Web fanboy. A decade in the frontend dev trenches, now teaching new web developers at Business Academy Aarhus how to navigate this crazy world we’ve built out of JS.
Into #RemixRun and the #UseThePlatform resurgence. And #Indieweb is rekindling my original love for the open web.

Sam Altman side by side with Aaron Swartz.
I can't stop thinking about it. One was prosecuted by the US for downloading copyrighted data from 1 source for noble purposes, and committed suicide to avoid prison. The other is widely celebrated for doing this on a much larger scale*.
Edited: *(and not for noble purposes)
Y’all know what this #WordPress kerfuffle means, right? We need to wake good ol’ #Textpattern from its long slumber. It’s been lying in waiting, carefully maintained, ready for a resurrection.
It was the reason I never got on the WP train back in the early aughts. Textpattern just jived much more with my web sensibilities. And Dean Allen was a mf’ing king.
The wait is over. HTML for People is OUT NOW!
I feel strongly that anyone should be able to make a website with HTML if they want. This web book will teach you how to do just that. It doesn’t require any previous experience making websites or coding. I will cover everything you need to know to get started in an approachable and friendly way.
And it’s free for all. 🚀
“It turns out, people in tech are particularly bad at distinguishing between paradigm *shifts* and paradigm *sharts*.
That’s why we have nose-diving cryptocurrencies, dust-collecting monkey JPEG portfolios, and AI-generated children’s books teaching kids about pink, two-headed dinosaurs that never existed.”
I love me some Tailwind and only semi-agree with this tirade, but @heydon is an international treasure for his humor and sarcasm:
Introducing my students to React via the brilliantly approachable Waku framework, so they learn RSC and the new React 19 mental model from the start.
And they’re building personal portfolios to put it into practice, which has me all fired up to create my own personal website. I feel like I should be kicked off this indieweb.social server for not currently having one 😅
Not a lot of overlap in the React + Indieweb Venn diagram. Anyone know of interesting work being done?
Me, an idiot: “So, kids, by setting the thermostat a little lower and eating less meat, we’re doing our part to make the world more sustainable”
VCs, very smart: “We just raised $100 billion dollars from the sovereign wealth funds of three petrostates to build the world’s largest AI supercomputer. It uses as much power and water as Guatemala and the primary use case is for management consultants to autogenerate powerpoints for justifying mass layoffs.”
