How has another 3 months gone by with me barely posting anything? All my 2021 goals are looking very unrealistic (post x number of blog posts, read x number of books) so it’s easy to think 2021 has been “unsuccessful”. Color and contrast, what does it mean? - A good explanation of how colour contrast ratios work, something that I use all the time in my current role.

I haven’t posted any content for so long that I’ve become afraid of publishing again. There are over 100 of these entries all the way back from 2017 of varying quality. I post an entry to this page once a week where I share projects I’ve worked on, interesting things from my social media accounts, blog posts I found useful, or anything else relevant to my work as a web developer.
