Futurice Tech Weeklies

Times of crisis are a test for how (or not) we have integrated accessibility into our processes. When the urge to help and to do things well apply tension, the shortcuts we rely on might mislead us.

In this talk, we will reframe the conventional “edge case” as a “stress case”. We will cover how accessibility benefits even more people in a crisis, and how our own processes can or should adapt under stress.

The last thing I want to do with this, is to put yet more pressure on you; we already have enough of that. Instead, I want us to look at the systems that are bigger than us, and which will only change with our collective effort.

A rally call for both Finland and Europe to make your sites faster and leaner than before. Along with a primer on how to do so. Including why your fake fast Gatsby site probably ain't so fast for reals and what to do about it.

Traditionally the web has consisted of fully Server Side Rendered (SSR) web pages. As new technologies popped up, more and more dynamic features got introduced. Then, came along React and the golden time of JavaScript based Single Page Applications (SPA). But now, we have gone full circle and “everyone” is talking about SSR again. Why?

Many of you are probably using TypeScript in your daily work. And why not, types make our code safer and tooling can help us more. But from time to time you probably encounter some weird behaviour of the type system that you cannot fully understand. This week I want to explain the foundation of the type system of TypeScript and also contrast it a bit with other languages like PureScript.

Long projects take effort. Past hotfixes accumulate, decisions go untold, and uncertainty may loom. In this talk, we’ll go over incremental changes to our ageing play.fiba3x3.com codebase, and the work we are doing to make it be more responsive and accessible. By the end, I hope you’ll have some things to add to your backlog, and ideas for how to tackle them!
