Nothing but potential.

You may know me from SVG books, CSS working group, Maps in HTML, or similar, but mostly just lurking on the edges of web dev these days.

re: last retoot

One very helpful thing that white guy freelance associates have done is told me the price they've told a client before passing the lead onto me, I would have drastically undercharged for many jobs without them helping me 'anchor' my prices. you can set the bar for others!

Especially if you are a cis guy and you notice this, or any underpaid co-worker, speak up and advocate for a raise or a review. I did this in a previous job and it was successful.

Making sure others are well compensated is a whole different level of job satisfaction. https://hachyderm.io/@amcvittie/114750043684373746

Your reminder I once discovered a similarly qualified male coworker made like 20k more than I did and it only happened because he was willing to discuss it with me.

A very legitimate well-done to Canada for being one of the least suckered into AI garbage in the world!

"“We’re not seeing that literacy that we would like to see when we compare ourselves to our global peers, and there’s some reluctance around trusting AI and really embedding it in how we perform our day-to-day work and how we work,” said Terril."

Excellent news.

Canada ranks among least AI literate countries in the world: study

As countries around the world race to leverage artificial intelligence (AI), a recent study found that Canada is falling behind, although it’s not due to a lack of innovation, but growing uncertainty and a gap in public understanding, one expert says.

I was laid-off and am looking for a new role.

Working where design meets code is my jam. I am skilled at building accessible design system components, working with Web Components APIs, and creating scalable CSS architecture.

I work remotely from my home in Manitoba, Canada. 🇨🇦

It adds support for High Dynamic Range (HDR), and adds Animated PNG to the official standard.

Portable Network Graphics (PNG) Specification (Third Edition)

This document describes PNG (Portable Network Graphics), an extensible file format for the lossless, portable, well-compressed storage of static and animated raster images. PNG provides a patent-free replacement for GIF and can also replace many common uses of TIFF. Indexed-color, greyscale, and truecolor images are supported, plus an optional alpha channel. Sample depths range from 1 to 16 bits.

When the AI techbros are finally hauled up on charges and asked if they are guilty, their only options for reply should be "yes" or "maybe later".
