After a decade at Cloudinary, I am looking work. I'm a web developer who's done a lot of devrel, too. I'm good at the front of the front end, great at browsers and standards and deeply understanding and explaining technical topics, and the stem of my T-shaped skills is: "images, on the internet".

Please welcome to the stage: MonoLisa Version 3 It took quite a while, but we think it was worth the wait. MonoLisa v3 now consists of two subfamilies: the monospaced ‘MonoLisa Code’ and the proportional ‘MonoLisa Text’. In addition, we have added new features and languages.

Customize your coding experience: Make use of MonoLisa’s stylistic sets and character variants to turn it into your perfect coding font. #codingfont #typedesign #stylisticsets

Kestrels are famous for their ability to hover. This allows them to lock their eyes on the ground and search for small prey like voles and mice. TT: Jacob Rheams Wildlife Photographer - UK

wow — the preprint host, arxiv, is banning authors for a year if they submit papers with hallucinated citations 🤖

I find this unsettling: A new study in #Lancet shows that the number of faux citations in scientific articles is on the rise, and #AI is likely to blame. @aniloza.bsky.social reports. www.statnews.com/2026/05/07/l...

Welp it's official, I'm on the hunt for my next role. I learned a lot in the past 8 months, and I'm ready to get back out there for my next role. If you're looking for someone for devrel/devrel-adjacent roles, I got over a decade of experience in developer relations and ready help your team!

We have one interesting word in Finnish I haven't encountered elsewhere - jännämies (literally "exciting man"). This roughly translates as a man with exciting qualities but potentially rotten core. It stands in comparison to regular, boring men. I wonder if this tells something about our culture.

GitHub's assimilation is complete.

yesterday I reported on GitHub employee concerns about reliability and leadership, and then hours later GitHub suffered a catastrophic outage 😬 www.theverge.com/news/918001/...

I have to say one of the better ways to upgrade your audio setup is to buy a subwoofer. I bought a used Genelec 5040A to pair with my old 6010As (tiny monitors) and it brought the whole system alive. It's adding depth even to music that's not so bass heavy. It's difficult to go wrong with Genelec.

We have one cool word in Finnish I don't know in other languages. It's "amerikantemppu" (a trick of America) which roughly translated means something that looks difficult to accomplish but in reality is very simple. This word somehow made it from American movies to everyday language.

It's very funny English doesn't have a word for Winter that comes back even though it looks like Spring for a while. In Finnish we call that "takatalvi" (literally Back Winter).

Lately I've been thinking about how agentic UIs fit the picture and they seem to form a nice compromise between traditional websites and chat UIs while giving users more control. I think it can be like mashups but better as those were painful to develop. It's not all easy, though.
