Config 2024: In defense of an old pixel (Marcin Wichary, Director of Design, Figma) - YouTube
Everyone’s raving about this great talk by Marcin, and rightly so!
This is the transcript of a brilliant presentation by Scott—read the whole thing! It starts with a much-needed history lesson that gets to where we are now with the dismal state of performance on the web, and then gives a whole truckload of handy tips and tricks for improving performance when it comes to styles, scripts, images, fonts, and just about everything on the front end.
Essential!

Here’s Paul’s take on this year’s CSS Day. He’s not an easy man to please, but the event managed to impress even him.
As CSS Day celebrates its milestone anniversary, I was reminded how lucky we are to have events that bring together two constituent parties of the web: implementors and authors (with Sara Soueidan’s talk about the relationship between CSS and accessibility reminding us of the users we ultimately build for). My only complaint is that there are not more events like this; single track, tight subject focus (and amazing catering).
Excellent advice from Stuart.
Watch—and more importantly, listen—to this five minute video to get the full effect.
Here’s the video of the talk I gave at Web Dev Conf in Bristol recently. I think you can tell that I had fun—it was a good audience!
The annual day-long online accessibility event is back on September 23rd.
No sign-up. No registration. All sessions are streamed live and publicly on the Inclusive Design 24 YouTube channel.
Remy and I gave a talk at Brighton’s Async meetup …five years after we were originally booked in.
A genuinely inspiring event.
The Patterns Day conference, the workshop the day after, and an Indie Web Camp on the weekend.
Excellent as always.
Telling the origin story of the web.
