New professional website
I’m always programming on my blogging software, so today I decided to do something different. With the help of ChatGPT, which wrote the basic HTML and CSS template, I created a new resume website, which is basically a copy of everything I put on my LinkedIn profile. ⌘ Read more

Quand le méchant capitalisme enrichit les salariés
DĂ©cidĂ©ment, il ne fait pas bon en France ĂȘtre salariĂ© de grandes entreprises capitalistes : comme tous les syndicalistes, les collectivistes et les fines Ă©pĂ©es de la NUPES le rĂ©pĂštent, ces groupes ne sont que les repaires de patrons exploiteurs et y travailler revient Ă  s’asservir Ă  des cadences infernales pour des salaires de misĂšre. L’horreur, [

** Moon maker **
I recently re-read Peter Naur’s“Programming as theory building”. Afterwards I set out to write my own text editor. The paper posits that it’s really hard, if not impossible, to fully communicate about a program and sort of gestures at the futility of documentation
what spun around inside my head as I read was that our primary programming medium — text files — is silly. Like, some folks would totally 100% s

Maintenant, il va falloir du courage
Il faut du courage pour avoir une opinion diffĂ©rente, car cette diffĂ©rence entraĂźne une singularisation, pas toujours agrĂ©able et loin s’en faut. Or, de ce point de vue, les annĂ©es qui viennent de passer auront indubitablement marquĂ© nombre d’individus de traces que le temps aura beaucoup de mal Ă  effacer. Une fois la poussiĂšre retombĂ©e, [

** Accessibility and the product person **
This post is a slightly modified version of a talk I presented to the product practice at my work. It presents a few ways that product designers and managers can help to move accessibility forward. It is a little bit different than what I normally share, here, but, I thought it may be interesting to some folks.

[![Picture of a slide with the title “Why though?” It also includes a quote from Kat Holmes’ book Mismatch. The quote reads: “There are many challeng

L’Etat macronien, en mĂȘme temps, veut refaire du nuclĂ©aire avec votre argent
Rappelez-vous, c’était il y a quelques annĂ©es : en tant que citoyen français, vous pouviez quasiment faire ce que vous vouliez de vos finances aprĂšs les indispensables ponctions fiscales et sociales qui permettaient au pays de disposer d’un systĂšme social que le monde entier nous enviait (sans nous copier, pas fou). Mais ça, c’était il y [

Yout amicus: fighting for developers’ right to innovate
Our mission to accelerate human progress through developer collaboration requires us, from time to time, to fight against legal developments that would needlessly impair developers’ right to innovate. That’s why GitHub has filed an amicus brief in the appeal of Yout LLC v. Recording Industry of America, Inc. ⌘ Read more

The impending first era of AI
There’s an article in WSJ about the imminent ‘AI Boom’ and how a couple of companies, the ones that have already been both enabling and controlling our existence, to a large extent, are bound to become even more powerful. It’s interesting to ‘see’ the interplay if you’ve been working in computing technology for the past decade or so. Christopher Mims, the author of the WSJ article, posits that the computing requirements of large language models, latent text-to-image diffus

Menaces et arbitraire macronien : les tentatives de censure de la ministre de la Culture
Alors que la rĂ©forme des retraites dĂ©clenche une opposition de plus en plus farouche que Macron et sa clique ne pensaient pas devoir affronter, la nervositĂ© gouvernementale grimpe Ă  mesure que les langues se dĂ©lient sur les plateaux tĂ©lĂ© et que les â€œĂ©lĂ©ments de langage” officiels ne passent plus sans critique sur certaines chaĂźnes.

** Accessibility updates **
I’m feeling pretty chuffed! Last week I wrote about my intention to make this website more accessible. My motivations were many-fold, but, primarily, mostly shame. I’ve worked as an accessibility specialist in the past, and now spend a bunch of my days at work looking for ways to make public infrastructure online more accessible. It seemed fitting to at least make sure the little bit I contribute to the web here is also accessible.

I thought it was going t
