@mandymichael.bsky.socialI was scrolling through linkedin (I don’t know why) and mos of the posts were very clearly AI generated. If that wasn’t bad enough most of the comments were aswell. This is so dumb. It’s just AI talking to AI about AI? I don’t want to know what AI thinks about itself. This is absurd. I hate it.
@mandymichael.bsky.socialI’ve started writing down some of my thoughts about Frontend & AI. I’m not an expert, but where I’ve landed for now is that Design Systems are no longer optional. They are critical, and having dedicated people focused on them is more important than ever.
@mandymichael.bsky.socialSome holiday text effects. There are definitely better ways to do these now but use it for inspiration

@mandymichael.bsky.socialI’ve been seeing a lot of AI talks and articles lately - I have no idea what’s going on but it has got me wondering about Performance and accessibility and I only have more questions.
“People deserved a better web. Will AI be the one who gets it?”

@mandymichael.bsky.socialToday I learned about “slopsquatting”. What a word. @webdirections.org #code2025
@mandymichael.bsky.socialDrinking cocktails and talking about fonts is one of my life’s joys! 😄
@mandymichael.bsky.social@elly.lol immediately after the talk I realised the answer to your question! You can use size adjust in font face to adjust roboto. There is no reason you can let size adjust multiple fallback options to match your first choice font
@yvonnezlam.bsky.socialReposted by @mandymichael.bsky.socialEither A.I. is an essential part of the job, in which case it's reasonable for candidates to use it and reasonable for employers to assess the skill of candidates at using it, or it's not.
@mandymichael.bsky.socialWhenever I see someone give a talk about CSS I always get reminded how awesome it is! It’s always getting better and solving problems in simple ways! So underrated for what it does!! (Great talk by @5t3ph.bsky.social about Modern CSS at @webdirections.org )
@mandymichael.bsky.socialCaught a great talk by @ghuntley.com at Code Leaders @webdirections.org
He talked about the future belongs to people who can understand and work with AI. If you're not picking up these tools, you're gonna get left behind.
@mandymichael.bsky.socialIn Melbourne for @webdirections.org Code and Code Leaders! 👋✨
@mandymichael.bsky.socialSo was I!

@mandymichael.bsky.socialNice to see features supporting the use of CSS Grid being implemented into Figma. #config2025 Hope to see more people using CSS Grid in the future as a result!
@mandymichael.bsky.socialVisiting SF for Config! Looking forward to all the sessions! #Config2025
@mandymichael.bsky.socialSo looking forward to seeing your session!
@mandymichael.bsky.socialOh really. Uggh
@mandymichael.bsky.socialCan someone move Buy Nothing groups off Facebook so I don’t have to use it anymore please!?
@mandymichael.bsky.socialI was scrolling through TikTok and came across a fashion video - long story short TIL that people don’t know what wingdings looks like and that there are multiple versions. Then I wondered if that’s normal and I’m the weird one?
@mandymichael.bsky.socialThis is one of my favourite talks about Accessibility! Definitely worth a watch!
