I am at my happiest when I can dive into a complex problem domain, explain it to others, and help
make complex decisions within its constraints. Here are some of my public explanations:
What should we learn from the history of UI engineering?
Preact in Pictures is a talk I gave in 2017 that fully explained the core
virtual DOM diffing algorithm,
following the code in Preact but with explanations of how it compares to React.
I also wrote a Preact Internals
series.
The new fast is a talk I gave several times in 2016 to share advanced web
performance techniques that were fairly new at the time. I covered HTTP/2, server push, advanced CDN
usage, and streaming responses.
Read Japanese Literature
is a podcast and blog run by my partner, Alison. I help with the website and sound
design.
Pyret is an in-browser programming language
and environment for use in the Bootstrap
curriciulum.
In 2020 and ’21, I updated their
IDE to be shinier, faster, and easier to use.
Federated Wiki
is a new, personal version of the wiki being developed by Ward Cunningham. In 2011, I collaborated with
him to design and build the core UI paradigm that still powers
it today.
