We have a icon button that opens the site navigation. It currently has the aria-label "Open menu". Thinking we should change this to "Open navigation", which is probably worse - but we're a food sales site and i'm worried people might think it's the food menu.. thoughts?

People who know more about WCAG / web accesability - when showing a "skeleton" loading state, how should I communicate to the user the page contents (in this case a menu for ordering food) is still loading. role="progressbar" valuenow="ideterminate" ? Load time ~0.5-3s.

@ChevyRay This is exactly what Flutter's layout system does and it's pretty elegant if a little verbose.

@ehjc @soundasleep nintendo.com/store/products… and nintendo.com/store/products… are both very popular, though I haven't played either on Switch so can't vouch for the quality on that console. Portia plays very well on PC :)

@paperddotink do y'all have any docs for debugging "Wrong boot mode detected (0x13)!" errors during writing? Seems to be working about 1/10 times on MacOS via the offical Apple Multimedia adapter.

It amazing to me that an NZ musician with such a fantastical, extreme view of the world could have written such pathologically boring music.

That feeling when your team does a bunch of awesome changes but large changes, then demand is low and you can't tell if something is broken or people are just not hungry.

Plumbing attempt #1, pretty decent, minimal flooding. We have a working laundry sink. Plumbing attempt #2, leaked through ceiling and required an insurance claim to get light fixtures repaired. Plumbing attempt #3, I'm starting with Reddit for advice. What can go wrong?

@sanityinc @mogest I should note my experience is limited to building very frontend focused things - the majority of our typescript is dealing with React + PubNub or DOM + PubNub, so we have pretty well typed interfaces to work with.

@sanityinc @mogest Generally, you get that "when the compiler passes you're done" vibe with most code, the major notable exception is when you're dealing with code that does a lot of work with the DOM and not a framework, or you don't enable some of the TS strictness checks.
