While I’m unsure how long this job search could take i wanted to open myself back up to consulting engagements
Over my 8 year career I’ve always been dedicated to building community and helping others to understand what works and what doesn’t. You can see clearly how obsessed i am with the developer journey.
I’ve improved the surface area of every company I’ve worked at by focusing on creating (mostly discord) communities around your product and connecting the teams i work with to the community they serve.
I’ve created and trained staff for an online conference when everything moved online, helped move B2B slack > discord, and helped some of your favorite tools get setup with their first community!
Beyond community consulting, I’ve also kept my UI skills sharpened with many of your favorite stacks from my time working across tools embedded in our current ecosystem, with most of my experience with Next, Astro, Remix, and 11ty.
If any of this sounds like something i can impact at your company, please let me know 🤝

My role at Netlify was part of a recent RIF and I am excited to be looking for a new position!
I'm an experienced engineer, designer, and generative artist looking for roles in the front-end/design engineering space ✨

Some recent work...
People who do accessibility consulting, what kind of protections do you put in place (if any) to protect yourself in case a site you audit gets sued and the company would like to pass the blame to you?
This. The best managers I've had spent time in our 1:1's building trust and rapport . When I started running 1:1's last year, it's something I tried to replicate. Your relationship with your team is crucial to your role as a manager/lead.

I'm getting laid off at the end of May. I really need a safe place to land. I really enjoy developer experience/tooling work, I've also been working on e-commerce focused teams the past 3 years. Happy anywhere on the stack, remote preferred, US / Washington State based.
Can learn more about me and positions that would be a good fit at darrik.dev/for-hire/

New post! “Subtitles, Closed Captions, and Open Captions: What's the Difference?”
Do closed captions imply the existence of open captions? Why do video players distinguish between captions and subtitles? What ARE atom rays of superhuman strength? #a11y

I'm a multi-decade accessibility veteran. I learned a new thing today. How? Watching someone with a disability use a thing we built.
The moment you think "I really get this!" – that's the moment you need to amplify your efforts to include people with disabilities in your work.

Probably one of my favorite things I’ve ever storyboarded. Incredibly thankful I was trusted with this scene 🥺🙏. Something particularly cool about working on this was that (1/2)

Has anyone written anything about specific ways that visual consistency across an interface can improve accessibility for disabled users?
All I'm finding are broad, handwavy assertions that consistency is good for #a11y, but I'n interested in something more concrete than that.
