It was great to run an event on UX and Cognitive Accessibility last week at EdinburghJS - the UX Edinburgh meetup kindly cross-posted to their group, so we had an influx of new attendees. I think it’s really useful for meetup groups to do crossover events like this, as it helps build connections across different disciplines, potentially opening up new opportunities for learning and collaboration. As we are planning the 2026 programme for the JavaScript meetups please do get in touch if you have a suggestion for a collaboration or event idea!

Remember, our Christmas Social is on Tues 16th December, all are welcome!

I asked in the Discord about running a “personal websites” event early next year. Building, writing, indie web, stacks, tools. What would you like to see? What would be of help to you? Jump to the conversation to let me know.

The Discord also had some chat about pair programming and code review this week. Interesting to hear different perspectives! Thanks to everyone who contributed to the conversation.
