Thrilled Modern Web Guidance is now out, keeping quiet has been SO HARD! 🤐
I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with Google on this project as a domain expert consultant over the past few months, and have seen firsthand the level of thoughtfulness and genuine care for developers and the web platform that has gone into it. ❤️
It’s still very early days, but I’m proud to have played a small part, and excited for what's next. Looking forward to seeing what folks build!
Thanks to prompting from one of our customers we now publish a Accessibility Conformance Report (VPAT), so that organizations, especially public sector have, clear, structured information about the accessibility of our service.
Before publishing we did a big round of accessibility improvements to the site (with a few more coming this week)

Doug Ford should have asked permission of voters to buy them a jet for their premier. Don't whine about the media reporting on it.
While you're at it, scrap that anti-access to information for the premier's office communication.
If there's an office we can't trust, apparently it's his.
State of AI 2026. Devographics launched a new survey focused on how developers use AI tools, models, and coding assistants in their daily workflows. The survey covers topics like code generation, prompt engineering, AI-powered testing, and model preferences. It takes about 15-20 minutes to complete and will help map the rapidly evolving landscape of AI in software development. #ai #survey
