Wrote a thing on dev.to https://dev.to/torgo/why-get-involved-in-web-standards-1p4h about why you should get involved in web standards and how you can join the upcoming W3C TPAC breakout sessions.

Can we please, please – PLEASE! not make the nonsensical US date format month/day/year the default in applications? 🤦‍♂️

PRE 👏 TTY 👏 PLEASE

And to all users of that format: it makes no sense, it's counter-intuitive, it makes collaboration frustrating, it introduces inconsistencies and errors... Just stop. Please. Use international standards.
(And don't get me started on your other units of weights, volumes and distances. Bloody hell.)

Boost if I'm right.

On my way back from #w3ctpac. This is an amazing community that I have been involved with since 2001, and continues to evolve and to work at the forefront of web technology. I'm very glad to have helped to sponsor some attendees and to have brought many TPAC newbies to join in.🕸️
