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.

https://carly.substack.com/p/taste-at-speed

When anyone can produce something that looks good, the question becomes not “Can you make this?” but “Can you tell if it’s any good?” Or: “Can you make it better?”

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 The examples are a bit outdated (a car and a cruise ship should not be the ultimate goal anymore), but this is something our students should probably learn.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 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 Terror of Total Dasein | Hito Steyerl - DIS MagazineDIS Magazine
https://dismagazine.com/discussion/78352/the-terror-of-total-dasein-hito-steyerl/

The author writes about junktime, which I think is an even higher step from kairos -> chronos -> junktime. Who was it again who said that Kairos is village life, Chronos is city life, controlled by the clock, and then Junktime might be online life, controlled by ever presence.
