Messing around a bit I wrote a little Chrome extension to display reset style sheets. I liked the idea of learning when a website is taking a styling detour. The extension鈥檚 source code鈥攅ssentially a tiny style sheet that assumes that the more common resets have not been renamed鈥攊s open and available on GitHub Codeberg.
About Me
I鈥檓 Jens (long: Jens Oliver Meiert), and I鈥檓 an engineering lead, guerrilla philosopher, and indie publisher. I鈥檝e worked as a technical lead and engineering manager for companies you use every day (like Google) and companies you鈥檝e never heard of, I鈥檓 an occasional contributor to web standards (like HTML, CSS, WCAG), and I write and review books for O鈥橰eilly and Frontend Dogma.
I love trying things, not only in web development and engineering management, but also with respect to politics and philosophy. Here on meiert.com I talk about some of my experiences and perspectives. (Please share feedback: Interpret charitably, but do be critical.)
