Didn't get the job I was deeply hoping for, unfortunately. Need a remote TypeScript senior/staff-level position as soon as possible.

Kestrels are famous for their ability to hover. This allows them to lock their eyes on the ground and search for small prey like voles and mice. TT: Jacob Rheams Wildlife Photographer - UK

wow — the preprint host, arxiv, is banning authors for a year if they submit papers with hallucinated citations 🤖

Hey! I am open for contract or full-time work as a full-stack developer. I've worked on industrial software, real estate tech, and a visual website builder. I specialize in design systems, a11y, and UX. Previously maintained PostCSS, Rollup, and SVGO. Currently building weareonhire! on Open Social

My favorite way in Finnish to say some topic is not interesting - "Kiviäkin kiinnostaa." That translates as "Even stones are interested".

Welp it's official, I'm on the hunt for my next role. I learned a lot in the past 8 months, and I'm ready to get back out there for my next role. If you're looking for someone for devrel/devrel-adjacent roles, I got over a decade of experience in developer relations and ready help your team!

Why don't we call prompts as spells? That sounds more wizardry.

What's your useless superpower? Mine is silencing babies by looking into their eyes.

My favorite saying in English - please 🐻 with me.

I know we're only about halfway of this year, but I think it's safe to say Karnivool's In Verses is my rock album of the year. So good! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Verses

I wrote a short book to support working with my students doing their theses. The main purpose of the book is to help them develop a sustainable process for writing. It's not the most exhaustive one but I believe it still might be useful to some. learnscientificwriting.com

I am become factory, the producer of softwares.

We have one interesting word in Finnish I haven't encountered elsewhere - jännämies (literally "exciting man"). This roughly translates as a man with exciting qualities but potentially rotten core. It stands in comparison to regular, boring men. I wonder if this tells something about our culture.

GitHub's assimilation is complete.

I have to say one of the better ways to upgrade your audio setup is to buy a subwoofer. I bought a used Genelec 5040A to pair with my old 6010As (tiny monitors) and it brought the whole system alive. It's adding depth even to music that's not so bass heavy. It's difficult to go wrong with Genelec.

Keep going and commit.

If there's only one new band you want to check out this year, let it be Angine de Poitrine. youtu.be/0Ssi-9wS1so

Potatoes, salt, butter, and patience are the secret behind Pommes Maxim. Marco is such an inspiring cook. youtu.be/c3UOVfu8ac0

We have one cool word in Finnish I don't know in other languages. It's "amerikantemppu" (a trick of America) which roughly translated means something that looks difficult to accomplish but in reality is very simple. This word somehow made it from American movies to everyday language.

It's very funny English doesn't have a word for Winter that comes back even though it looks like Spring for a while. In Finnish we call that "takatalvi" (literally Back Winter).

In "The Case for HTML First Development" (preprint), I show how leaning towards standards can make sense and give tangible benefits for web developers. www.researchgate.net/publication/...

I prepared a new 1.5h lecture called "Hypermedia – The solution for lighter web applications?". Slides: www.researchgate.net/publication/...

Lately I've been thinking about how agentic UIs fit the picture and they seem to form a nice compromise between traditional websites and chat UIs while giving users more control. I think it can be like mashups but better as those were painful to develop. It's not all easy, though.

How well does "The Mythical Man-Month" hold up in the era of AI supported software development?

Sheep as a form of commentary on modern art.

Stratovarius' Black Diamond is apparently a song about the cat of Timo Kotipelto. Now it all makes sense.

I've been sketching out the program for this year's #FutureFrontend conference (8-9.6, Dipoli, Espoo, Finland) and it looks like we'll have a good range of design and development topics. To understand where the space is headed, join us at the conference. futurefrontend.com

Time to gain some Winter weight.

So far we've received 20 minutes of sunlight during December at Helsinki. It's possible we might receive a couple of hours today so you know what to do.

Say what you say about LLMs, but they are handy wrangling gnarly LaTeX syntax in place.

In Finland we do only Black Friday, no thanks given.

Writing scientific papers is as easy as ABC.

The fallacy of "PhD level intelligence" is that a PhD tells less about intelligence than persistency.

It turns out if you take down Cloudflare, you take down half of the internet.

I think I just got nerdsniped to research hypermedia and HATEOAS. It seems there's a lot to it.

If you don't like iPadOS Preview app, Zotero (free!) is far superior especially if you want to annotate what you are reading.

I have a new favorite English word - generalizability.
