…to make life work better on the ground. To help us all get through this.
Particularly to @NHSX@twitter.com, @NHSDigital@twitter.com, @NHSBSA@twitter.com and every tech organisation and individual working through the weekend and the weeks — I want to pay tribute to you. It’s quite a contribution.

. @torgo, @dbaron and I resolved our issue on the proposed hrefTranslate attribute, for a referring page to hint to the browser that the user is likely to want it to show the next page in another language.
We've explored how we use our time: how much should be design reviews, looking at proposed features for the web - vs - writing broader findings & guides on the architecture of the web.
We want to maximise our impact, balancing the hands-on with the theoretical.
