🎺 Woohoo, EN 301 549 (version 4.1.0) was “adopted” and is now being prepared for publication (as 4.1.1)*. There's lots of changes, the most significant for web teams: references to WCAG are now to WCAG 2.2. * portal.etsi.org/eWPM/index.h...

OpenAI dissolves Preparedness team for AI risks — a good idea, following their news on how their agents hacked others. But maybe they realized the team wasn’t effective. And now instead of enabling it, they dissolve it. www.heise.de/en/news/Open...

I wrote this after travelling by train (after a long time of not really travelling anywhere): Progressive Enhancement inside of JavaScript remysharp.com/2026/08/05/p... Nothing new, just nice to see it up close.
Progressive Enhancement inside of JavaScript
Lately I've had the opportunity to travel by train and coach, during which time I also tend to work. It's really only during these periods that I'm reminded of…

I also realised at 5am this morning (along with not being able to sleep), that this isn't Progressive Enhancement, but Progressive Loading (or Support). Still, I think you get what I meant.
Modernes Recruiting funktioniert nicht wirklich, oder? Was macht eigentlich den Recruiter / Vermittler charmant, wenn die Stellen von mehreren Recruiting-Firmen eh nur auf freelancermap gepostet werden? Ein kleiner Gedankenpost, der einfach mal runterschreibt, was mir gerade auf dem Herzen liegt…

This. At least for too many people. I also have not experienced such a depressive mood in the past 20 years in the dev industry.

The world as we know it may not be ending! Employers are reversing many AI layoffs. "Studies find up to 50% of companies that replaced workers with AI are rehiring or expressing regret". Issues involve institutional knowledge, and disappointing productivity gains. www.techspot.com/news/112707-...

Heartbreaking. And a wake-up call. It is no longer about being difficult to find a way to sustain yourself through your work online. It is no longer sustainable to keep a website up now. Axel has done so much for the web and all of us. Buy one of his books if you can. We've learned so much from him.

4/ More of our focus should go towards maintenance, repairability, recyclability and longevity of devices.
2/ I’m not sure how to change that. We need to provide a better vision for the future than what’s currently pushed by most tech companies. They have a lot of power and (e.g.) many politicians listen to them. That’s why different narratives are important.

POV: why do companies still scale so badly? Now it needs a big restructuring leading to unhappy people. Back to less layers of management and modern squad/team structures who own the entire process is just the right thing. about.gitlab.com/blog/gitlab-... Btw I’m open for new freelance gigs!
