Front-end/design systems engineer (web components, a11y, CSS, JS; former full-stack/ColdFusion developer), metalhead, geek, father.https://bsky.app/profile/dgibson.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/dgibson.bsky.social/post/3lvvltncadk2lSaw Volbeat for the first time in over a decade with my son last night at Jiffy Lube Live. Seats were great - front and center in the orchestra section behind the pit. They do an amazing job of creating headbanging riffs with catchy hooks and vocal melodies and the singing was spot-on.08 Aug 2025 15:44 +0000at://did:plc:md2dv62to5ehmmdrdgbccxml/app.bsky.feed.post/3lvvltncadk2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/dgibson.bsky.social/post/3logj3izlb226Well played.

I swear I thought they did not work properly when I first started using flex and grid several years ago.25 Apr 2025 14:06 +0000at://did:plc:md2dv62to5ehmmdrdgbccxml/app.bsky.feed.post/3lnnfeylhik2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/dgibson.bsky.social/post/3lhepc5vd2s2sBack from my 5th 70000 Tons of Metal (counting Barge To Hell*). It's been 7 years since my last one. It was my first on my own without knowing anyone but I still had a great time seeing all the bands. I thought the lineup was great despite skipping some of the biggest bands (symphonic/power metal).04 Feb 2025 18:38 +0000at://did:plc:md2dv62to5ehmmdrdgbccxml/app.bsky.feed.post/3lhepc5vd2s2shttps://bsky.app/profile/dgibson.bsky.social/post/3lemtag37us2oAmazing article that articulates so well what so few managers consider (in my experience) and I've seen firsthand. On the design system front, it's why I push strong requirements and documentation, but not everyone is a writer and that still only goes so far. https://olano.dev/blog/software-design-is-knowledge-building/31 Dec 2024 19:54 +0000at://did:plc:md2dv62to5ehmmdrdgbccxml/app.bsky.feed.post/3lemtag37us2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/dgibson.bsky.social/post/3lbx7nm7szs2zSounds great, along with playing media in the app, it's a far better experience than other social media so far.

Because accessibility should be part of your front end work and especially design systems.

I didn't miss it and when I finally got my blue sky invite about a year ago, I didn't care anymore. But here we are. I finally signed up and the vibes are good. I've found most of my web dev/front end folks I followed already.17 Nov 2024 16:37 +0000at://did:plc:md2dv62to5ehmmdrdgbccxml/app.bsky.feed.post/3lb5tpi2gp22r
