Jen SimmonsBeing a woman in the tech industry has unfortunately given me an incredible amount of experience dealing with hate, harassment, & violent verbal attacks. It’s given me an incredibly thick skin. However recent attacks are pushing me over some kind of edge. It’s horrible to work hard on something for years, with an amazing team, only to have the weirdest, totally-wrong theories floated around as fact, endorsed by colleagues across the web industry. This level of hatred and cynicism is shocking.
erin sparling@jensimmons your work with my teams at NYT so many years ago didn’t just bring CSS Grid to the products there, but to my students as well. True transformation, coupled with the tooling to make it easy to understand!
@everyplace Oh I’m so glad that day at NYTimes was helpful! And the Grid Inspector, too!
Being able to present at the NYTimes and at the Washington Post stand out as a highlight in my career. What an honor.
And thanks! CSS Grid *is* amazing. Especially with Subgrid! I’m still surprised when people reach for Flexbox — when Grid would be a perfect solution.
Minds on Design Lab (MOD-Lab)@jensimmons Your work is very appreciated by us. You share here about CSS grid and notably appreciate your advocacy, knowledge sharing, and improvements to our tools around that. We have some team members who really have been enjoying all that CSS Grid offers. Allowing us to say yes, easier, to our design team to address the layouts and design visions they come up with.
