I am looking for a full-time job.

Being independent in open source for 3.5+ years has been wonderful. I've gotten done most of the high-level goals I wanted to, and miss having people & structure around me.

If you know of a role for a staff-level TypeScript+web developer, let me know! 🙂

Woke up from a nightmare where Meta decided that product placement in WhatsApp was a good idea: training llms on your private chats to mimic your contacts’ tone and slip in ads.

The darker version swaps ads for geopolitical manipulation.

The reality that Apple is actively anti-web is obscured by influential, aging web commentators who remember when it wasn't, and enjoy the wealth bubble's shiny toys. They're failing to demand better browsers on their phones, and that's a scandal:
