Today we volunteered in preserving the coast line of Bonaire. Together with 20 something volunteers we planted a lot of baby mangrove trees. These will root and will shelter the coastline as well as serve as a nursery for aquatic life. It's also a huge absorber of carbon. 🌱 Multiple eco wins! 💪

Fun isn’t a distraction from learning, it’s how we learn best. The web is still a playful playground: open a text editor, try something weird, learn something new. Let's all keep the web fun, weird, and wonderful! ➡️ patrickbrosset.com/articles/202...

Last year we bit the bullet and chose for better work/life balance. Time spent and people met during summer on #Bonaire sped this up, and now we started a new adventure: working remotely (and part time) from this tiny Caribbean island. More family time, more outdoor life, and doing work we enjoy.

we have to build thousands of small websites we love and enjoy in order to beat back the ~10 websites that have transformed this miracle of a communications layer into a compromised nightmare btw release your projects !!!

I guess this time the game really does stop, when the stream ends.

This is a new sort of post for me. Trust in OSS is a thing I care a lot about. This post is my attempt to frame AI slop PRs as an attack on trust in open source.

Started my new role at Tapp today! We're going to reduce e-waste in the global supply chain by offering data loggers that are recyclable all around the globe 🌎♻️ A new role with a (small) positive impact on the world. Excited to be part of this scale up. 🙌

Did a guest talk on "AI, what's under the hood?" for six graders. Boy was it fun! Lots of questions and good back and forths on the risks, how it's used and how to (try and) use it safely. This was an absolute blast! Healthy critical audience, and super bright!

What little CS knowledge I have was hard won over a long period of time. I still don't really care for it, except where it's pragmatic enough to help me make better decisions while I work. If you have a similar background to me, this article is your shortcut to more intentional programming.

75 years ago today, European nations signed this Convention, so the Holocaust could not be repeated. Beware those who want this to end.

I am looking for a full-time job. Being independent in open source for 3.5+ years has been wonderful. I've gotten done most of the high-level goals I wanted to, and miss having people & structure around me. If you know of a role for a staff-level TypeScript+web developer, let me know! 🙂

Creating a short tutorial for @nuxt.com @supabase.com because I want to try out some new techniques (also including CSS) I picked up during conferences!

We made it happen! Going to spend (at least) six months living on the Caribbean island of Bonaire with my family 🏝️ Kids go to Dutch school there, we'll both be working part time to enjoy family time, the sun, surfing and diving to our hearts' content! ☀️🏄🤿🙌

Woke up from a nightmare where Meta decided that product placement in WhatsApp was a good idea: training llms on your private chats to mimic your contacts’ tone and slip in ads. The darker version swaps ads for geopolitical manipulation. #happyhalloween 🎃

Frontmania conference yesterday was a blast! Reconnecting with old friends, making new friends and a glimpse of the future of UI in conversational AI 🧠

The reality that Apple is actively anti-web is obscured by influential, aging web commentators who remember when it wasn't, and enjoy the wealth bubble's shiny toys. They're failing to demand better browsers on their phones, and that's a scandal: open-web-advocacy.org/blog/apples-...

They made damn cartridges WORK holy shit
