Gleefully spinning this globe around to see where my code is running. I made a simple URL shortener / OG image replacer using a @cloudflare.social Durable Object recently and it's cool seeing where it runs: close to the users calling it. Deployed everywhere! www.cloudflare.com/products/dur...

Made a thing! Enjoying holding the recording @hertfordshirechorus.org.uk made with the London Mozart Players in my hands. I’m proud to be a part of this! Gradually being released on all the streaming platforms: orcd.co/hertsparryel...

“pppp” aka “Quiet AF” Learning how much energy and focus singing needs when you intend to be barely audible. Feel like a metaphor for our times! This closing moment of Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms is magical. @hertfordshirechorus.org.uk is almost ready for our concert at Bath Abbey on Saturday.

Yet another talk from @ryantownsend.bsky.social which is an absolute banger! He’s a class act. Full of valuable insights and techniques delivered with incredible style. #JSHeroes

Loving @mkrl.xyz’s relatable and engaging presentation style in his great talk about exploring and interacting with the code we find on websites at #JSHeroes. Lots of fun.

Home after an emotional and inspiring #AllDayHey. The 10th and final edition of this conference had a phenomenal lineup of speakers and a generous audience. So thankful for the chance to give the last talk, for the kind reception it got, and the decade of dedication from @joshnesbitt.dev and co ❤️

From time to time I rewatch this to remind me how @cassidoo.co, @tzmanics.bsky.social, @jason.energy, and I where partial to an impromptu PR merging party. And this from @davatron5000.bsky.social got me in the feels and made today a day to watch it again for a smile. bsky.app/profile/dava...

No doubt @anjana.dev's talk on Data Sonification and Web Audio API at @heypresents.com in a couple of weeks will be outstanding. But what will its perfect accompaniment be?

Not long until @heypresents.com now, so I'm pleased @cassiecodes.bsky.social called to figure out some of the beefier details.

Got a pretty good seat here in Amsterdam for @smashingconf.com today.

I think @alistairshepherd.uk did an _amazing_ job keeping is cool as I informed him of the biscuit pairing decision for his talk at @heypresents.com. I'm sure he'll be celebrating with the family.

Deep down, I always suspected that @tink.uk was going to be trouble.

I was a FOOL to think speakers at All Day Hey would not be opinionated about what biscuit is paired with their talk. @bram.us is the latest one to set me straight.

Phil Hawksworth @philhawksworth.dev · 03/12/2025

It appear that the word is out - biscuit parings are back for one last time at @heypresents.com. And isn't it just like @jakearchibald.com to have demands!? Join us for the final All Day Hey next year. (A few Earlybird tickets still available if you are quick!) heypresents.com/conferences/...

Intimidating proximity to this particular mic during our recording. You’ll be able to hear my heart beating out of my chest during the high octane moments. Which it is.

Unsurprising revelation from #perfnow: @rich-harris.dev really is ruddy good at demonstrating interesting concepts. His @svelte.dev is demo is terribly compelling.

“Simple to use, progressive enhancement, built in APIs are the best” A timeless quote from @barrypollard.bsky.social at #perfnow, (given with a deliciously timely self-reference) I love this.

Phil Hawksworth @philhawksworth.dev · 31/10/2025

Brilliant talk from @tkadlec.bsky.social at #perfnow including thoughtful and data-driven caution about the impact of agentic web, enthusiasm for “delight” and celebrations of browser progress.

When you make a glib comment in your announcement to encourage people to take their seats at a conference and throw unjustified shade at @tkadlec.bsky.social which is then committed to writing. #perfnow

🥳 All too rare mention of progressive enhancement. Yay, @inesakrap.bsky.social! It still amazes me how this approach is so often sacrificed due to less conscientious use of fashionable frameworks. #perfnow

Loving @tammyeverts.com positioning of performance and experience on the web, and the desire to make the gap between pragmatism and magic as small as possible. 🌈 #pragmagical 🦄 Great start here at #perfnow.

My friend @designthinking.lol made this amazing illustration back in 2009 to make a point when I would argue with him about flash vs HTML. Seeing it again now and thinking how tailwind had been used to homogenise the aesthetic of so many sites and now it is in my head rent free.

Live-coding and demos have come a long way. @nico.dev shows off making an interactive AI interface with voice recognition in the browser at @nordicjs.com… and then tries to give it a sense of humour. Very cool demo. Comedians livelihoods are safe for now.

Spiralling into self reflection and a crisis of confidence when asked nicely by a conference: "What walk-on music would you like?" I might need a FigJam board, a Notion document, and some focus groups to help me figure this one out. Help me Bluesky friends. You're my only hope.
