Definition of Web Developer

Post from September 24, 2019, filed under Web Development.

Web developer, n.: A person saying to develop web sites and apps only to do everything not to develop web sites and apps (→ tooling).

A non-judging, tongue-in-cheek observation of how we change (with) our craft.

About Me

I’m Jens, and I’m an engineering lead—currently manager for Developer Experience at LivePerson—and author. I’ve worked as a technical lead for Google, I’m close to W3C and WHATWG, and I write and review books for O’Reilly. 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 a question or suggestion about what I write, please leave a comment (if available) or a message. Thank you!
