      Folks over on LinkedIn are much more active (and interactive) than any other platform I'm on. Several people have shared the course promo in the last 3 days, and I am thankful for each one πŸ™ŒπŸ»
      
      I wanted to share this recommendation I saw first thing this morning:
      Roman Seidelsohn on LinkedIn said:

Sharing Sara Soueidan's special promotion in honor of Global Accessibility Awareness Day for the by far best and absolutely outstanding and exhaustive online video course "Practical Accessibility": Get 25% off if you buy before June.

And even if you're not quick enough, it's definitely worth every cent. And your users will thank you for it, I promise.

And no, I am not affiliated in any way with Sara and get nothing for promoting it. It just makes the world a bit better if just one person watches this course as a consequence of my post here.

      Thiiiiis.
      
      While like many, I do like to have my own "tunnel time" to get into some coding flow - people and connections are so important to me, too.
      
      Probably why I love the conferences that center people making friends while attending.
      
      And can you even access 'flow' while using an LLM to code?

      Whoever cursed me with a Paula Abdul "Straight Up" earworm needs an award because it's in the same vein of "I hope your floor always has LEGO on it" type of inconvenience.
      
      It's an effective but not evil curse πŸ˜†
