👀 Blink and you’ll miss it! - February’s roundup from tempertemper

It never fails to surprise me how quickly February draws to a close. I had a week's holiday, which made it feel even shorter than normal, but I still managed to write a couple of articles for you!

1. Buttons, links, and focus
2. If you’re going to do a job, do it properly

From the archives

I sometimes have to remind myself that covering the basics is never a waste of time. There's always someone who will be hearing it for the first time, and for the rest it's a good reminder. I wrote about this a year or so ago: The curse of knowledge.

Elsewhere on the web

Here are some more interesting articles and videos from around the web that I read during February:

• Pushing Interop Forward in 2023
• 11 Secrets of LEGO Designers, my favourite points being around designing with heavy constrains (colour palettes), and almost always with already-existing bricks (components)
• The Iconfactory Co-Founder Gedeon Maheux Talks Accessibility On Twitter
• What a switch control is and how they work
• Why I'm not the biggest fan of Single Page Applications

Anyway, March is a normal-length month, so there's plenty of time to write some more blog posts before I catch you again on the 31st ✍️
