Exactly: Code responsibly. And contribute if you like to.

About Me

I’m Jens Oliver Meiert, and I’m an engineering manager and author. I’ve worked as a technical lead for Google, I’m close to the W3C and the WHATWG, and I write and review books for O’Reilly. Other than that, I love trying things, sometimes including philosophy, art, and adventure. Here on meiert.com I share some of my views and experiences.

If you have questions or suggestions about what I write, please leave a comment (if available) or a message.

I love the content, but I don’t know why you would code it the way you did.

If you don’t mind my asking, Dave: What exactly do you mean by that? 😊

Great idea. Though is that color scheme usable and readable? Don’t get me wrong, I like the retro feel but if you are going for “Focus on accessibility.“. I’m not sure that is the best color choice.

Must I be subject to content that was parsed without validation? 😉

Jens, thanks for this appeal.

Dave, it’s HTML5 and validates.

Yes, You Can Use HTML 5

Dave, David, Dennis, thanks for sorting that out 😊 (It is valid, yes.)

Andrew, it is not the best color choice, however, it made some kind of sense to go for a “terminal style” scheme, and yet I focused on contrast. It looks worse than it is.

David (Duluoz), what do you mean? 😊

The devil is in the details, they say. You covered those nicely by using even the proper quoting style for both languages!

Thanks for that. I just sent a stern mail to my boss stating exactly these points, few minutes ago.

Nice thoughts.
Do you need one more translation? 😉
It may help to spread the word. The same in Russian:

Robert, of course, nice observation. 😊

Bruce, thank you, and great to see you here! Any kind of contribution’s appreciated, like links, suggestions, translations, or badges.

Вадим, awesome! I slightly changed the (footer) wording; would you mind following up by mail?

How about another bullet - like “use open standards” or “avoid proprietary formats”?
