This profile is interested in data visualisation, data journalism, cartography, GIS, as well as news and journalism in general.

I probably could have given the print version of that element that was originally created with HTML and CSS to a colleague of the graphics team.

But because I worked four years as part of the graphics team, I knew what was asked, and I went on to do it myself (tbh really just to prove myself that I'm still able to do it …)

Why … do these all look the same, even down to the rounded corners at the top?

Use Docker, they said. Everything is going to be much easier, they said. Just pull the image and immediately start programming, they said.

How it started: «Huh, I never thought that in my work at the newspaper I would ever open a #gameengine again! Fancy that!»

How it's going:

Searching for «optimizing workflow graphic design».

Cool, thanks, so helpful.

«Choose More Stable to increase stability.»

Gee, thanks, that's so helpful!
