April 24 Is JS Naked Day
Published on April 21, 2024, filed under Development (RSS feed for all categories).
Every year on April 9 we, a part of our field, do without CSS; from this year on, on April 24, there’s an opportunity to temporarily swear off JavaScript.
Both events celebrate important web development concepts (graceful degradation/progressive enhancement) and, ultimately, maintainability (separation of concerns).
(I’m not convinced of the normative “should” in “should work without JavaScript,” but I’m joining the inaugural edition.)
About Me
I’m Jens (long: Jens Oliver Meiert), and I’m a frontend engineering leader and tech author/publisher. I’ve worked as a technical lead for companies like Google and as an engineering manager for companies like Miro, I’m a contributor to several web standards, and I write and review books for O’Reilly and Frontend Dogma.
I love trying things, not only in web development (and engineering management), but also in other areas like philosophy. Here on meiert.com I share some of my experiences and views. (Please be critical, interpret charitably, and give feedback.)
