Elm Town 58 – Unblocking users with quality software

Author: Jared M. Smith June 13, 2023 Duration: 58:05
Tessa Kelly shares her experience unblocking users while building quality software, explains how to avoid the "accessibility dongle" using the Elm philosophy, and considers some tesk9/accessible-html design changes.

Elm isn't just a programming language; it's a community built by curious and passionate people. Elm Town, hosted by Jared M. Smith, gives that community a voice. Each episode moves beyond technical syntax to explore the human stories behind the code. You'll hear from the individuals who are actively shaping Elm, from its core creators to developers who have chosen it for ambitious projects. Conversations delve into their motivations, the challenges they've faced, and the unique solutions they've built. This podcast captures the ongoing dialogue about where Elm is headed and why its approach to front-end development resonates so deeply. It’s about the philosophy of building reliable software and the collective effort that turns a good idea into a practical tool. Tune in for thoughtful discussions that feel like pulling up a chair with fellow engineers, where the talk is as much about craft and community as it is about compiler errors and elegant architecture. In Elm Town, you get a genuine sense of the people making and using the Elm language, and all the interesting things they do along the way.
