After a good and much enjoyed break, I'm looking for my next role as (Sr.) Principal Software Engineer/ Head of Engineering/ VP of Engineering in a product company to help them grow and make an impact on standards, DX and innovation.

Remote is a big plus, hybrid (Berlin area) a must-have. Also Open Source and helping others, empower and lead by example are things I love.

Shares are appreciated. #FediHire

Browsers and AI

Note this:

"At least one browser, Vivaldi, is holding out on the trend, explicitly rejecting AI integration due to concerns about accuracy, ethics, and environmental impact. Large language models “are essentially confident-sounding lying machines with a penchant to occasionally disclose private data or plagiarise existing work,” […] “As such, it does not feel right to bundle any such solution into Vivaldi.”

I am tickled to see this bit of web trivia listed in @TheSeattleTimes “Today in History”. I represented Boeing to the #WorldWideWebConsortium (#W3C) for years. That international Web standards org was made possible because @timbl and @CERN generously gave the initial web code to the world for free — apparently on April 30, 1993. Many of my friends here are from that connection. I am deeply grateful for that experience. And of course that we have the Web!

If you are not publishing a date with your online articles you are going to a special kind of hell where time is just a sloppy swamp and everything that happened is also happening right now but everything that is happening now happened 20 years ago. I don't make the rules, and I don't wish you ill, but put a freakin date on your articles 😭
