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.

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 The examples are a bit outdated (a car and a cruise ship should not be the ultimate goal anymore), but this is something our students should probably learn.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?

as days pass by — A (limited) defence of footnotes
https://www.kryogenix.org/days/2025/07/03/a-limited-defence-of-footnotes/

Nice and thorough. Footnotes are style and should be used, whenever you think you should use them. Design them, and do so with attention.

Programming as Theory Building - Peter Naur · GitHub
https://gist.github.com/onlurking/fc5c81d18cfce9ff81bc968a7f342fb1

Interesting: programming is not about finishing a product, it is about making, understanding and working with the thing. So programming is not about the end result, it is about the experience. Reminds me of chronos vs kairos.

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.

I really should make a martian clock. It should somehow be political though.

E.W.Dijkstra Archive: On IPW's (EWD 867)
https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~EWD/transcriptions/EWD08xx/EWD867.html

The question is just as relevant and just as meaningful as the question whether submarines can swim.

In retrospect, this accident of history has been a disaster, since almost all the opinions pushed by the commercial propaganda were false, and, in addition, the propaganda has been so effective that for many those opinions have become dogmata that can no longer be challenged without committing heresy.

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.
