The busiest week in Web standards lies ahead: TPAC 2026 in Dublin 🇮🇪. My calendar looks like a game of Tetris, but I’m looking forward to meeting so many people and driving the Web forward. Highlights: newcomers event, Web Apps & WebML WGs, Hackathon, dev meetup, AI & Society workshop! #w3cTPAC #W3C

This was fun! 🇳🇴 Last week, I had the pleasure of speaking at TDC Trondheim as part of my “What’s New in Web” series. My favorite part is the last couple of minutes, where I hand the mic over to the participants for feedback I can relay to standards bodies and browser vendors. #TDC2026 #WebDev
