This week, Saron and I talk about several news stories that we think are relevant to developers:

• Microsoft's new video authenticator — a Deepfake-identification technology
• Google's no-code development platform, which will allow users to automate their processes and create applications without writing any code, relying instead on APIs.
• Chrome 86's new features

Saron and I were lucky enough to be joined by Fen Slattery, Accessibility Lead at Clique Studios to chat about Chrome 86 and focus features. As you'll hear in the episode, @sublimemarch walks us through the :focus-visible pseudoclass and the Quick Focus Highlight feature in Chrome 86. We also talked about the biggest things that developers often forget about when it comes to accessibility.
