… it's eeeaasyyy… 🎶 This is a song by Danko Jones and besides being a very good rock song, it has nothing to do with the topic of this post*, but I recommend that you listen to it while you are reading this. :-) *Or has it? Over the last two days I again attended…
The 10th iteration of my favorite (web|design|development|biggerpicture) conference is about to open doors in a few minutes.

Vimeo direct slaponthebackofthehead Concatenating, minifying, compressing, caching: all serviceable ways to improve the performance of web interfaces. But none are as effective as not coding something in the first place. Code that don't exist is infinitely performant and extremely easy to maintain and document.
