What a trip. I just found this old photo. It was taken in Barcelona circa 2014. The four of us here were all speakers at a conference called Webvisions.

I’m sitting next to the legendary @leaverou@front-end.social, whose name was unfamiliar to me at the time. Now, of course, I and many other front-end developers know her name. Or at least should.

Hi, Lea! 👋🏻 Your talk was rad!

Also at the table is accessibility advocate @brucelawson@vivaldi.net!

I think this was in the basement of the hotel where the speakers were staying.

Four conference speakers sit around a wooden table in a dimly lit basement bar in Barcelona, mid-conversation over beers and sangria. A bearded, tattooed man on the left and a long-haired man on the right talk across the table while a long-haired Greek woman and a man with a green mohawk listen.

I’ve never been a Digital Ocean customer. But they’re really taking a nose dive right now.

First, they offer healthy financial support for the fascist Linux project, otherwise known as Omarchy. Now they’re killing one of the best CSS resources around, @csstricks@mastodon.social.

How are they killing it? Well, they’re giving SO much money to fascism that they can no longer afford the small potatoes of a CSS community knowledge base.

As @eric@social.ericwbailey.website points out, so many of us front-end developers are indebted to CSS Tricks. The authors there have been invaluable to my own skillset.

It’s painful to see this kind of thing happening. I hate fascism and death by capitalism.

Fast websites? Try Astro 🚀

In February 2026, a friend asked me to help with his small website.

The website was using an (un)managed WordPress instance at IONOS, and he was charged for PHP Extended Support.

WordPress, TYPO3 and other content management systems can become slow, insecure and expensive quite quickly. And very often, full-blown content management systems with user management and workflows are not needed.

I set up a project on GitHub, and we started working on a rewrite from scratch using Astro with clean, modern HTML and CSS.

GitHub Website Project

The Astro website is using content collections for pages and content blocks and in addition few lines of custom TypeScript code for the navigation.

The content is stored in Markdown files and can be directly authored on GitHub.

On every change (commit) a build (Static Site Generation) is started, and on success the website gets published with IONOS Deploy Now.

Static Site Generation allows fast and secure content websites of any scale with inexpensive hosting.

Astro got my attention in 2021 (before the 1.0 release) due to its support for Island Architecture, and I’m a happy user since then. Astro 7.0 was released some days ago with many improvements and new features.

I’m a former Magnolia CMS Committer, Apache Sling PMC member and Architect for Adobe Experience Manager. I do IT for fun and profit.
