https://alfy.blog/2025/10/04/how-functional-programming-shaped-modern-frontend.html

Beyond Bézier
https://beyondbezier.ch/

Very interesting research into the effect of the common tools used in type design. Pretty much focused on type design, but should be translatable to web design as well.

The Hovercar Framework for Deliberate Product Design • Lea Verou
https://lea.verou.me/blog/2025/hovercar/

The idea that product (design) teams need a vision to work towards. The examples are a bit outdated (a car and a cruise ship should not be the ultimate goal anymore), but this is something our students should probably learn. And something we, as a school, should do as well?

The other costs of LLMs. Or should we start calling them IPs? Internet Parasites?

How to Become a Time Billionaire
https://archive.is/CBhrS

While the idea is nice: own your time, don’t let notifications and managers own it. There is one important flaw though: the word billionaire. Becoming a billionaire is not a good idea, it is a ridiculous american dream.

Luister naar moslimvrouwen, zegt schrijver Houria Bouteldja. ‘Een vrouw met hoofddoek zegt tegen witte mensen: ik behoor jou niet toe’ | de Volkskrant
https://www.volkskrant.nl/buitenland/luister-naar-moslimvrouwen-zegt-schrijver-houria-bouteldja-een-vrouw-met-hoofddoek-zegt-tegen-witte-mensen-ik-behoor-jou-niet-toe~bc577135d/

Bovendien is het moeilijk voor te stellen hoe radicale gelijkwaardigheid eruitziet, het is onbekend terrein. Ik weet ook niet hoe een wereld zonder uitbuiting eruit zou zien, maar de huidige wereldorde leidt tot oorlog en geweld, dus het is het onderzoeken waard.

Is HSL really easier to use? • Chris Lilley
https://svgees.us/blog/hsl-bad.html

So there is no scientific proof that hsl is easier to use. But it does resemble the way human describe colours, much more than rgb.

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.

The role of the University is to resist AI
https://danmcquillan.org/cpct_seminar.html

Excellent lecture about resisting AI.

I want to conclude by emphasising that the proposition that the role of the university is to resist AI is not simply a defence of pedagogy, but an affirmation of the social importance of imagination.
