For a while now, I've been slowing working on a refactor of the codebase of this blog. At one point, I got caught in exciting world of performance and I wanted to make sure I had a super fast pageload. Currently, my CSS is added inline in the HTML and I found myself thinking "no one will be able to read this". I...

I'm somewhat frustrated at myself for how long it took me to finish off this post that Remy kindly tagged me in. The last time I participated in something like this was the "My Typical Day" write-up. Reading it now is an interesting stroll down memory lane. This challenge also reminded me of Manu's wonderful People...

I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for community-led events in the front-end community, and I am forever grateful for that. However, I am heartbroken by the current state of the events. Many community-led events have recently been cancelled due to low ticket sales, which feeds a gigantic gap of events left...

I want to read all the newsletters I subscribed to. I want to read everything in the ten web dev community slacks I joined. I want to read everything on the seven Discord servers I am on. I want to read every blog post in the hundreds of feeds I follow. I want to read every toot of the people I follow on Mastodon. I...

I cringe whenever I look back to the days I was the interviewer for roles at the companies I worked for. When I was just starting out my career at a company with hundreds of developers, I remember thinking and feeling that being the developer picked to interview someone meant that “you made it.” This is a true...

I'm over the moon to share that I am one of the speakers for this year's WebExpo! It will be my first time attending WebExpo. I was impressed with how keen the organising team was on the community and the attendees' experience. It will also be my first time at a multi-track conference, and the speakers list is so...

The other weekend, I attended IndieWebCamp Brighton and had a wonderful time! I've been working from home for four years, and most of my friends have left London, so events like this excite me to see internet buddies! Like Jeremy said, I, too, feel like it was my RSS feed coming to life! Notes from the event were...

This is clearly the result of living in a capitalist society. In recent years, people have felt the pressure to monetise their hobbies, so there’s a constant state of hustle. We all need money to exist in our society. In the online communities and circles where I try to hang out, there is a slight pressure to...

I am at IndieWebCamp Brighton and I am testing IndieKit! Ignore this post.

Growing up, I wasn’t close to my extended family. My parents weren’t close to them or were not on speaking terms, so, as a child, I followed their pattern. It probably explains why it took until recently for me to experience grieving while online. I just flew back from Portugal, having spent the first anniversary of...

I recently built a page where a positioned sticky element would appear when another element wasn't visible anymore. For this, I used the intersection observer. Later on, it was noticed that on an iPhone using Safari, it was as if this sticky item would start blinking, appearing and disappearing at certain scroll...
