post from Getting started
I got an email recently from a young person looking to get into web development. They wanted to know what languages they should start with, whether they should a Mac or a Windows PC, and what some places to learn from.

post from Thoughts on quality engineering
Throughout my career, I've noticed that quality/test engineering is usually seen as a bottom-of-the-barrel discipline, something that someone should want to be promoted out of rather than someplace to end up. I find that really strange.

post from My webmention endpoint wish list
While it has some rough edges, the Webmention protocol has a lot going for it. One of the nice things about it is that it's easy to add support via a third-party endpoint, such as webmention.io, which is what I (and many others) use.

It's just occurred to me that the people I find most interesting to talk to about the web are the ones who are part dev, and part librarian, or museum worker. Curation and outreach is such an important part of the web that is so, so, so often ignored.
