A well informed rant against rutger bregman and his school for moral ambition, a powerwashing school for the elite, for them to feel good, but not to solve the issues they cause irl.

The missing article on font size on websites, while also taking the user’s preference seriously.

Some interesting ideas here, most notably that you should decide what the discussion is about. At the moment, silicon valley decides and that’s bad.

One of many people warning for a bubble

All the details about ‘Coding Independent Code Points (CICP) for color space identification’

Very, very nice article about the independent web. For my students.

But readable type, intuitive navigation, and smart color choices start in design, not in code. Developers build the product, but we set the foundation. It’s time to own that responsibility.

Form labels and what they do

Oef, wat zijn digitale directeuren toch belachelijk voorzichtig.
