Should he really add another training program, an internship, to his computer science degree? Jo didn't hesitate long, because working at c't promised to combine two things he really enjoys: his passion for computers and writing. That was almost 30 years ago.

Since the end of 2022, his job has consisted almost exclusively of categorizing the huge wave of news about Artificial Intelligence in articles, interviews, and webinars: Who has released a new language model, where has a new AI function been attached to an app? His other topics – see below – have receded somewhat into the background. He is responsible for the content design of the c't conference.

I'm a Principal Software Engineer at adesso with more than a decade of experience of working in most roles on the technical side of projects of every size.

I'd like to think of myself as focused on simplicity and open minded, though I'm told I sometimes come across as untouchable - if you have any questions please just ask me, I don't bite ;)

When I'm not coding I like to ride rally motorcycles and I've been known to tinker with them from time to time - occasionally even with moderate success.

I'm a web developer with nearly 15 years of professional experience. Although I'm usually called senior frontend developer, lately I'm most interested in writing a wide range of bullet-proof tests for frontend applications, accessibility, good practice advocacy and upskilling fellow engineers.

I have loved React since first contact. This is because of its simplicity and intuitive approach. Recently I'm exploring possibilities to merge web and mobile development, thanks to the latest trends triggered by the React core team. I also love sharing my approaches, patterns and knowledge in general. I know it helps other developers to grow professionally, as well as it challenges what I know already.

I've been working with JavaScript since before it was cool – co-founding a JavaScript consultancy in 2008, when it was still dismissed as a toy language. That early bet paid off, placing us at the center of JavaScript's rise. In 2016, I started the JavaScript the Language meetup and launched jskatas.org, both focused on deepening understanding of JavaScript through hands-on learning and the ECMAScript spec.

I later led the Speed Team at a high-traffic platform, where we focused on measuring and improving real-world web performance. My work has consistently returned to the fundamentals: fast, lean, understandable code and a strong connection to how the web really works.

Alongside my professional roles, I've created community-driven events like jscraftcamp.org and jscoderetreat.com, centered around software passionates, clean code, and sustainable development practices.

In everything I do, I aim to reduce complexity, rediscover the power of the platform, and help others do more with less.
