I help people build the web better. I love pirates, puppies, and Pixar movies. ADHD AF. he/him 🏴☠️
If you do halfway, decent work in the trades, return calls, and actually show up, You could have a phenomenally successful business with no college debt.
It’s almost impossible to find good people. The trades are so slept on as a career choice. And you can’t be automated by AI either.
Last week, I learned that the punk band Rise Against has an acoustic symphony album called Ghost Note Symphonies. We’ve had rainy acoustic music weather here the last few days, and one song on the album really stood out to me: Miracle. (Here’s the original punk version if you’d prefer it.) It’s a song about not waiting for the change you want to happen. About getting out there and making your dent in the universe.
I’ve been doing a lot of work on my digital garden over the last few weeks, and wanted to briefly mention some updates. I completely replanted the Reference Guides. Rather than being “recreated MDN,” it’s now big bucket of notes and how-to articles, filterable with tags. I’m harvesting content from the old guides, cleaning it up, and planting it anew. I’ve added new garden sections. I now have dedicate planters for my favorite media, places I’ve been to, info about my D&D characters and MtG decks, and my ongoing projects.
@mottokrosh Nice! Strong same! I have a bias for rules-light systems myself, because...
1. I love the chaos/creativity.
2. I prefer storytelling over mechanics (not that they're mutually exclusive).
3. My ADHD means complex rulesets break immersion for me.
You've got an amazing collection of work! I made my own system, too, but mostly because I wanted to not have to think when running games: https://adventure.gomakethings.com

As I say later in the thread, this is not to be gate-kept. Associate yourself with the Inclusive Front as you wish!
BUT if you would actually like to see some kind of criteria so that you can orient yourself, then my personal thinking is thus:
People who:
- care about other people (non negotiable)
- work or hobby in or adjacent to the web's front end
- care about accessibility (even when we don't always get it right)
- care about diversity (race, age, ability, neuro or other)
