Want to build faster websites? Here's how:

- Treat JS as a tool, not the foundation(!)
- Favor static HTML or server side rendering at all times
- Use Core Web Vitals alongside other metrics to learn shortfalls, improve and iterate

Then keep doing that.

In a world rightfully struggling to understand what good examples of masculinity looks like, it's a joy to read these tributes to Attenborough on his 99th.

Kindness and inspiration is the stuff great men are made of, not all that other shit.

The IEEE republished a lightly edited version of my recent essay, "In Praise of 'Normal' Engineers". 🙌 spectrum.ieee.org/10x-engineer

The greatest engineering orgs in the world are not the most pedigreed or top heavy, but the ones where normal engineers can move the business forward, day by day.

Most of what we call "tech" is about getting the right information into a database and trying to prevent the wrong person from reading or updating it.

This comment by Anders Hejlsberg on the choice of languages for TypeScript is worth reading. Spead that type of thinking! (And recognize the massive shift that Microsoft made)
