(This is a sponsored post.) Now in its tenth year (!!!), Web Unleashed is one of the top events for web devs. It’s coming up quick: October 20-22, 2021. The lineup is amazing. You’ll hear from leaders in the industry, including Ethan Marcotte, Rachel Andrew, Harry Roberts, Addy Osmani, Tracy Lee Read more…
I had one of those little single-serving designer helper sites bookmarked the other day: getwaves.io. Randomized SVG waves! Lots of cool options! Easy to customize! Easy to copy and paste! Well played, z creative labs. But then I saw the little link at the top of the page, that it Read more…
Big thoughts on where the industry is headed from Shawn Wang: Advancements in two fields — programming languages and cloud infrastructure — will converge in a single paradigm: where all resources required by a program will be automatically provisioned, and optimized, by the environment that runs it.
