237: Rapidfire 73

Download MP3

A little follow up this week! We revisit some stuff we've talked about before, like Webpack, TypeScript, and the double-tap bug on iOS.

Chris is trying to get rid of cables on his desk and Dave's shopping for more computer stuff, as always. Then we get into more of your Rapidfire questions and our answers: resources for implementing accessibility in JavaScript apps, finding APIs to practice with, using Adobe XD, <b> vs <strong> tags, and who's responsible for making things secure on the front end?
