It’ll take a while to process the whole experience from today at @brightonruby

It’s such a priviledge to have been part of the event and the beautiful #ruby community.

Thank you Andy for your support, and thank you everyone all the conversations at the after party.

We can do this!

Just one more sleep to go!!

#accessibility #a11y #frontend

Happy to be able to finally find some time to publish this post on how I've embedded accessibility testing into my workflow.

Is this similar to how you work?

Looking forward to sharing the mic with Megan Booth at ProductTank Edinburgh on Wednesday 21st May.

This will be the first time we tell how FreeAgent's culture has enabled the creation of a grassroots group of Accessibility Champions, how this group is helping spread the accessibility mindset, and what small, every day actions are key.

Many questions remain unanswered, but lately I’ve been trying to figure out why we are so rubbish at #accessibility

Any thoughts welcome!

#softwaredevelopment #rails #bulma

Like many devs, I've got a pet project that I use for tinkering and learning.

Since my last career change was from a javascript-focussed team to a Rails-focussed one, my current project is of course a Rails app.

Initially this app used Bootstrap but the bootstrap-sass gem has a vulnerability so I decided to migrate to Bulma.

You can find the steps on a Dev.to post: https://dev.to/carmemias/how-to-migrate-a-rails-app-from-bootstrap-to-bulma-b02

#hello #softwaredevelopment

After a long while off the socials, I've bitten the bullet and got account here.
So far Mastodon looks better than last time I gave it a go.

I'll be working on building up a meaningful following/followers list and content on all things software.
