Unpopular opinion: dark mode is not a feature, it is a baseline. Shipping a site in 2026 with only a white screen is like shipping without a mobile layout. #design
A thing church taught me that transferred straight into work: show up when it is boring.
Anyone can show up for the big Sunday. The people who matter are the ones setting chairs on a Wednesday when nobody is watching. S...
If your JavaScript says "undefined is not a function", you did not break JavaScript. You called something before it existed. Nine times out of ten it is load order. #javascript
If you only learn one thing about performance this year, learn that the fastest request is the one you do not make.

Not "your plans will be easy". Established. There is a difference and this year taught me what it is.
The deepest hole humans have ever dug is the Kola Superdeep Borehole in Russia. 12.2 kilometres. The Earth's radius is 6,371 kilometres.
We have scratched 0.2 percent of the way to the centre. #science
