Unexpected change of plans means I am available for work right now. I'm open to #freelance or contract, has to be fully #remote.

Background across #Vue, #Nuxt, #TechLead & #EngineeringManager roles. I like building meaningful products, helping people & teams grow.

Sharing appreciated!

I loved working full-time on @vite.dev hired by StackBlitz. High praise to companies hiring OSS devs!

But as I did when starting @vitest.dev with @antfu.me, for this new community adventure, as project steward of @npmx.dev together with @danielroe.dev, I'll be going independent. Here we go again ❀️

We were invited to attend a freestyle windsurfing demonstration. It was wild! These stunts were incredible, even in relative low wind speeds!

We see a collection of baby mangrove trees standing in a shallow shoreline. In the distance the iconic Salt Pier dominated the horizon. The sea is calm and the seeing sun lights everything with warm hues.

Today we volunteered in preserving the coast line of Bonaire. Together with 20 something volunteers we planted a lot of baby mangrove trees. These will root and will shelter the coastline as well as serve as a nursery for aquatic life. It's also a huge absorber of carbon. 🌱

Fun isn’t a distraction from learning, it’s how we learn best.
The web is still a playful playground: open a text editor, try something weird, learn something new.

Let's all keep the web fun, weird, and wonderful!

Stone steps lead to a serene beach with turquoise waters. Framed by lush green trees, the peaceful scene evokes tranquility and relaxation. This is the famous 1000 steps beach on the island of Bonaire in the Caribbean Sea.

Last year we bit the bullet and chose for better work/life balance. Time spent and people met during summer on #Bonaire sped this up, and now we started a new adventure: working remotely (and part time) from this tiny Caribbean island. More family time, more outdoor life, and doing work we enjoy.

All good things must come to an end On Thursday 18th December 2025, I will be going live on Twitch for the last time. I guess this time the game really does stop, when the stream ends.

AI Slop PRs as an Attack conventional wisdom on pull request incentives is incomplete

This is a new sort of post for me. Trust in OSS is a thing I care a lot about. This post is my attempt to frame AI slop PRs as an attack on trust in open source.

Did a guest talk on "AI, what's under the hood?" for six graders. Boy was it fun! Lots of questions and good back and forths on the risks, how it's used and how to (try and) use it safely.

This was an absolute blast! Healthy critical audience, and super bright!

What little CS knowledge I have was hard won over a long period of time. I still don't really care for it, except where it's pragmatic enough to help me make better decisions while I work.

If you have a similar background to me, this article is your shortcut to more intentional programming.
