WebrockerSimplicity (II) - Bastian Allgeier
Bastian reflects on a topic that's very close to (my) home -- the supposedly unavoidable Tooliganismn that is involved with working on the "modern" web.
React - Charlie Owen
Please read this post on why there's not only a problem with this popular JS framework, but how it actually hurts 'the web' (that was, as Charlie put it). It echoes my stance and resentiment against all client-side only JS 'app'ification, and that is even without the meta aspects about society and representation that Charly…
You Pay (Or Maybe You Don’t) - Heydon Pickering
Aside from the fact that Heydon and Andy have published a very interesting work regarding the art of (writing less) CSS "Every Layout" - and want to get paid for the value this will bring to your arsenal - this blog post is a very good read.

Lemmy von Motörhead und Dick Dale: Es gibt niemanden, der kompromissloser "Musik" gelebt hat, als diese beiden.

Gather round, Fullstack JavaScript Developers – together…
