Hey 👋

Last Friday's Designer + Dev Mixer hosted by Sprintfolio was brilliant. It was great to meet so many talented designers. I appreciate everyone who connected with me.

I had the pleasure of giving a short talk about the silos in which designers and developers often find themselves. I hope everyone found it informative and took away some useful knowledge.

I would love to host a similar event with Unicorn Club. There are so many talented individuals in this community, and it would be great to get together virtually. Could you spare a few seconds to fill out this survey about the best time for you to attend a Unicorn Club event? Here's the link: Unicorn Club Event Survey.

Enjoy 🤗 - Adam at Unicorn Club.

Let's face reality: browsers' default 16px font size is small. Although that may be a personal opinion based on me getting old 😅

*****JS was called Mocha***** - Before it was known as JavaScript, the language went by the names Mocha and LiveScript. The name change to JavaScript was partly a marketing strategy to capitalise on the popularity of Java at the time.
