April 24 Is JS Naked Day
Published on April 21, 2024, filed under Web Development (RSS feed for all categories).
Every year on April 9 we, a part of our field, do without CSS; from this year on, on April 24, there’s an opportunity to temporarily swear off JavaScript.
Both events celebrate important web development concepts (graceful degradation/progressive enhancement) and, ultimately, maintainability (separation of concerns).
(I’m not convinced of the normative “should” in “should work without JavaScript,” but I’m joining the inaugural edition.)
About Me
I’m Jens, and I’m an engineering lead and author. I’ve worked as a technical lead for companies like Google and as an engineering manager for companies like Miro, I’m close to W3C and WHATWG, and I write and review books for O’Reilly and Frontend Dogma.
With my current move to Spain, I’m open to a new remote frontend leadership position. Feel free to review and refer my CV or LinkedIn profile.
I love trying things, not only in web development, but also in other areas like philosophy. Here on meiert.com I share some of my views and experiences.
