I also build an NPM module to handle this for you. It'll wrap around classes or objects and allow you to use the `_` prefix naming convention to create actual private properties.

I wrote about how to create private variables in JavaScript.
I look at the various ways to achieve private properties on classes while highlighting some of the issues with each method.

I'm looking to compile a list of meetups/usergroups that offer support to speakers to help with travel costs.
Does anyone know of any?

Hey Mastodons, I hear you like open source and federation, so I'd like to tell you about https://gettogether.community/ an open source, federated(*) event planning service similar to Meetup
It's free to use, and while it's still very early development it is live! Try it yourself, share it with your friends, start a team ahd have a Get Together! #gettogether
* Federation is simple and minimal, any help would be most welcomed. Source code is at https://github.com/GetTogetherComm/GetTogether https://mastodon.cloud/media/cPwAJ8QWw5m9yjpJqQk

We need to have a talk about AMP: http://ampletter.org
Ugh! My local network suddenly stopped resolving internal hostnames without the `.local` domain suffix included.
No idea why. 🤷
I wish the Mastodon PWA saved my scroll position when I leave. I hate having to views toots in reverse.
Anyone have any friends working in West London, whose companies might be able to host Codebar* workshops on occasional evenings? If so, please spread the word; the West London chapter is facing a shortage of host centres!
*Codebar is a non-profit initiative that facilitates the growth of a diverse tech community by running regular programming workshops.

I just had my first article published in Smashing Magazine! 😄 It's an intro to Web Payments, including the latest news on browser and 3rd party app support. Hope you like it! https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2018/01/online-purchase-payment-request-api/ #web #webpayments #ecommerce

Today marks 6 months of me being sober. Never would have thought it this time last year.
In 2018 I would be very happy to provide some remote mentoring to someone early on in their web development career. I'm a master of nothing, but could share experience of Web APIs, presenting, blogging, tech leading, interviewing, career choices etc. If it might be useful to chat e.g. once a week or whatever's convenient for you, just DM me or email peter.oshaughnessy@gmail.com with a bit about yourself and we can figure something out :)
I cannot adequately convey the extent of my frustration with the lack of screen reader accessibility in the @AWSCloud console. Buttons and form fields missing accessible names, missing keyboard support... this is a11y 101
Today i learn about username scoped packages in npm!
