility classes that do very little on their own.) Thankfully, that’s no longer the case. Here’s a simple example: cloudfour.com/thinks/cowar...

Finished Asura’s Wrath the other day. The title was accurate, Asura seemed quite upset. #FanArt #AsurasWrath #Capcom

Do you know the secret behind (most) Progress Bars on the web? 🤔 They don't usually measure anything but just serve as an indicator that the loading has not stalled. Tyler Sticka (@tylersticka.com) explains more: cssw.io/progress-bar...

I’ve been recommending `<video>` elements for short-form, looping, inline clips (GIFs, etc.) for a while. The biggest pain point I hear from folks is the lack of an `alt` attribute. Last week I made an issue for that: github.com/whatwg/html/... Could probably use more reactions/discussion? #HTML

For longer running tasks, I've resorted to using tic-tac-toe. Doesn't take a lot of JS, and keeps me engaged. Bonus if you add code to make the computer cheat from time to time. ("what?! now I'm going to win.")

During one of my earliest professional projects, I encountered a progress bar that was, as the engineering team put it, “complete nonsense.” Here’s how it worked, why it worked that way, and the more honest alternatives it inspired: cloudfour.com/thinks/truth... #UX #UI #Design

In light of the latest Mozilla controversy, I thought I’d reshare my own browser journey from last year… (1/4)
