Ask HN: What side projects landed you a job?
A few years ago, while I was still in high school, I began learning how to create websites purely for fun. One thing I found to be tedious was self-hosting fonts, with existing solutions to improve it completely abandoned. Consequently, I decided to learn a bit more about JavaScript by rewriting and improving these abandoned projects which led to the creation of Fontsource[0].
This project has undoubtedly set of a series of impactful events in my life, and I attribute many of my successes to it. I've had opportunities to network with numerous amazing engineers through it, leading to a part-time role and multiple internships. Companies that approached me for support also wanted to keep in touch! I also graduate this year and I am going with a full-time role from one of the aforementioned internships.
While I acknowledge my circumstances are extremely fortunate, I genuinely believe that having open source projects early on in your career can significantly contribute to standing out as a developer.

The new Google Fonts: find what you’re looking for
Tip: more privacy friendly Google alternatives are available and super easy to use: https://fontsource.org/
I switched most of my sites to use it and I’ve been quite happy so far.
No need to leak data to Google.
For weirder stuff (e.g. https://tidings.potato.horse) I use sites like dafont.com and convert fonts using Font Squirrel.

Just launched my first svelte project! An opensource alternative to Google Fonts, with a focus on variable fonts. Coming from a React background Svelte has been absolutely amazing to work with.
I personally like using FontSource for this, they have some extra fonts beyond Google Fonts too

Using Fontsource With 11ty
I stumbled upon fontsource.org the other day and I found the idea of installing fonts from npm packages appealing.

Effect of Perceptual Load on Performance Within IDE in People with ADHD Symptoms
Too bad the article is not open-access, as I would expect from JetBrains.
Extra cognitive load slows everyone. It's just that the effect is measurably distinct in people with executive function (distractability) issues, with respect to speed. The distinction between debugging and coding is not really active vs monotonous but driven by your own ideas vs chasing (a problem). The study isn't realistic, but it's designed to get a measurable result (and to showcase the "efficiency tracking" plugin).
Anecdotally, everyone adjusts their IDE, or accommodates what can't (easily) be changed. Too bad that wisdom is lost and hard to share.
I think the solution here is more configurable UI's, with the configuration being automated/scriptable so that once you've established your preferences, you can replicate them through upgrades, etc.
The most configurable IDE of course is Eclipse (which is in decline because no one gets paid directly to write for it, and it's cheaper to publish a language server for your new language than build an IDE). You can arrange views as you like, change menu and toolbar visibility, change key bindings, and of course add whatever plugins/features you need. You can save view configurations as a workspace and save various preferences. But because components come from everywhere, support for configuration capture varies.
People share their dotfiles for shell and vi/emacs configuration, but not their IDE configurations. It's too bad, because then there would be a configuration population to analyze when raising UI issues.
ADHD and ASD are a broad spectrum. It may help to join the tribe because it validates our experience, but then we can fail to recognize our brain's specific biases. Worse, anyone over 7 has been getting good at compensating, which hides the issue, and our culture of excellence/competition/success == good (therefore failure bad) further obscures with shame, defeat, and self-sabotage. Legal requirements for accommodation help set a global floor, but may also work as a local ceiling by supplanting ordinary fellow-feeling.
For reading fatigue, consider a dyslexia font, e.g., https://opendyslexic.org.

Dyslexia font support
GitHub link Website link Source license SIL-OFL I've come across this font that aims to make reading easier for people with dyslexia and I've never seen it implemented before. I feel like it would be really cool if it got implemented into more things :)
- I am genuinely confused about this and have been for a while, but always felt like I'd look stupid if I asked. Do historians not know what year he was born? Surely he would've known, and I imagine he would've told people.
