Honest Web Dev Talk, Real Coding Picks, and the Stuff Your Developer Friend Would Actually Tell You

Why bookmark us

Four things we won’t do.

  • N

    No filler

    No SEO-padded intros. Just the test, the numbers, and what we changed.

  • R

    Real production work

    Picks come from sites we still ship every week — not from a YouTube playlist.

  • H

    Honest trade-offs

    When something looks great on paper but breaks in prod, we say so. No fanboying.

  • F

    Friend-of-a-friend voice

    Casual, conversational, the kind of advice you’d get over coffee — not a tutorial.

Reader questions

Things people ask.

  • How often do you publish?
    Weekly, sometimes twice. Subscribe to get the Friday digest with everything new + the one piece worth re-reading.
  • Who writes the notes?
    A small team that still ships production code every week. No outside contributors, no generated drafts.
  • Can I pitch a topic?
    Yes — use the Contact page. We answer everything that comes with a real example, even if we end up not running it.
  • Why no comments?
    Because comment threads decay. Email us instead — the good ones turn into follow-up posts.
  • Do you do sponsorships?
    Sponsored posts are labeled in the header and have to clear the same editorial bar. We turn most pitches down.
