If you鈥檙e a vegan and a web developer, why not join us on a humble list of vegan web developers?
That鈥檚 it鈥擨鈥檓 wondering why I had never pointed to this project, so that鈥檚 all I wanted to do now. And yes鈥擨 should probably put this on a proper domain.
(Let鈥檚 not wonder here how so many intelligent and empathetic people still consume things that billions of living beings have to suffer or die for, every year. I鈥檝e been like this, too; yet each of us may have to stop putting ourselves over other living beings first, before we fully understand how absurd and evil that is. There鈥檚 no need to exploit anyone or anything. Stop it.)
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.)
