Thomas Hjortsberg is a good friend and ex-colleague of ours. He joins us to talk about collaboration between UX and frontend, and shares his wise words and war-stories based on his many years of UX experience.

In this episode we share a few nice tools, extensions and gotchas with each other. We also ended up talking about how we like to organize our bookmarks. 🔗 Links: Fig.io Bun is a fast all-in-one JavaScript runtime Todo Tree extension for VS Code Webstorm Dialog :readonly Jest todo: https://jestjs.io/docs/api#testtodoname - example: it.todo("should do this thing") Cypress.io Playwright.dev

In this episode we step a little bit away from talking about technologies and tools, instead we talk about being a consultant. What it means and how it's different from being an in-house developer or a freelance developer. We also discuss what different constellations we have been part of and some of the nice things of being a consultant.

AngularJS reached end of LTS (Long Term Support) on 31st of December 2021, so we're saying goodbye to an old friend and go back in time and talk about our first encounters with AngularJS and remember all the goods and the bads.

Since IE will be retired on June 15th 2022, we're talking a bit about how it was back in the days when we had to support old IE versions.  What does this retirement of IE mean to us as frontend developers?  What about the UX side of the decision of dropping IE support? What problems will disappear together with the support of IE? What web features will we be able to use? 🔗 LINKS "The Internet Explorer 11 desktop application will be retired on June 15, 2022" IE retirement announcement:  Slack Huddle https://slack.com/intl/en-dk/help/articles/4402059015315-Start-a-huddle-in-a-channel-or-direct-message HTTP 203 - Is Safari the new IE? https://http203.libsyn.com/is-safari-the-new-ie Moving users to Microsoft Edge from Internet Explorer https://docs.microsoft.com/da-dk/microsoft-edge/web-platform/ie-to-microsoft-edge-redirection Browser-update https://browser-update.org/ shame.css https://csswizardry.com/2013/04/shame-css/ :focus-visible https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/:focus-visible object-fit https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/object-fit CSS Scroll Snap https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Scroll_Snap Flexbox gap https://caniuse.com/flexbox-gap WebP images https://caniuse.com/webp CSS Custom Properties https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Using_CSS_custom_properties line-clamp https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/-webkit-line-clamp :is() https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/:is :where() https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/:where String.includes https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/includes Template Literals https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Template_literals Dynamic Imports https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Statements/import#dynamic_imports
