I'm tired of people saying that CSS is a useless skill to have. I built up my whole career around it and I'm proud of the work I've done and what I've learned. Stop minimizing this skill just because you think it's hard.
For some of us, it's a primary means to make a living.

Design Systems are for PEOPLE.
You know what else is for people?
Accessibility. Inclusion. Diversity. Culture. Privacy. Ethics. Performance.
Think these things have nothing to do with design systems

Some men in the quote tweets are saying I'm being fascist by moderating this way. This is an inclusive community that people choose to join, and it has a code of conduct. If they don't agree with the code of conduct, they can leave. That's how community moderation works.

2. I also didn't intend to compare our oppressions as the same. Just that they aren't new. But while my intent was to respect Black people, unfortunately my impact was that I still offended. So I am very sorry. Please forgive me. I do love the solidarity.

the ultimate goal of a design system is to serve your user needs. you may think it's spending too much time on building pieces/patterns, but that's the whole point. you now NO LONGER have to focus on building them and can focus on the bigger picture: people's needs.

I’d like to take a moment to brag on myself because I'm feeling proud. I made it two nights in a row at design meetups without drinking any booze or snacking on anything. I just drank water (finishing my day's gallon). I'm feeling confident I'll nail this 30-day challenge! 💪🏼

I am a nice person. But when I choose an aisle seat, it's because I want it! I gotta use the lav a lot. LOL.
I often get couples who book window seats behind each other and ask me to give up my seat so they can sit together.
I say no. And they look at me like I punched them.

3. I turned off comments to avoid white supremacists from trolling. It wasn't intended to keep Black or Asian people from responding. Unfortunately it's difficult to guess what kind of response you will get so it's easier to just turn replies off.

CSS is amazing. I am sad that it seems so undervalued at times. Many of the most senior programmers I know can't grasp it. If you can, know that you are amazing. And there are jobs for you. Try design systems. It welcomes you! 💜💜💜

Are you famous for a thing? Speaking/writing about the thing?
Did a woman and/or person of color inspire you to pursue that thing through their own hard work and experience for that thing?
Have you thanked or acknowledged that person in your work?
