Oef, wat zijn digitale directeuren toch belachelijk voorzichtig.

Oof, depressing article about the collapse of education

Brilliant and wonderfully written article which says that everybody who doesn’t use a microwave for all their cooking is missing out.

Very detailed explanation about how to develop software using a screenreader.

Another super relevant set of guidelines to work with

Excellent resource about the UX of specific HTML elements in different screenreaders.

Brilliant, clever recursive animations

One of many people warning for a bubble

Excellent lecture about resisting AI.
