Inspired by Eric Meyer's blog post on Interop 2027, and Jake Archibald's awesome ranking tool, I made my personal ranking of what I'd like to see in Interop (the annual list of what browser vendors agree to work on together) for 2027.
I recently came back to my blog after many years of not posting for various reasons. I've used a combination of Github, Netlify and Eleventy to host my blog for a long time, and it worked really well. However, in September 2023, Netlify announced that they were dropping support for Git LFS because other people did it better.
People appear to be in two different camps on the question of "how hard is coding today?". There's a group who keep on the cutting edge of technology (the GraphQL-using, framework-switching bunch who are currently talking up Astro) and those who don't, or cannot, for many, many different reasons.
Inside Maersk Technology, we have lots of communities of practice - like-minded individuals who solve problems with technologies. I run the front-end community and have done for about two years.
Over time, we've run regular calls, demonstrations and tech talks to help educate the community and keep us up to date with the latest trends. This time, I wanted to go bigger - to run a half day event where we could get lots of people presenting on the same day.
It's a strange old time. In the middle of lockdown, my wife and I were expecting our second child, though we weren't quite expecting her this early. Two and a bit weeks before her due date, our littlest one arrives and I down tools to help. It's been a wonderful few weeks that I won't forget.
It did catch us all off guard though, as I'd been expecting to be part of a least another week's worth of the tech world, and then there was MS Build after that, and loads more. So, as I still scrolled through Twitter whilst seeing if she'll sleep, here's what I think I've missed in the last three weeks.
