Darko

I'm looking for my next role: Senior or Staff, developer tools or product engineering, remote in European time zones. Full-time or B2B contract. DMs open. https://darko.io

darko.io now looks like the back sleeve of a stoner rock LP, and reads like a Tufte book. Ring wear behind the photo, halftone images, a 70s banded logo, and talks as a setlist. Go poke at it, and tell me what's broken: https://darko.io

WTS2026 retro: Feedback, numbers and the future - blog.wts.sh/posts/wts202...

It took me a bit of time to make sense of everything around @wts.rocks 2026. My point of view of the event and things to come in 2027: darko.io/posts/wts-th...

Killer album, if you're into stoner/psychedelic - youtu.be/xTPTOYhxRP8

Note: prequels/sequels implied.

See you at @wts.rocks

Less than 24 hours left ⏳

Create a moment people will still be talking about after the conference. Surprise us. Teach us. Inspire developers. Like Domagoj Marić did last year, show that great developers rarely fit into a single category. The CFP for WTS closes June 1. 👉 wts.sh

I don't do "it's my birthday" posts. But, when @sarka.bsky.social hits you with a fairly unique birthday card, it deserves to be shared 😁 Turning 40 btw, for anyone wondering. Check @webexpo.bsky.social btw 😎 Easily one of the better ones in Europe.

"Focus on shipping, leave the infrastructure to us." It's a trap. It always has been. I've self-hosted for 8 years. 3 servers. ~40 EUR/month total. Here's how I do it and sleep just fine at night: darko.io/posts/self-h...

Fresh off the press: How does the CfP work at @wts.rocks - scoring system, committee, invites, and of course, tips and tricks for applying and making it to WTS 👇 darko.io/posts/inside...

Stay tuned - we're building a whole conference in public 😎

New post: migrating from Next.js to SolidStart. The guide I wish I had when I started. Oh and the blog got a fresh coat of paint - now with a groovy stoner rock inspired aesthetic 👇 🔗 https://darko.io/posts/next-to-solidstart-migration-guide

We. are. so. back. CfP coming soon. VERY soon 😉 Tickets too.

Fun fact - I don't think I've told many people, but this was the last time I'm doing that talk. Honestly, I'm kinda tired of the topic 😅

> Be me > Have totally legitimate reasons for running a mailing list > AWS SES rejects me citing security concerns after I followed their docs to the letter Given the wording and the "clarity" I gotta ask - Yo AWS, are these security concerns in the room with us now?

Just had my first SolidStart PR merged -> https://github.com/solidjs/solid-start/pull/2007 So, I suppose I can officailly call myself a @solidjs.com shill now 😎

The stream is back tomorrow as I dig into what I've been working on in the world of Async & Signals. www.youtube.com/live/ori9xZh...

We just crossed 1 million downloads a week! 🎉🚀 Thanks to everyone supporting our community!

betamax is back - as a laser disc

I keep thinking about wanting to teach folks who are new to tech an approach called “WEB OR NOTHING”. We have to start being a lot less compromising about what tech we use and which platforms we build for.

And that's a wrap on Supertokens Launch Week! 🎉 We shipped 5 new plugin families in 5 days, all designed to solve the annoying, repetitive work around auth so you can focus on your core product. Missed any of it? We wrote a blog post with the full recap! 🔗 supertokens.com/blog/launch-...

The x-ray for your Supertokens app 🔍

Everything multi-tenant made easy 🚀

Ban bad actors in style 😎

Spambot-be-gone, in the form of a plugin 😎

And we're taking off! Make user profiles as simple as it gets 😎

Some pretty cool stuff coming 😉 Stay tuned 😎

I avoid doing politics, but enough is enough: Do better! Take back the internet, keep it weird, keep it authentic. To hell with tech feudalism. https://darko.io/posts/do-better

To hell with tech feudalism. Do the right thing - you have a say in the matter.

Simple, sure, but one of the most useful ones I can imagine 😁

The first of the angrybois for this season! I can see a lot of hot sauce in my future 🌶️

Fun fact: I have a small (60ish plants) garden in my front yard. I mostly DIY-ed it around april. The tomatoes kinda went crazy over the last few weeks. This is yesterday's haul. Ketchup/salsa time, I guess 😅
