Small Things With Great Love

Given my occupation and its dependence on typing, I’m terrified of hand injuries (one episode of Game of Thrones I’ll never rewatch is Walk of Punishment, it creeped me out for weeks, even though I knew what was coming; and ugh, now I just read the wiki, and I shouldn’t have).

But it turns out there exist reasonably powerful solutions, such as one that Josh Comeau described in a post on Hands-Free Coding. Not so bad, and a useful reminder that assistive technology isn’t just for “the other”. It’s hard to get right, but it’s worth the effort.

On a related note, mid-last year Amazon added two new leadership principles. They’re slowly being integrated into our culture, and I’ve been hesitant to add them to my post tagging scheme. But today felt the right time to apply one.
