In an article with the most clickbaity article ever, Joe Honton does a nice job of talking about the evolving landscape of web development.

let vs. const
9.1.2020
There are multiple ways to declare variables in JavaScript. We had var, and while that still works like it always has, it is generally said that let and const are replacements to the point we rarely (if ever) need var anymore. This doodle explanation does a pretty good job, if you need...

Pseudo Code
23.7.2019
Yonatan Doron wrote a post on Medium not long ago called "Art of Code — Why you should write more Pseudo Code." Love that title, as a fan of pseudo code myself. That is, writing "code" that describes something you want to do or communicate, but that isn't of any particular language and doesn't...

There is this idea of custom protocols or "URL schemes." So, like gittower:// or dropbox:// or whatever. A native app can register them, then URLs that hit them...

The (Developer’s) Growth Model
29.6.2019
I really like the post "The Designer’s Growth Model" by Dennis Hambeukers. Dennis just invented this model, but it's based on some existing ideas and it all rings true for me. Let me try to summarize the five stages as he lays them out for designers.
