I'm Dutch, a dad, a front-end developer, and I work on the design system for an international bank. #CSS

I love to run. I'm currently training for a half marathon trail run. #Running

Music is life and #metal is a big part of it.

🇵🇸 The streets of #theHague colored red today. It’s the second massive #redline protest against the genocide in Gaza. With 150,000 others we marched to demand more action from the Dutch government as violations and barbaric policies continue. Please join us next time. Big shout out to everyone who attended, it was very VERY impressive. ❤️

Did a nice longer run today. Finally took a good photo of one of the windmills I often pass in De Munnikenpolder. This one was moved here from somewhere else and acts as a reserve, as far as I remember. I don’t think anyone lives in here.

Finally took my new shoes out for a run. First time I’m using New Balance, outside of my sneakers. So far so good, had to size up for them to fit properly, but the run was great (but warm already 🥵)

We have a few potential projects in our pipeline that may require contracting a skilled front-end web developer (HTML/CSS/JS) who isn’t afraid to dip into server-side templates (JSP, PHP, etc.) to bring those experiences to life. Remote position, US candidates only.

Who should we be talking to? (Boosts welcome!)

Oof… “I hope you still own the original Switch charger because we don’t recognise any random one while you’re in the process of transferring your Switch data to Switch 2.”

(I do, but weirdly enough it doesn’t let me use my travel charger with usb-c or my Apple charger)

✅ Race: mozart 100 by UTMB

We started at 05:00 and I was in at 23:50; after 18 hours and 48 minutes.

Austria 🇦🇹 when it’s best 🤩. 80% good weather. Then rain showers 🌧️. Super scenic. Lots of hiking but also lots of running 🥳🤩

The last 10 kilometers - although on paper short - took an eternity 🤭 due to darkness, rain ➡️ mud, massive technical downhill and 1 million stairs UP at Kapuzinerberg. But then; the finish line 🤗

Veel gehoord ‘rechts’ argument: Links jaagt bedrijven NL uit. Bedrijven die echt vertokken deden dat vanwege ‘beperkt beschikbare fysieke ruimte; onvoldoende elektrische net- capaciteit; onvoldoende aanbod van talent en huisvestingsmogelijkheden voor talent’.
Kortom door korten op onderwijs, stikstofprobleem niet oplossen en niet investeren in duurzame infrastructuur. Rechts beleid jaagt bedrijven weg.

I had to race to the start of my Parkrun this morning. The 200th edition of the Kagerzoom Parkrun, so an anniversary. I missed the speech and had to squeeze myself to the middle of the group of people at the start. After the first meters I noticed my shoelace was untied 🤦‍♂️. So not a personal best today, but it did feel good and did a nice sprint at the end.
