This'll be part of my workplace. Instead of spending all my time behind the screen, we moved to #Bonaire to spend more time outdoors. My new part time job involves sending people out on the water and making sure they have a good time. In the hours in between, I still write code. With a nice view 🦩🌴🚤
Rental boats lined up on a wooden dock in Bonaire, ready for a day of adventure on the water.

Locking in summer assignments and got some room opening up soon. Freelance frontend dev (Vue/Nuxt) + fractional/interim tech lead work: design systems, AI-assisted workflows, architecture reviews. Good timing if your team's short on coverage this summer. Remote-first. DM if useful 👋

After 5 months living on Bonaire, still feels like a fresh, new adventure every day. And they fly by fast! We're spending more time together as a family and we've been experiencing a lot of different new activities together. It hasn't always been easy, but it's well worth the risks we took. 🦩
Nighttime photo of a restaurant built on a pier. The wooden structure is covered with a palmleave roof and the entire scene is light with underwater lighting and lights from within the structure. Looks like a good place for a late night snack! Location: Pier Dos in Kralendijk, Bonaire, Dutch Caribbean

Yesterday was my last day at Deno. From today, I'll be cheering the talented team on from outside the org. This also means that I'm now considering my next move in the DX/DevRel/Technical marketing space.

I loved working full-time on @vite.dev hired by StackBlitz. High praise to companies hiring OSS devs! But as I did when starting @vitest.dev with @antfu.me, for this new community adventure, as project steward of @npmx.dev together with @danielroe.dev, I'll be going independent. Here we go again ❤️

We were invited to attend a freestyle windsurfing demonstration. It was wild! These stunts were incredible, even in relative low wind speeds!

Today we volunteered in preserving the coast line of Bonaire. Together with 20 something volunteers we planted a lot of baby mangrove trees. These will root and will shelter the coastline as well as serve as a nursery for aquatic life. It's also a huge absorber of carbon. 🌱 Multiple eco wins! 💪
We see a collection of baby mangrove trees standing in a shallow shoreline. In the distance the iconic Salt Pier dominated the horizon. The sea is calm and the seeing sun lights everything with warm hues.

Last year we bit the bullet and chose for better work/life balance. Time spent and people met during summer on #Bonaire sped this up, and now we started a new adventure: working remotely (and part time) from this tiny Caribbean island. More family time, more outdoor life, and doing work we enjoy.
Stone steps lead to a serene beach with turquoise waters. Framed by lush green trees, the peaceful scene evokes tranquility and relaxation. This is the famous 1000 steps beach on the island of Bonaire in the Caribbean Sea.

Did a guest talk on "AI, what's under the hood?" for six graders. Boy was it fun! Lots of questions and good back and forths on the risks, how it's used and how to (try and) use it safely. This was an absolute blast! Healthy critical audience, and super bright!

What little CS knowledge I have was hard won over a long period of time. I still don't really care for it, except where it's pragmatic enough to help me make better decisions while I work. If you have a similar background to me, this article is your shortcut to more intentional programming.

The reality that Apple is actively anti-web is obscured by influential, aging web commentators who remember when it wasn't, and enjoy the wealth bubble's shiny toys. They're failing to demand better browsers on their phones, and that's a scandal: open-web-advocacy.org/blog/apples-...
