LDflex: a Read/Write Linked Data Abstraction for Front-End Web Developersvideo
A video on why the Semantic Web has failed to attract developers and a proposal to fix that.

An article on WAGI, an experiment to use WebAssemby on microserivce architectures applying some classic ideas from CGI.
Kitty
A terminal emulator capable of displaying images. This terminal has replaced my previous setup of Alacritty, iTerm and tmux.
