Design Beyond Barriers
https://designbeyondbarriers.com/

I don’t agree with this quote, as someone who uses code as a design tool, but …

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.

… but I really like the website and I think it is a great idea for a book.

The Server Doesn't Render Anything
https://unplannedobsolescence.com/blog/the-server-doesnt-render/

Good article that explains that server side rendering does not exist.

If you love React and love using it—by all means. Just don’t mistake the complexity of React Server Components for complexity that is inherent to the web platform.

Geweldig verhaal over een geweldige kerel. Onder andere over dat zaken doen niet per se alleen maar over zoveel mogelijk geld verdienen gaat. Wat een fantastische kerel, wauw.

A Useful Guide to Bad Type
https://letterror.com/articles/bad-type.html

Very useful, extensive guide. Many points apply to other fields of design as well.

Creating a tool to execute the idea means innovation. Compromising the idea to the tool leads to stagnation.

I should sit down one day with some colleagues and write a similar useful guide to bad web design.

Why and How to Write Minimal and Valid HTML, a Link Guide · Jens Oliver Meiert
https://meiert.com/blog/minimal-and-valid-html/

A list of resources about minimal(ist) HTML. As with all minimalism, in a way it continues removing stuff until it is broken, and then it stops, which is one step too late. It should stop before it is broken. In this case: keep HTML readable for humans when viewing source.

Contra Ptacek's Terrible Article On AI — Ludicity
https://ludic.mataroa.blog/blog/contra-ptaceks-terrible-article-on-ai/?1

A few extra arguments against LLMs. Mostly a personal answer/rant to an earlier article, and mostly pointing out flaws in the argumentation. For instance, that something was bad 6 months ago doesn't mean it’s good now. The same argument was used 6 months ago by the same people. Comparing people to large organisations when it comes to copyright Anonymous examples The fact that something gets attention doesn’t mean it’s as good as stated: see apps, crypto, etc. The fact that CEOs want us to use it, same thing, and even worse, because CEOs etc
