Aw thank you! It was titled "Becoming an accessibility-focused developer". And it went so well! I was nervous in the run up but people were really nice and asked lots of good questions after 😁

The video will be released soon but I have the slides up on bit.ly/a11y-focused-developer in case you're interested

It was titled "Web Performance Hacks 😎" I talked about HTML Parsing and Rendering in the beginning and then I talked about how we can get the first paint as quickly as possible.

And yes I loved the overall experience so I'm totally looking to do more!

Here are my slides for web performance hacks talk

I made my first Android app, at least something that I can actually call a functional app. Its a game.

Also I done full backend of one of my projects in flask so it stayed to finish when I have time the part that is frontend related. It will be Vue.js.
Also I worked on one more of my projects and done quite a lot on the level on improving my organisation and notes talking and prioritisation.

After writing a couple of web-relared arricles, I got the CSS badge on DEV.

At work, the whole team had a great sprint, we had a release of our component library, and got closer to our end of March deadline 🙂

I learned about publishto.dev/ and queued up a number of articles.

I kicked off a new series with my article what-is-kedro. The next one will be out on Monday.
