“Human involvement creates humane outcomes.”
@amyhupe.bsky.social said this at @frontendnorth.bsky.social conference in Sheffield this week, and it’s really stuck with me.
Succinct, brilliant and such a valuable way of framing the work.

Soooo I used to make websites for a living and I recently attended a tech conference about web dev (very good people over at @frontendnorth.bsky.social) and it's inspired me to try to make something after all these years of being out of the industry.

#FrontEndNorth was an absolute riot!
Amazing talks by @joehart.bsky.social , @bell.bz and many more people that I could not find with the @ dropdown.

My favorite was of cause Salma Alam-Naylor taking us back to 1995.

Thank you so much to the organizers and wonderful volunteers!

Had a great day from start to end at @frontendnorth.bsky.social #FrontEndNorth!

From @bell.bz's starting talk on genuinely important soft skills. During the break met a group of young software engineers where we talked about the morning talks and I put that talk into context of my own experiences

Had a blast at #FrontEndNorth yesterday. A lovely, friendly crowd, the other speakers were interesting and the organisers planned a brilliant mix of thought-provoking, uplifting, and inspiring creative talks, with a good dose of silliness.

Had a brilliant day at @frontendnorth.bsky.social!

All the talks were excellent + the atmosphere was lovely.

And of course, they were built with “fictional” GUI of the future: @nordcraft.com 🤓

Now at the #NationalVideoGameMuseum nearby with a cheeky can of beer to enjoy from #FrontEndNorth. Time to explore to see what video games I remember from my childhood!

A row of multiple TVs connected to consoles for the Nintendo System. Playing games such as Space Invaders, Super Mario and so on!
