A reminder that our 28th May #FrontEndSheff meetup is this Thursday - feat. Thomas Baker, David Warrington and their insight into both styling systems and TypeScript schema validation.

Perhaps more excitingly: the temperature should have dropped a few degrees by then and we're sending our crack team of organisers a little bit earlier to Charles St. to figure out how to work aircon 🧊

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"

@alifeee & @neilzilla put on a great - for want of a better term - show for us: highlighting the broad range of tools and skills we have as frontend developers to fix… well, loads of stuff. Thanks lads!

Anyone have some interesting adventures via the 'personal website roulette'?

Even though #WCAG AAA isn't always imperative, it's full of goodies - like timing related issues - which are still of great benefit to some of your users (*whispers* and I suppose may bring some conversion rate wins, fellow savage capitalists)
