My "How to fight back against Google AMP" made it to the top of Hacker News yesterday few minutes after being submitted but was demoted as there's another "big thread from 6 months ago". It's a fine rule but AMP deserves to be talked about every day 🤣

PSA: Adguard DNS is down. I use it on my phone, and I suddenly found nothing worked on either wifi or cell data.

Insomnia is an incredible free #alternative to Postman.

I cannot believe I am just discovering this marvel.

Day 30 of the #100DaysToOffload series:

I feel like I got a little bit preachy in this one, but it's something I'm passionate about. I think it's time to go back to the Internet the way it used to be.

Day 29 of the #100DaysToOffload challenge:
