A personal blog about life, work, and everything in between.
I love AI's speed, but it’s hurting the open-source tools we rely on. Tailwind CSS is struggling because LLMs bypass their docs, killing the traffic they need to survive. If we don't support these creators, the giants we stand on will crumble. It's time to pay for what we use.
Table Champion 2.0 is here. A complete redesign, new game modes, smarter UX, background music, a new mascot, and lots of under-the-hood improvements.
Lijsje 2.0 is here. What started as a forgotten side project turned into a full rebuild with Bol.com search, multiplayer features and Secret Santa. A simple Sinterklaas request brought it back to life.
I gave a lecture at PXL. These are my slides.
I thought AI would take my job. Instead, it gave me a second brain and made me love programming all over again.
Playing around with the first hardware product from PostHog.
App speed build, but make it real: Expo + Redux + Gluestack UI + careful AI usage = 20 hours from 'dad these flashcards suck' to 'it's live in both stores' 😺
After several unfinished attempts, I finally launched my professional site - a modern take on DOS aesthetics.
The final part of my post-Automattic series, where I look back at my final months there.
Missed last week's update since I've been busy polishing my projects. Added PostHog analytics and dark mode to Lijsje, made light-up tiaras for the neighborhood parade, and caught an amazing Vampire Weekend show. Taking it slow for the holidays!
