We have a few potential projects in our pipeline that may require contracting a skilled front-end web developer (HTML/CSS/JS) who isn’t afraid to dip into server-side templates (JSP, PHP, etc.) to bring those experiences to life. Remote position, US candidates only.

Who should we be talking to? (Boosts welcome!)

I’ve had several web developers ask me about how Safari on iOS 26 extends down behind the Smart Search field (location/URL bar)… will you need to do anything to make sure the navigation doesn’t overlap your website?

You don’t need to do anything. The web page appears to extend below, behind. But the viewport itself & your content is 100% above the bar, just like now. The background color / image / look & feel of your page is extended further… so it looks beautiful. But content will not overlap.

Also, I'm pretty sure I've said this before, but I'll say it again:

Part of your job as a senior is to tell your juniors about your fuckups. The embarrassing cringe reckless and lazy bullshit that you did when you were new, and the various times you brought down Prod. We ALL did it sometime. And then tell them: the moment you realized you fucked up, I know, the impulse is to try and cover it up, but don't do it. Come to the seniors you trust, and they'll help you unfuck it, and fight management tooth and claw like mamma and pappa bears to defend you from any shitheads in management. Because that's what our seniors did to us.
